Oh... you're being serious. You might have been thinking about the post, but its evident that you didn't put thought into this response, or thought into the statement I made. I basically said (and meant) I hate she cried, BUT given the situation and circumstance...who cares... But I guess you also haven't been keeping up with the Lochte, Phelps and Tom Daly sagas (did he cry last night? )...so I mean it is possible to have a dream you worked for your entire athletic career...life even...crushed and not boohoo on camera. Its happened.
And in response to your second rant. Gymnastics, like any sport, is about who hits when hitting matters. It doesn't matter that you feel Jordyn "worked so much harder than Aly" (btw were you there?)...what matters is Aly got out there and did what she needed to do when it matters (not to discredit Jordyn, but she did have 3 mistakes on 3 events and her performance simply wasn't enough). Aly didn't go and crush her friend or teammates dream. Aly like Jordyn, Gabby, McKayla and Kyla got out there and did was she was supposed to do to get her team into 1st place going into finals. Was she supposed to give a lackluster performance just because there was a chance (being that she was to compete on all 4 apparatus ) she might qualify for AA over Gabby or Jordyn...simply because nobody had pegged or considered her to be an AA contender?
I would use an anecdote from today's competition but I wouldn't want to spoil it...in the event someone has browsed this thread and is still blissfully unaware.
I hope this response doesn't come across as rude...because its totally not my intent and I know responses on the internet can often be perceived differently than the original intent.... I am just truly baffled at your statements.
