Skiing star Lindsey Vonn suffered a back injury during a World Cup super-G race in Switzerland Saturday, two days after she criticized President Donald Trump in an interview about next year's Winter Olympics.
Vonn crossed the finish line in obvious distress, almost one second behind the then-leader, and slumped to the snow. ....
Vonn stayed in the finish house to be treated, and one hour later limped slowly into a waiting car to be driven from the St. Moritz course. ....
Vonn tweeted that she had suffered an "acute facet (spinal joint) dysfunction"

2006 to 2010 was almost impossible to grow wealth in just about any market, yet alone 600% growth!
Haha. I want the video!!
Wish I could feel bad for her but I cant. Looks like she wont get the chance to snub a White House invitation after all.
Chode, I love your sense of humor. You should tweet it to Trump and see if he retweets your tweet. Would make the Sunday shows a lot more entertaining to watch.
Neither do I. NSA doesn’t need to track me.
Tinfoil hat off.
OK someone tweet Trump Chodes comment.
“get well soon...”
I will pray for her healing and soul as I do for so many others in this world.
Hoping for Vonn’s speedy recovery in mind and body would have worked.
Seriously, what did you expect?
LOL... nailed it!
prolly hurts more than the back, which may or may NOT be injured
Yup, gotta love karma.

Wow. Forgotten Amendments is apparently aptly named. He/She stands up for the First Amendment and gets beaten up over it? In case you may have forgotten, the 1st Amendment is there specifically to protect unpopular speech. Admittedly, it is a double-edged sword. Yes it sucks to hear idiot leftists spout off, but don’t you want the same opportunity to be heard? To paraphrase a quote often attributed to Voltaire, what she said was repulsive and disgusting but I still absolutely defend her right to say it. Maybe I’m naive, but I thought that’s what FR stood for. If I’m wrong, let me know. Trolls, flame away.
Her politics don’t bother me, but I question her focus and ability to represent the Country.
>> If Im wrong, let me know.
FA condemned the OP with no explanation.
How many more Trump haters is God gonna say “you’re fired” to by the end of the year? I’ve already lost count. With the addition of Al Franken and Lindsey Vonn, the unemployment line is now out the door.
The First Amendment is not a magic forcefield against consequences of free speech. Free speech is a two-way street. You have a right to say what you want. I have a right to respond to it if I so desire. We both bear the consequences of any reaction to our respective speech. It could possibly cost one or the both of us our jobs.
Note no one prevented this reporter from making his false report. Are you under the mistaken impression that he was?
Do you think calling for the ouster of political figures you don’t like violates their free speech, too? How is that any different from calling for a reporter making a false report to be fired? Does Trump have any authority over HR at the Washington Post? No, I think even you would admit that he does not.
You really don’t understand the First Amendment.
Back trouble? Call ex-squeeze Tiger.
Not as if anyone here is asking for her to be arrested or anything like that.
Actions have consequences and one must be accountable for their actions and inactions. Lindsey Vonn disrespected the president and the U.S., not just at home, but to the world. She can do all she wants personally but not on someone else’s dime or while representing the US.
