Whoever--or whatever--runs USA Gymnastics has a serious self-reference problem.
In an interview Wednesday, the president of USA Gymnastics announced plans to boycott states that have limited abortion because pro-life views do not align with USAG’s values.
Speaking with the Associated Press, USAG president Li Li Leung said abortion laws will be a major factor in whether a state is chosen to host future events.
“We want to be able to align with cities and locations that are also aligned with our value system,” Leung said....
Let's look at what USA Gymnastics' "values" include!!
...Leung stepped into her role as the head of USA Gymnastics in 2019 with the hope of rebuilding trust in the organization after it allowed a pedophile USAG team doctor Larry Nassar and other pedophiles to molest hundreds of young gymnasts for decades. Starting in the late 1990’s until 2016, more than 368 gymnasts alleged that they were sexually assaulted “by gym owners, coaches, and staff working for gymnastics programs across the country.”...
...An investigation by The Indianapolis Star over a period of nine months found that the abuses were widespread because “predatory coaches were allowed to move from gym to gym, undetected by a lax system of oversight, or dangerously passed on by USA Gymnastics-certified gyms.”
USAG and Michigan State University (MSU)—where Nassar worked as its osteopathic physician—were accused of enabling Nassar’s abuse and named as defendants in civil lawsuits that former gymnasts filed against Nassar. Several other coaches were involved in the scandal in Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, Rhode Island, Indiana, and elsewhere....
Thanks, Ms. Leung. You can take your values and shove them where the sun never shines.
These evil spawn, they all sit in these power seats, feasting on children, indeed. About twenty years ago I said to my husband, children are going to be under attack in an unprecedented way. They certainly are today. Caring adults need to step it up to protect them. Gymnastics is often not a healthy sport, mentally, for kids. Too much pressure, and too much emphasis on the body.
ReplyDeleteIn any sport, any activity, no matter what it is, parents need to really keep an eye on whoever has access to their child. Don't let people be alone with your child, because today there are many freaks out there who look respectable but have evil plans for kids. And a child sent out into this world without having a solid Christian foundation guiding his or her life, is truly a lamb among wolves.
