NCAA 2027 Commits

There's also a message about "my body is not valuable only in how it is displayed to others" that might be especially helpful for athletes coming from a judged sport, and I think it gets fully missed when "in a bathtub for your viewing pleasure" is the message pop culture chooses.

That message is advanced by Dunne with her ad. That’s my objection to her. I don’t care that she’s proud of her body and shows it off. I hate the message. It brings down the seriousness of women’s sports. Yeah men can do it and get away with it but there’s already enough against women that it’s another brick in the wall that puts womens gymnastics on the other side of being considered a real sport.

There are so many reasons why NCCA women's gymnastics struggles to be considered even a real sport by fans that we definitely don't need another one lol

(I kid, I kid... but 2-pass floor routines and a compulsory bar routine make it frustrating at times)
