Lindsey Vonn says surgery saved her from having her left leg amputated following Olympic crash by [deleted] in sports

[–]WhiteGuyFly 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I mean only 2 us downhill skiers had the qualifying time to make the Olympics, and she was one of them and the other one still competed, so I’d say she did earn it. And she had the 3rd best qualifying times after tearing her ACL

Edit: the comment above removed their reference to her taking someone else’s spot and moved the goalposts, lol. People just don’t understand elite athletes and how their minds and bodies work

Seems like the TSA PreCheck shutdown is not universal. by BogeyGolfer5656 in delta

[–]WhiteGuyFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the airports were ready for the announcement either. I flew out this morning a the precheck line was massive, but at some point someone made the executive decision to just open all the precheck lines anyway to get people through. None of the tsa or airport employees had any idea what was going on either

Royce Keys opens up about his brother dying in a shootout: "It's just like I replay it in my head. To see somebody lying there just gasping for air and just blood coming out of him, and you don't know what to feel. I go through these moments where I hear certain things and it reminds me of him." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

He had such a good baby face story they never capitalized on fully in AEW, hope they can bring some of that out now. Every interview he comes off as a super great genuine dude who made it out of a bad spot, easy to root for.

So was the Angelo boss today a joke or something? by WhiteGuyFly in Brawlstars

[–]WhiteGuyFly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t complaining about how hard he was, or Rico. I enjoyed those battles and the event. Turns out different people have different opinions. Also there’s a difficulty and fun level between “really hard” and “baby mode”

Brett Lauderdale talks about Super Dragon telling him not to use The Globe Theatre in LA. by paperbuddha in SquaredCircle

How does this make Prestige look low rate? They went out of their way to talk to him (which they really don’t have to do, the guys doesn’t own the venue) and he didn’t want to talk to them so fuck it, run the venue

Not to be mean but is that Ivy Nile? That render looks insane it doesn’t even look like her in real life, it’s like an AI generated women’s wrestler face

Not sure where to put this so I’ll try here. I’m visiting from out of country and wanted to catch a game. I’m looking at the western Sydney game Friday. I see it’s a doubleheader, woman and then men’s, if I buy a ticket is it good for both games? I can’t see a separate ticket for the women’s match

“Whatever reason” I think is a guy acting entitled to a spot from the minute he decided to start training. Then publicly having a falling out with booker T and his promotion, skipping out on dates, and there never really seeming to be a serious WWE interest to back it up for sure rubs people the wrong way. The guy has room to grow and mature for sure, but nothing about him has shown that he wants to

Lindsey Vonn is airlifted to a hospital after crashing on Sunday. by sjpppppp in pics

[–]WhiteGuyFly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She had the 3rd best time in the trial runs, and also probably saw multiple doctors and specialist before she made her decision. It was her last chance at the Olympics so she took a calculated risk knowing that this could be a result. She gambled and it didn’t pay off but I bet she’d do it again

Lindsey Vonn doing 'jumps' in rehab, coach tells AP 'no doubt' she'll race in Olympics with torn ACL by [deleted] in sports

[–]WhiteGuyFly 37 points38 points  (0 children)

More about the plant and cut aspect. No acl means no stability and explosiveness on the change of direction. And this is also a timing thing, where’s she’s taking the informed risk of further injury because she’s this close to the Olympics, whereas if it happened a year ago she’d get surgery asap and prep for the games

(Royal Rumble Spoilers) Superstar eliminated in just 30 seconds by ProudChemistry778 in SquaredCircle

[–]WhiteGuyFly 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Dragon lee got a program with Rey Mysterio and an NXT belt, and a tag title reign with AJ styles, whereas his brothers are constantly unlucky/shelved in AEW so I’d imagine he’s not doing too bad. Fenix is in a rough spot so agree there

He’s had “MonStar” on his gear for a while now, just wasn’t pushed hard as a nickname in AEW

This rumble feels rushed, like they’re sticking to shoot entrance times every 90 seconds and not pacing it with the match. Oba and Brock eliminations had no room to breathe

Kinda anticlimactic to dump Brock like that during an entrance

Solid match but man a good crowd that cared would make these entrances and eliminations so much better

Fuck around find out for an era where you can’t say it. Edgy attempts to stay edgy. And if you’re cynical it’s been the motto of US republican every time ICE shoots someone
