Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn sparked a backlash when she said she will represent the United States at the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, in February, but not the president.
Vonn also said she would "absolutely not" accept an invitation to the White House if she were to win a gold medal.
On "Fox & Friends Weekend" this morning, fellow Olympic gold medalist Mike Eruzione said Vonn has the right to make her own decisions, but he disagrees and believes it's important to respect the presidency.

“she would “absolutely not” accept an invitation to the White House if she were to win a gold medal.”........
Nothing to worry about that, she’s STILL a loser!
If she can’t keep her trap shut she better start watching out for Tonya Harding...
Lindsey Vonn is a skier who dresses up like a tart at every opportunity then demands to be viewed as a skier.
She can get stuffed.
The only reason people care about the Olympics at all is because of the BS nationalistic marketing. But these athletes do not really represent their countries. At best, they represent their country’s Olympic organizing committee, which is a for-profit operation that has nothing to do with the government or any other national structure.
So they pretend to represent us, and we shower them with attention and affection. But they have nothing to do with us. They are as far removed from the American People as they can get. They may or may not love the country. All that matters is that they can ski fast, or whatever.
The flags, the anthems, the teary eye, are all just marketing. They care about their professional careers, their endorsement deals... the money.
So why should we care? Why should we watch? They are just manipulating our emotions for profit. The sooner we are rid of them, the better.
I worked with Olympians for over thirty years. I don't see anything good coming out of it, especially with all sports having world championship type events and constant international competition. We have massive duplication of contests, each with their own name on the medals and trophies. What's the point?
The Olympic Committee oversees many national governing bodies, taking a share of the purse all the way, when each sport has already proved it is able to run its own competitions. The construction costs for an Olympic village and competition arenas could feed the poor for many years - isn't that what liberals want, anyway?
It's time to end the games, their expense, the sports announcers and newsfeed stardom, the corrupt judging, etc..
I wood.
Meh. I was surprised to look up and find that she’s 5’10” because she looks like a little fireplug. Combined with that goofy face (never mind her obnoxious political expectorations) and you have a package that just don’t appeal. YMMV
To be fair, anybody would look like a fire hydrant in that dress.
Yup
She seems to have a weakness for dark meat...
:)
But it did give the nation enough of a message to ensure the November election result wasn't even close.
I can't get over the fact that even Massachusetts and New York voted for Reagan. Twice!
Okay jackwagon....now I won’t be able to sleep until I watch that movie!
We needed that one bad.
People who barely knew what hockey was were talking about it.
Mike E and the team came through big time.
Karma.
