One of my good friends works at one of his sponsors and spent a lot of time with him says he's a complete douche IRL.

Same person said Rickie Fowler is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

The dude is a total douche, but I really don't see the issue. White owns the band, and he wants the band to look a certain way. She wouldn't, so he fired her.

Congratulations Shaun White. You have now joined the exclusive #metoo accused club that includes now every man.

the reporter was very sanctimonious in questioning White about the allegations during White's post medal news conference. White tried to brush it off and say "he was there to talk about the Olympics"

She's a sports "reporter" that injects SJW/#metoo/women's issues into every "story" she reports on. She traveled all the way to South Korea to make a story out of her question not being asked.

She's the woman who wrote an entire article in USA Today on Fred Funk being sexist for jokingly saying since getting older and Annika Sorenstam out driving him he may need to move down to the ladies tour

Christine Brennan of the USA Today is all hot and heavy over Sean White. She comes off like a total a-hole in her twitter comments.

Shaun White just called the awful allegations against him “gossip” in a press conference where no woman journalist was called upon even though several, including me, had their hand up the entire time. #MeToo

I’ll be talking about my Shaun White #MeToo column and the USOC news conference in which only male reporters were called upon this morning ET on @GMA, @HLNTV, @cnni and @usatodaysports Facebook Live.

Interesting. Amy Robach of GMA and Christine Brennan of USA Today both had hands raised entire Shaun White press conference. Not one woman was called on for a question. There were about 8 questions allowed.

Thanks for asking that question, Matt. What an embarrassment that U.S. Olympic Committee press conference was.

In response to my question whether sexual harassment claims against him would tarnish his legacy, @shaunwhite said he wouldn’t answer the question, called the allegations against him “gossip.” @cbrennansports notes not single female reporter allowed to ask a question at presser

Christine Brennan is a cont who has made a career with this nonsense

The Fred Funk stuff was pathetic. He is universally considered one of the nicest guys on tour.

I am so sick of the media playing judge, jury, and executioner. Regardless of what happened, it was settled between the two parties, and White has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

What exactly does the media want to happen now? Do they want to tarnish the man's reputation over lewd text messages, the nature of which is unknown, and prevent him from snowboarding ever again?

It's ridiculous. It's all about getting clicks because sex sells and pushing an imaginary narrative of rape culture.

I watched CNN "journalists" express shock that the allegations haven't received more coverage. Well, maybe it's because you people have oversaturated the #metoo phenomenon with bullshite allegations.

Correct, it was an embarrassment.

Because of her and Matt Gutman.

Apparently they don't want to be treated equally. They want there questions answered because they are women.

She finally found a receptive media outlet & audience to air out her grievances today.

Looking forward to talking to @johnberman about Shaun White on @CNNnewsroom in a few minutes as midnight approaches in Pyeongchang.

Just her hair?

If so, that's not even sexual in nature.

From the looks of it, his only mistake was wrongly thinking that feminist women have a sense of humor and can take jokes as well as men.
