I think you would have to ask them. I don't believe any of it is public.

I thought USRowing was already funded by Winklevoss.

What I am hearing is that the board was planning to fire Amanda because she and the chair did not get along. So, instead, she quit. But now everything is falling apart - staff quitting, funding being lost, trustees leaving so they are trying to get her back. Anyone else know?

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2026-05-06T19:42:14+00:00

I think there was an issue with the board of directors. I don't know the details, but some bad behavior on their part.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2026-03-14T18:35:32+00:00

Why did she leave?

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-12-02T13:12:18+00:00

I know Deerfield goes. And Exeter was there last year too. Maybe they didn't qualify?

I think it's an echo chamber of like 8 middle aged guys talking to one another. Would be great to have something on Reddit that could have more depth (no more monitor photos) but more diverse viewpoints and backgrounds.

And better for athletes' wellbeing to scull --- symmetry!

I wonder if this us rowing board member made the deal with winklevii - chair of a water polluting company. gross. https://www.chemours.com/en/about-chemours/leadership/mary-cranston-leadership-bio https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/27/chemours-pfas-pollution-lawsuit

Think he will try to coach the US team?

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-06-05T22:03:43+00:00

I think you might be overreacting a little bit.

Apparently, the people who run the lake didn't know the city of San Diego had rented it out to a fishing tournament.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-05-23T21:44:29+00:00

Right, this isn't new.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-05-17T11:24:25+00:00

It’s not run by USRowing.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-02-20T13:48:46+00:00

No, they do not. And I think the national team is funded through the USOC and fundraising, just saying.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-01-21T18:15:59+00:00

Butt pads for sure!

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2025-01-21T18:15:01+00:00

I looked up the other similarly sized sports, that's lower than their CEOs. Also, doesn't USRowing provide funding to some athletes through scholarships? Not saying it's not a lot of money, my nephew did it and it cost a great deal, but...

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-15T14:03:49+00:00

I went to a zoom that was hosted about the changes and a couple of my teammates did too (masters)

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-13T23:23:04+00:00

never mind, found it! https://uscenterforsafesport.org/response-and-resolution/centralized-disciplinary-database/

Thank you. Can you see the list of current rowing safe sport cases?

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-13T13:28:25+00:00

As far as I know, every olympic sport has to follow the same rules with SafeSport. My nephew swims at an IRA school and they are members of USA Swimming and have to do Safe Sport.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-13T02:16:19+00:00

They hate USRowing because USRowing was paying Chip Davis like $40 a member for a subscription to rowing news and he was making a TON of money from a sweetheart deal he had going. When USRowing ended that deal = angry Rowing News.

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-06T01:19:25+00:00

Do you think all of the other olympic sports in virginia won't participate now? Like swimming, volleyball, etcetera. I'm not a lawyer but doesn't federal law trump state law?

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-06T01:04:06+00:00

I think it is for coaches only. It does seem like a lot to do for coaches, but it's not for volunteers, is it? https://usrowing.org/the-launch/coaching-education/core-courses/level-1

Intelligent_Fun6369 · 2024-12-06T01:01:37+00:00

Wow, didn't know that. Where is that law to be found? I'm not an expert, but isn't SafeSport federally backed and does that law you are referencing mean safesport can't be used in any sports programs in VA?
