And for the lady, perhaps a plastic baseball helmet full of ice cream?

my god what a way to end your career. >be the greatest alpine skier of all time >come out of retirement >tear ACL a week before competing >compete without ACL >crash during your gold medal run and snap your leg >crash completely unrelated to ACL >USA still takes gold because you inspired the next generation Fucking legend.

"Oh, so, you would compete with a torn ACL?" No, I wouldn't, but that's why I'm not an Olympic athlete. I never got up every morning at 4am to train all day for years. Decades. I never froze my ass off while getting yelled at by a coach for small mistakes and asking if I really want this. I never watched my family scrape together money for my training as a kid because I told them this is my dream and they believed in me. I never worked shit jobs during those years of training as a teen and adult to support myself. I never got injured and sucked it up and persevered. So, no, I would not have raced because I'm not about that life and never have been. That's what extraordinary about Lindsey Vonn. She earned her way back onto Team USA through the same grit and excellence that have defined her career. She didn't "steal a spot" from anyone. She's 41 and came out of retirement and bested skiers much younger because she's simply the better athlete who put in the work. She tore her ACL, consulted with medical experts who gave her the green light, decided to forge ahead, looked great in her training runs, and she was absolutely competitive for the medal stand. That's the tragic irony of all this: she crashed because of something that could have happened to any skier, not because of her knee. She knew something like that could happen, yet she still competed fearlessly. As she's always done. It's why she's an Olympian, and you aren't.

Weird how Republicans can link Tylenol to autism with no evidence but can't see the link between guns and mass shootings despite a mountain of evidence.

ok? so he's as good as lindsay lohan was when she was 12

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

that horrific footage is the same thing that happens to children at school, btw.

what does it say about us that the news of a conservative political activist getting assassinated may need to compete for coverage with yet another school shooting
