The Trump Curse Strikes Lindsey Vonn

In fact, she probably won't be representing anybody.

She’s making shit up. She’ll compete in the Olympics and bask in the media lauding her bravery in the face of a debilitating injury.

I listen to the interview. The CNN infobabe’s questions were designed to get her to attack Trump.

She could have declined to take the bait, but the interviewer's agenda was to get anti Trump quotes.

For what it's worth, tthe USOC is a federally chartered nonprofit corporation and does not receive federal financial support (other than for select Paralympic military programs).

Even if it did, I would not want some Soviet-style loyalty oath or gag order on the athletes; such a rule that gags Ms Vonn would also prevent a poke in the eye by some Gold medalist on the next (Heaven-forbid) Obama.

I agree, self-censorship for an Olympic, non-wealthy athlete is prudent. Further, while I like a "shut up and play yer guitar" approach, it is hard to bemoan Springsteen's innate rantings when we have Uncle Ted in reserve.

I say: Let the free marketplace of ideas and thought flourish....but don't whine, Ms Vonn, when your open mouth leads to a Dixie Chicks-like backlash.

Sorry, no ping list... I am making these too infrequently these days... :)

Could it be that Vonn was so distracted by the resulting criticism of her recent remarks that she wound up injured. Even a slight distraction can ruin a performance.

Tiger Woods ruined his game with his womanizing & resulting divorce. Many others have had the same thing happen to them.

Thanks! That and her being chunked into the SUV like cord wood just never get old.
