Lay off Lolo. She's no more of an attention whore than any other track athlete, its an individual sport that makes money from endorsements. She's attractive so gets more than the others and that leads to resentment.

Do your thing Lolo.

Don't have a problem with tweet, but that said LoLo is all about LoLo, she isn't doing anything for the good of bobsleding. She isn't interested in being some savior to the sport she is doing it all to get that elusive gold. More power to her for having the means and the drive.

yeah, buddy.

Even the most casual of sports fans who watched last year's Summer Olympics became aware of who Lolo is. By the way, have you ever heard of Gabby Douglas or Missy Franklin? Do you ever watch ESPN?

Sorry, that wasnt directed at you,tubucco. I just replied to the last post. Was meant for the people earlier in the thread bashing Lolo.

sorry for not knowing the name of a runner who has never medaled in a sport that is only popular for two weeks every 4 years.

im not made about anything. my guess is you dont know who ryan lochte is either. if you dont follow sports thats cool. to each his own.

when i said you lived under a rock i guess i should have just said under a "sports" rock.

Ryan Lochte has gold and a tv show. Lolo has a 4th and 7th place finish.

I like how you made fun of me for a typo when you used bad grammar in the statement above my previous statement.

and lolo's trip made her more famous than winning the gold and she's had several documentaries done on her. you literally have had to ignore sports for the past five or so years to not know who she is. give it up, you lost the argument.

touche on the your/you're thing though.

She is essentially the female Tebow. Not the best at their trade but total media darlings. Those documentaries were on ESPN by the way...

sec storied did one. i think they did one on bo jackson too that might interest you. and there have been countless pieces done on her especially during the olympics. and many other pieces done on her since she switched to bobsledding. she's been impossible to avoid basically. she rubs a lot of people the wrong way, lsu fans included.
