Sonny Bono's widow is now the head of USA Gymnastics. And apparently the official policy there is to praise America haters like Colin K.

I hope their funding dries up.

RINO Mary Bono said something RIGHT then rolled over when some punk spoke out. Weak kneed and frail Mary.

That should win her friends. Is there a loser factory somewhere I never heard of?

Their money comes from Nike. You don’t bite the hand that feeds.

I will never understand why republicans fold at the first whiff of criticism. Trump has given them the template on standing up for beliefs and policy.

“Except my own views” she said.

Mary Bono was always a libtard.
Not like her husband at all.

The majority of their funding comes from corporate donors who's marketing departments have decided there's more money to be had from blue households than red. After a brief bout of virtue signaling and burning Nike's people go back to their usual habits , there are no consequences to corporations that take political stances.

Until that changes these shenanigans will continue

For leftists, tolerance only goes one way.

That’s a lie or you would have never apologized.

I deeply regret posting the Tweet because I respect everyone’s views and their fundamental right to express them..

And yet here she is, allowing someone to guilt her into taking back a view she freely expressed. So what she is really saying is she supports the right of people to express ideas in line with the leftist agenda. But any alternative, opposing, or genuinely diverse views must be suppressed, walked-back, and apologized for...

Today's socialist/leftist/fascist only say they support diversity and freedom. The truth is quite the opposite.

Nike sucks. I wouldn’t wear that logo, even at gunpoint.

She'll win the Gold Medal for rhetorical contortions and back flips.

I respect everyone's fundamental right to express their views, but some views are moronic, and I do not respect those views. #ThugLivesMatter is a stupid position to take. "All Lives Matter" is the non-racist stance, and those lives that matter include the police who defend themselves against thugs and the innocent civilians whose lives are saved when thugs are deservedly shot down. The lives that matter also include the rare innocent people shot by police, but those cases are (as they ought to be) prosecuted.

Simone Biles is a pampered rich kid adopted by her grandmother. (Grandma owned 14 large businesses by herself and her husband, second one, worked for the feds.) So she is a lot like Colin in her history and has never learned how to handle tasks that most kids can. But she’s an adult now, and questioning the intelligence of the head of an American IOC section is like biting the hand that feeds you, stupidly. I guess she expects her notoriety to cover her back side.

She needs to stay in her sport and stop using her non-existent pulpit for a sounding board. She’s backing a problem horse while taking shots at the one she needs. She owes Bono an apology. She expects to have her opinion about someone accepted through her disrespecting someone else as a person. Attack the topic, not the person. I guess her color is more important than her expectation of allowing someone to have an opinion about the opinion of another US citizen. That’s not what America is. But it is exactly the problem we have: the attitude that I am okay with disrespecting you as a person when you air an opinion of someone that has harmed people. And Biles is not airing an opinion about the topic. She’s disrespecting the person claiming she lacks intelligence. That is not an opinion, it is an insult.
