Good. She can stay home. Whether she likes it or not, she is representing Trump and his voters. She can stay home if she actually wants to make a REAL statement. Otherwise she can STFU.

She should kneel at the olympics.

Trump should tweet - Good to know I won't have sub par representatives in SK! It's important to have good, strong representatives on the Korea peninsula these days! USA!

Cool, she should stay home then and let someone who actually wants to represent the US have a shot.

Maybe she should start with a basic civics course.

She doesn't come off as the type of girl you'd want to go steady with. She seems fun for a couple of hours then completely annoying after that.


There was a documentary on tiger's affairs I saw last week. Lindsey's position was that she would never marry again. But while dating Tiger it had to be exclusive...no cheating until they part ways. Tiger promised he wouldn't cheat. The dumb bitch believed him.

Kind of an odd thing for her to say and for you to be shocked about. I assume that U.S. Olympians throughout our history have considered themselves representative of the country and its people and not of the president.

yea... kind of the point he's making. Since it is widely assumed, unless she is unhinged because of Trump, why does she have to bring attention to her motives?

Ironically, that is exactly what Trump represents- The people of USA

So she wants to rep the 66% of Americans that disapprove of Trump?

Ski well and STFU, Lindsey. No one gives any more of a shite about your politics than they do mine, or my dog's.

Vonn also said she wouldn't accept an invitation to the White House were she to win gold in Pyeongchang.


"Absolutely not," she said. "No. But I have to win to be invited. No, actually, I think every U.S. team member is invited. So no, I won't go.

Vonn is the latest U.S. Olympian to state she would spurn an invitation to the White House. According to Scott Gleeson of USA Today, "Olympic free skier Gus Kenworthy and figure skaters Ashley Wagner, Nathan Chen and Adam Rippon have also publicly stated that they would not travel to the White House."


Terrible.

It is bad enough that PROFESSIONAL sports have been politicized. But amateur sports, much less fricking Olympians should not be picking sides. You get invited to the White House, go to the White House.

Trump isn't Hitler and you going or not going isn't the final straw that forces sea change in political currents. Suck it up and represent the country. Later as an individual, you can support or oppose whoever the hell you feel like.
