2022 World Gymnastics Championships Event Finals Day 2 (Sunday 11/06)

[J175]

You wouldn’t like the BBC commentary then.

 

[MaryClare]

I really don’t understand the hate for Brody? Other than expressing a mainstream political view, has he done anything “wrong”?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I don’t think so. I don’t agree with everything Jonathan Horton has ever said on social media, but I’m still okay with him.

 

[lovegymnasts]

I was wondering that myself but I don’t follow the men.

 

[MaryClare]

Yes the BBC really love Brody. Christine called him a untypical American

 

[irichluck21]

Wouldn’t it be ironic that everyone assumed that Nedoroscik was the best chance for gold by the American men and Malone ends up with gold.

 

[Hatsumomo]

A mainstream political view that supports stripping the rights of most of USA’s citizens and has stoked the fires of violent racism, misogyny, Islamophobia, and anti-semitism. There are reasons why Tuesday’s state elections are so important.

 

[MaryClare]

Perhaps. But obviously supported by millions of Americans. Including presumably some of the Americans on this board.
That’s why I don’t understand the hate directed at Brody specifically

 

[MaryClare]

Craig has just said “we love Brody”

 

[Passion]

Brody Malone and Jon Horton have the same political beliefs.

But there is a large difference between just voting Republican and keeping it separate from the rest of your life VS being so aggressively MAGA you’re creating strife with your teammates because you bought every piece of Trump merchandise to shove down everyone’s throat.

 

[tempest]

am I forgetting someone but no falls in the final?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

That’s true.

 

[tempest]

Brody Malone, gold medalist

 

[Hatsumomo]

And It literally being your picture on your Wikipedia page vs. a picture at a competition for the thing being the reason you have a Wiki page in the first place.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Nope, no falls. I’m shocked because I was terrified of this final.

 

[irichluck21]

[No message]

 

[MaryClare]

That’s possibly a reason for his team mates to dislike him, yet they don’t appear to.

 

[QuietColours]

Aside from a couple of beam falls, that was five sets of pretty good finals!

 

[Passion]

Shrug. I do.

 

[MaryClare]

I love Brody’s accent
