Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn sparked a backlash when she said she will represent the United States at the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, in February, but not the president.
Vonn also said she would "absolutely not" accept an invitation to the White House if she were to win a gold medal.
On "Fox & Friends Weekend" this morning, fellow Olympic gold medalist Mike Eruzione said Vonn has the right to make her own decisions, but he disagrees and believes it's important to respect the presidency.

I see “BACKFIRE” written all over this.
I’m thinking she’s gonna regret it bigly.
There has been a lot today on her back injury on the heels of her stupidity...The Yahoo article had over 6000 posts to it, and every single one I looked at was poking at her...:)
Maybe the Olympics need to go into the dumpster along with the NFL
I thought Vonn injured her back earlier today?
Love the Miracle on Ice team.
They heralded the coming election of Ronald Reagan. Patriotism was back after the years of Carter misery.
Had something to do with Vonn shoving her foot in her mouth.
Wench just hurt her back. She won’t make it to the Olympics, or maybe she’ll go to save face but she’s done.
Back injuries are common for people with HUB-D (Head Up Butt Disease). Maybe she can bum some painkillers off her ex, Tiger.
Talking trash all week does have its downside. She setup bad karma for herself.
She shows a great lack of intelligence by how she chooses men to shack up with. Tiger is such a fine man.
The list of people publicly attacking the Prez but then promptly BLOWING UP is getting longer all the time.
“I see “BACKFIRE” written all over this.

Why is there any discussion? Just can the bitch.
She fell flat on her face today..karma well ya know
Way to crap the bed, idiot.
Isn’t that the truth. You’d think they’d wake up, the Trump curse seems to be real.
She obviously has quaffed deeply of the vile Obama/Hillary Koolaid.
Obama was respected. There left will never acknowledge it.
What a lot of these athletes don’t understand is that it doesn’t matter who the President is, you go out of respect for the office.
Several years ago, Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins refused to go to the White House when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. His reason was that he didn’t agree with Barack Obama or with Congress. I disagreed with him then, and I disagree with Vonn. Barack Obama didn’t know any more about hockey than Donald Trump knows about skiing.
