Are their any groups of Olympic athletes that aren't being abused on a massive scale in this country?

All it took was one kid to tell his Dad and a quick “accidental drowning” of the offender would have happened.

Not far away in homowood, sexual abuse of kids is considered an alternative lifestyle, particularly same sex abuse of boys; the perps march in pride parades. .

I know the world is full of evil people who let their ‘wieners’ (and Satan) rule their lives...
But I wonder how much of this is just #MeToo-ism, “Virtue Signaling” trying to join in on a trendy meme, rather than actually such a widespread problem

I personally know an Olympic hopeful that was impregnated by her coach when she was 17. She gave the baby up for adoption and is struggling with trying to right her life now. She is currently 21 .

In the new era of sexual abuse, what was acceptable then in terms of physical therapy and why wasn't it considered abuse?
Maybe it's the new culture of wanting to be a victim of something...........

We did not know that former Speaker of the Peoples House Dennis Hastert also was in California doing his thing with Greg Louganis. /sarc

Probably, if only because there are some sports that don’t have high-powered, high-reward youth branches. Also, it seems possible that team sports would be less susceptible to this than individual sports, because of the young people’s being coached in groups.

This has to be hard on parents to let their kids follow their athletic dreams, but to be sodomized and raped in the process.
Outside of a parent being present virtually throughout, even to the point where they’d likely be denounced for hovering, it’s difficult to know the answer.
No wonder there are so many homos in the Olympics these days.

Do you think they didn’t know? They had the prospect of Olympic Gold dangled in front of them, the parents would just wink. and let it go.

Olympic gold is for the relatively few; potential college scholarships that save thousands for the average family with a proficient swimmer can save thousands of dollars. Good reason to look the other way.

Curling! Where even the women have big stones.

That has to be the most dis-heartening, shallow, immoral post of the day.

It may be disheartening, but it is. Just being cynically realistic. $40,000 per year can buy a lot of blindness.
