I saw that, and it was horrifying and awful!WARNING— I forgot to mention that they (for no purpose I can agree with) decided to include the awful footage of Rebecca Bross’s devastating knee injury. It’s somewhere between mins 11-15 (can’t remember exactly). But if you do not want to watch the injury happen, LOOK AWAY. Her cry is heartbreaking.
I'm glad I recognized it and looked away in time, but even just hearing her is devastating. I understand why they wanted to include it because of the sound bite of "keeping these women together," but I hate that clip and I certainly hope they asked Rebecca if it was okay, or at least warned her ahead of time.WARNING— I forgot to mention that they (for no purpose I can agree with) decided to include the awful footage of Rebecca Bross’s devastating knee injury.

I agree about the sound bite, but sound bit could’ve been used without the visual. The other issue I have with them using that particular clip is...she has never come forward as a victim of nassar. I really hope that she wasn’t, but no matter if she wasn’t or was and does not want to come forward....that implies to a viewer (esp non gym communities) gives the impression that she is a survivor. And since Rebecca has not come forward I just don’t like that. It’s not fair to her.I'm glad I recognized it and looked away in time, but even just hearing her is devastating.

. I was happy they showcased the journalists so much, and I thought the detail about them not filming Maggie's parents at trials was quite telling. Whether or not she "should" have been on the team, it made it obvious that her performance that day didn't matter and they had decided in advance she wouldn't be going.
