Men American Men's Gymnastics

That is most interesting. I particularly appreciate your use of bold text, it certainly brings clarity to a very complex issue. As anyone here will tell you, I am a huge fan of political discourse on a gymnastics message board.

However, appreciative as I am for this opportunity to educate myself, I’m not sure that I personally have any subconscious bias or micro aggressions at all. I don’t care about anyone’s race, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion or politics. I will bait the f*ck out of everyone

@MaryClare: it's not directed at you at all. I highlighted it because it's important to drive the point home. I'm very sure that you're a gymnast enthusiast. LOL.....She, the other lady, had micro aggressions and downright implications regarding race and I called her out. Russia may not have that issue that is visible as much but there is little doubt that it exists in American Gymnastics greatly. I liked Donnell because he struggled with consistency, doubt, lack of sponsorships, representation issues, and he's 31 and still competing and winning due to his perseverance.

That's why I challenged her to show me the post that she accused me of and now she's silent.

I will reply in full later today, some of us have careers and functional nuclear families we tend to during daytime hours. In the meantime I would suggest you reread my posts in order for us to have productive discourse.

Hmm. I think you should probably mention that other family types are just as valid, honoured and cherished Just so that there’s no further misunderstanding here.

I mean look at Sabrina Voinea. Her step father is out there, trolling her competitors on social media. Now that’s a guy who stepped up. Just because he isn’t her biological father doesn’t mean he isn’t just as much a father as Chris Skinner.
