“Hey, guys, look at this silver medal Daddy bought me!”
Just a typical blue collar family fighting for the little guy.
Basically...i just watched the event.
Evidently she (Springsteen) had never competed in a world championship or Olympics before. Everyone else has been competing for 20/30 plus years- she’s 29YO.
Her slow time also cost the Americans the gold.
To be fair, most of these medals were purchased by the parents.
Your point is well taken. On the other hand, even though daddy’s money paid for the horses, lessons, etc., she still had to put in hours of focused effort to compete at the Olympic level. Many offspring in her position achieve absolutely nothing.
Welcome to the XXII Springsteen Games, where no others matter.
Her daddy, who is so understanding of the trials and tribulations regular working folks go through that he made gazillions singing about us. Yet he fought with the Monmouth Cty, NJ tax collector to have his mansion and the stable where he his little girl’s horsey was raised zoned as agricultural so he can catch a nice tax break. It would be interesting to find out if he hired “undocumented” immigrants to clean out the stable
