Shawn White brings it.

[fishwater99]

GOAT of halfpipe.

 

[Shamoan]

Glad he could finish it the right way. He had a really good perspective on last Olympic failure. As daddy saban always says, never waste a failure. I will be really impressed if he could somehow compete at 35 in the next one, but I think that is a tall order to say the least.

He brings it alight...which is why I stopped watching that POS.

Alright, I'll be the one to ask: Why is Shawn White a POS?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

This should be good.

 

[cowbell88]

That last run was a “hold my beer” moment. It was epic right up to the point he got caught up in moment, and started dragging Our Flag around.

I'm as right wing as they come, but I don't think he realized he was dragging the flag... he was toting his board, goggles, helmet and flag with a snowsuit on walking thru 8 inches of snow... once he got to medal stand, he wrapped flag around himself as good as he could..

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Why will it be good? All of you know why. I am going to go into detail here since it's not sports related but unless you've been under a rock you know why.

Como sé what?

 

[AlCoDog]

For those of us who “live under a rock,” a.k.a don’t read People or US Magazines, can we get a quick run down?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Well let me ask you this....you ready? Have you ever heard of something called GOOGLE? Look it up yourself. It shouldn't be too hard to find. But then again it might because it was swept under the rug for the most part.

nevermind... #wokecenter

Did he make get her to watch “2 girls 1 cup?” This amazing google tool Wizard told me about mentioned something regarding sexual acts and fecal matter.

Man you are an angry dude. You make the worst of everything.

One would think that if he is as terrible as you say, it would be difficult to determine what specifically you hate(since there is so much to choose from).

Technically, you're not supposed to wrap it around yourself either. But they all do.

Look A-hole, YOU brought it up so FINISH it or don't add a post like that to a thread again.....A-hole.

Interesting test for metoo

I've seen Twitter posts saying he shouldn't be allowed to compete... But if he hasn't been convicted of a crime, who else should be there to compete? He's earned the spot in our meritocracy.

They seem to judge the half-pipe very strictly. Guys are doing insane stunts at 60 mph and if they don't land them perfectly or don't hold the board exactly correct they get docked points. Got to be one of the most difficult sports out there to be that successful at. Shaun White is a 17ing god when he gets on a snowboard.

[h=1]Tarnished gold? Shaun White on defensive about sexual misconduct allegations, bad flag etiquette.[/h][h=2]The three-time snowboard halfpipe gold medalist was not too proud to beg for forgiveness[/h]

 

[FlotownDawg]

He’s in the process of getting #metoo’d. He settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by a female member is his band more than a year ago and for some reason this is now a big deal. The media’s favorite sport is to tear somebody down after they’ve built them up.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

In a lawsuit that Ms Zawaideh filed in August 2016, White was accused of sending “sexually explicit and graphic images to Ms Zawaideh of engorged and erect penises, forced her to watch sexually disturbing videos, including videos sexualising human faecal matter, and made vulgar sexual remarks to her”.

Agreed. I would not want to even try to be any sort of hero today. The media looks for any and every reason to tear you down AND THEN you have someone and everyone being offended by something you said or did until you are apologizing for being the best at what you do.

Give it enough time and we will all be a "POS" in one way or another.

Sooooo the fact that woman alleges he did this is prove positive he did? Someone as famous as him? Who could probably get any chick he wanted?

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Man you are an angry dude. You make the worst of everything.

I’m pretty sure at this point Wizard is a woman

 

[patdog]

It will soon get to the point where most people's reaction when these accusations are made is to shrug their shoulders and ignore it.

 

[mstateglfr]

Well i mean- there are text messages and pics. Sorta tough to deny some of it...

 

[patdog]

Sorta hard to confirm the context of it though. How to know when she decided she didn't want these texts/pics? Her original lawsuit only alleged breach of contract for not paying her monthly salary for being in the band and didn't mention anything about any sexual harassment.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Ok drama queen.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

whatever gender Wizard identifies as doesn't change the fact they are a poor representation of wizardry due to intentional obfuscation without porpoise.

You are the only Wizard on this board. The other poster of undetermined pronoun is just a lizard with a nasty lisp.

Oh for sure- totally agree.

As effectively her manager, itd be tough to complain about such behavior(come watch this 17ed up video!) and so I could easily see her feeling obligated to which is not acceptable.
At the same time- its a band and they were teens/early 20s...That doesnt excuse harassment, but it does explain some general behavior in life and complaining about it years later is pretty rough, even if it was inappropriate at the time.

The male brain takes until 25 to fully mature and the amount of **** that people do before 25 that is now easily documented is staggering to think of.

It is certainly a gossip.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Yep! Fine line between between “I love you Shaun White, I want to have your children” and “you sexually harassed me because you are interested in other girls”
