Yet no one is mentioning he's a pretty piece of shit human who had to settle a sexual harassment case out of court in the last year.

It's almost as if most of this country has zero self awareness

Well, if it was settled out of court, there might be some legal issues with speaking of it on the airwaves. Besides, those with a vested interest in watching the Olympics likely wouldn't want to hear negativity so they could enjoy watching or are so much of a jingoist that they wouldn't care as long as gets the gold for the country.

So you're immediately taking the word of someone who took the money and left?
Settling out of court does not mean guilty at all.

There's an accusation, which Shaun White said was BSing and his other friends vouched for him on it.

Oh no! People would have to know their Olympic athlete is a shitty human!

People were ready to crucify Michael Phelps for smoking weed.

Why is Shaun White getting a pass for being a piece of shit?

That's a pretty low standard for what qualifies as a meltdown, imo, but I do agree with making light of it.

Kind of funny you chose to phrase it like that considering one of the main points of the suit was a breach of contract

Getting a pass for what you exactly? In order to get a pass, something would have had to happen, and as far as I'm aware, there's zero proof of.

He did get arrest before like fighting and the vandalism. And I can't remember but I think he had a row with a cop too.

Even if he did do anything, it was sending some woman penis pics and naughty texts. Oh heavens! Crucify him! That and her claim that he was an "authoritarian" in his management style of his band.

Uh. Pretty sure the Shaun White lawsuit has been common knowledge since it was filed 2-3 years ago.

That only works in the case of art

As much as I love sports, shit ain't art

It's not 'idolizing.' It's expecting people that represent your country to not be pieces of shit

But I mean look at our president

Cause this is specific to America. No controversial athletes outside the US. BTW this even if true was minor. Sorry don't think sending a dick pick is an irredeemable crime.

He's not running for office or trying to date your mother he is competing in a sporting event. His personal issues that came up in a law suit years ago, which by your own admission involved a breach of a contract as a main point, has no bearing on his dominant athletic performance.

Seems you are melting down because someone is good at a sport that you don't like.

Might be easier to try getting over it.

People like you really dilute the meaning of the word meltdown. I get youre just trying to provoke him into responding poorly, but hyperbole isnt your strong suit.
