WAG Discussion of abuse in USAG - Nassar

[TumbleTimes4]

I hope this case makes kids less afraid of speaking up when something doesn't seem right. Simone and the other "stars" to speak out have been a great example. I can totally understand why the girls didn't mention it at first. They didn't want to be seen as "complaining."

I can’t remember which survivor it was but I was blown away when she said she told two counselors and someone from CPS and yet he still wasn’t investigated!

Has Aly gone yet? I stopped to watch Jordyn's video.

She's going now

Aly is blasting EVERYONE involved. Go girl.

 

[SMH]

Aly went in for the kill! Amazing statement!

 

[TumbleTimes4]

When she (Aly) is done, would someone please post the link of her speaking? I am not in a place where I can watch the live feed and I want to watch her slay!

Aly for president

I missed the judge's response to Aly. Did she say anything notable?

Yes, she was wonderful. Hopefully it will come up on video, but she said that Aly will be a big part of the solution and praised her and fellow survivors as the new state of the art.

The judge said, "there's a new state of the art and it's called Aly Raisman."...also said "You were never the problem but you are so much a part of the solution"...according to my daughter, Aly is taking no prisoners and slaying them all!

 

[LindyHopper]

The courtroom reaction to Aly's statement about the fact that there were athletes training at The Ranch yesterday (the same day they announced the ending of the lease) was so incredulous. Aly's face was so "I know, right?"

This is YouTube video of Jordyn Wieber.

OMG. I am in tears watching Jordyn's speech. I can't watch the proceedings live, but how is the judge holding it together?

Jordyn Dear God, I can’t even imagine the horrors she has endured at the hands of Nassar and Geddert for over a decade. My heart just breaks for her.

My dd and I have been watching a little together, hands clasped together and tears streaming down our cheeks. I mentioned that I didn’t think I could watch if Simone had testified, because she’s always been so happy and upbeat and it would be heartbreaking, and my dd said that would make it imperative to watch. To see and acknowledge that people can hide so much with a sweet smile- that makes it all the more important to also acknowledge the pain beneath the surface. My dd is 16, so I don’t speak toward younger girls at all, but I think it’s important to her as a teen.. an empowered young woman.. to bear witness for them and accept the evil that’s festered in a sport that she loves. It’s as eye opening as it is heartbreaking.

I pray that it was a tray of sandwiches in that box...

Rumor is the MSU Board of Trustees just had a cake delivered to their 3+ hour meeting regarding events surrounding Nassar, and the future of University President Simon.

Lunch, I can understand. A cake would seem tone-deaf

So this monster Larry Nasser still has an active YouTube channel full of videos of him showing different treatments, and taping methods, and other physio stuff being demonstrated on young girls!!

I have made a complaint to YouTube to have it taken down. If others want to, it might get attention faster. It's under the name gymnastics doctor.

Be warned, knowing what we know about him, these videos take on a new perspective, at least for me.

Sounds like they are leaning towards either an existing camp or college facility for future camps. No details yet , they are working hard to figure it out. This just sucks because there are some really outstanding people who do the devo camps.

I think adding a gym and additional dorm to a place like Chula Vista would be ideal, but obviously that's a long term solution that would take a lot of money.

Trenea Gonzcar's speech is incredible.
