Figures... about two full pages of comments, and not a single person has read the interview with her.
The young lady is a world class athlete, has and does compete for the U.S. in the Olympics, and if you had read the interview, she shows a lot of class and a pretty damned good character.
In an age when little girls are being pushed to be stick-thin, unhealthy, inactive wimps and care about only what they look like, this young woman is a successful athlete and very open about her size and build.
Of course, no one here has a daughter that is anything other than a supermodel, or one that likes to compete in sports, so they certainly wouldn't need a role model of someone out there that might just be a bit more like "them" than Barbie. She knows exactly what she looks like and how she's built and is confident enough to pose for the Body Issue that will be seen all over the world. How many people casting aspersions at her would do the same?
Her words: "I'll be honest, I like everything about my body". I know damned few (if any) people who can honestly say that, and I can guaran-damn-tee I'd rather my daughter have this lady's attitude no matter what she looks like than to be trying to starve herself to some ridiculously thin size because she has to believe that skeletal is "sexy".
Given the self-absorbed, intellectually-vacuous creatures that parade themselves as women these days, I think I'd much rather hang out with a Olympic athlete that says if she wins a medal, she's going to go Stone Cold Steve Austin on the podium, chug a beer, and laugh at all the uptight [bleep] that then talk about the "trashy Americans".
Y'all say what you want, but I rather like the lass.
Wrong and, well, usual rubbish.
