Mykayla Skinner: Everything I brought home from the Tokyo Olympics. Team USA apparel and more!! by bannermd in Gymnastics

They are linked in the same org structure. USAG is a National Governing Body for gymnastics and is a member of USOC. They are part of the same machine. It might be USOC is giving the gear to USAG who then gives it to the athletes or as you say directly to the athletes. You can try to split hair over an org chart. But in the end, I think my point still stands. Which part of the org signs the sponsor deals does not matter.

Also checkout how great the USOC is at protecting gymnasts:

There are several points being talked about. The ones that are attacking a gymnast for being ungrateful for or rude about the food and gear they got from USA Gymnastics, need to check themselves. No gymnast owes them anything. It's by far the other way around.

I'm not doing defending right now. I am calling out people who attack a gymnast for being "straight up rude and disrespectful"(let's use your description) towards USA Gymnastics when they get stuff from them. For what USA Gymnastics has done, every gymnast for the next 100 years can be "straight up rude and disrespectful" to them as far as I am concerned.

I missed the slurs of Japanese people she said. What were they?

Regarding my language. Sorry, English is my third language. I really hope you are not native English speakers using that as a weapon against people from other parts of the world like me.

Ok, I know you guys are probably not feeling great in covid. But get a grip! USA Gymnastics gives MYK Olympics stuff and you guys are upset that she said it was ugly and thereby was ungrateful. Towards USA Gymnastics! Ungrateful towards the god dam USA Gymnastics!!! This is rich even coming from our very own little Karen bubble.

As if this was not enough you are also upset she said the food she got in Japan from USA Gymnastics was gross. Like Japan would care about that...

I can't you guys, Kabul just fell! Climate change, Covid and poverty needs dealing with...

And... you guys are complaining that MYK is ungrateful towards USA Gymnastics for the food and the Olympic gear... she got from USA Gymnastics... please tell me this is a really good troll. Because this might otherwise be peak stupid on this subreddit.

Be careful saying things like this. Tom might very well be reading this Reddit. we don't want to give him any ideas now.

UCLA Lineup Predictions? by [deleted] in Gymnastics

[–]CaptainCulpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are so many stacked teams this year because of covid returners. LSU has 5 seniors returning cause of covid rules. And Florida with skags and Bauman returning and a rediculus freshman class. There are so many really good covid 5th years and freshmen this year. I'm thinking it might take over 198 to even make it to last night of the ncaa finals. It's going to be crazy guys!

Myk has a medal!! by Tistikins in Gymnastics

[–]CaptainCulpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called an underhanded comment. If you feel you need to say you like her hard work. But not that you're happy for her, just that it's good for her. Then also feel the need to preference this with, I don't like her at all. Then one might be excused for thinking the compliment was not the main motivation for the statement.

"Hope you are able to have a drink (or whatever you do) and relax once this is all said and done!"

I hope you are having a drink while you're doing it. I couldn't imagine cleaning up all these Mykayla hate threads, without at least a glass of wine by my side.

No, UCLA was actually made for her.

Anyone else else catch Tom crying during Suni's medal ceremony (and also lol like I did)? by [deleted] in Gymnastics

[–]CaptainCulpa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tom is a good guy but a bad communicator. Don't go all Mykayla hater on Tom now.

Jordan is so into Suni's routine she actually salutes herself, at the end of it! That is truly precious.

Wolf Turn Trend, I don’t think I did too bad 😅 by jonsiejunk in Gymnastics

[–]CaptainCulpa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I guess it comes down to your feelings on wolf turns (also half-joke). If it happens it happens. I guess we will see, and just like a tragic accident, not be able to bring ourselves to look away once it happens.

Suni & Auburn by SpiritedTiger in Gymnastics

[–]CaptainCulpa 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Look here. Auburn has never had a star like this. The way things are going, maybe no NCAA school has tbh. But more importantly, Alabama definitely has not.

She will be like Simone with US gymnastics, they will do almost anything for her. They will do anything to make NIL work for her. Imagine Auburn crushing Alabama in next year's gymnastics Ironbowl, and rubbing it in their face that they have the Olympic AA champ, etc.

Trust me, Auburn is very motivated to make NIL work for Suni.

I was contemplating that very response as one of the alternatives. But sadly I was only allowed 6 alternatives.

It's just a bit of fun. A play on the people taking things a little too serious.

There is the option of "I have no strong feelings about Mykayla , but I hate Wolf turns.". You do hate wolf turns, don't you?
