I could care less to be honest. You mean to tell me that there are no alternates at all? Sounds like a dumb a$$ system. What the hell are you talking about with the football game comment. You obviously know nothing about football (see, I can play your game too).

Nope, not in the Olympic alpine events.

But back on topic, what was the need to even consider an alternate, as you are suggesting?

Stay on topic

Hottie seems to think that putting up good times is the same thing as being a great competitor. What it is is a talent that is managing with a FUNDAMENTAL STRUCTURAL DEFECT that will sooner or later, FAIL, no matter how 'dedicated' or 'tough' or 'giving 110%' that athlete may be.

She was a ticking time bomb of FAIL, and that's what happened. Team USA blew it by letting a famous athlete run their sport based on her ego and notoriety - without regard to the consequences.

There are alternates, but what good it is that now, when it's too late?

A selfish ego-driven athlete made others pay the price with her. Definitely not a role model for anyone.
