And no major corporations will even consider endorsing her. She’s a true champion.

OMG! THIS! was with a GUN? [horror, gasp, pee my pants terror!]
Of course the ‘feeling’ thing to do would be to politely send these medals back and beg for forgiveness.

And an extremely strong a ability to concentrate. That means using the brain, for those that are unfamiliar with the sport, i.e. Democrat Idiots and Media Simpletons.

An NBC story noted that her medal record is arguably far less impressive than, say, a gymnast or a swimmer because shooting requires fewer physical attributes. Says who? Has that dipshit ever picked up a shotgun and tried to break a flying clay target?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
“so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Yup, and start hunting/shooting when you’re young, especially upland game birds. Good for the girls because women are on an even standing with men and as long as you can still carry your weapon, you don’t have to “hang it up.”

Ok. Fair point.
She belongs as much on a Wheaties box as any Gold Medal Olympian.

TR knew what he was talking about.
Big men see Great men, and are inspired to better themselves.
Small men see Great men, and are determined to tear them down.

Hate crime? Nah, can’t be. The victim is white. Can’t possibly be a hate crime.

This is just a rationalization for denying publicity to shooting sports. Yes, it’s harder to be a gymnast, but we also have beach volley ball and other junk sports that the MSM gives lots of attention to that don’t require the level skill needed to shoot skeet.
