re: Remove

I've been kinda waiting for the shoe to drop on the gymnastics program. I had heard a few rumblings in the past week or two regarding some gymnasts who did not have a particularly good experience while at LSU. Looks like Randii Wyrick is the first one (that I know of) to comment on this. She posted quite a bit on her Instagram story last night. The one that stuck out to me was the quote that read "Don't even get some started on college athletics....BOY DO I HAVE MAJOR TEA ON THAT. Just because you go to a "top school" in one of the "top conferences" doesn't mean ANYTHING but being exposed to even more abuse." Another one (which seems to imply club and college) was "One day we'll discuss how "rehab" is set up to get you "back out there" to compete rather than genuinely focusing on your health and a full recovery."

These comments broke my heart even more. I was literally almost in tears. I am so hurt for all the gymnasts who have been coming out the past 5-6 years about abuse related to sports. We need changes across the board. We must protect our athletes.
