Parents of recreation gymnast needed to be educated about “spotting“, of course.
Thank you Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center for creating this video for adults & kids. @CenterSinatra pic.twitter.com/BeVC21StzS— Alexandra Raisman (@Aly_Raisman) April 8, 2024
The sheer amount of people saying that Aly Raisman is using Chris Evans for clout is disgusting. This woman did not go to the Olympics TWICE at ages 18 and 22, win 6 medals, write a book about her incredibly successful career, stand up to her sexual abuser in court, go AGAINST and SUE the company she represented for years because they covered up the abuse, become a literal feminist icon, and inspire millions of girls around the world, just for you to say she needs someone like Chris Evans to get her clout. Disgusting.
Can I request the fandom people to please not go thoroughly scrolling through Alexandra Raisman's social media profiles with their detective dissection glasses and find some so-called "problematic" thing she may or may not have posted 5+ years ago to start & falsely justify badmouthing, judging, constantly stalking and body-shaming her ?
She is an amazing, kind woman. An athelete. Gold medalist. A gymnastics world champion. Two-time Olympian who was the captain of her team. An author who wrote this beautiful book, 'FIERCE'.
Have you ever heard that old quote? “Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it's someone else's witch being hunted.”
STOP FORCIBLY LOOKING AND SEARCHING FOR REASONS TO DISLIKE SOMEONE.
So I have some issues with this video (certain women they have in it, women they don’t have in it, classism, endorsing top down and big man/woman thoery of history, etc), but I do love this inclusion of Aly Raisman speaking at the Larry Nassar trial.
Since our fandoms are so interconnected and I feel pretty strongly about her as a person: just because Alexandra Raisman is a CERTIFIED BADASS and very capable of handing idiots commenting on her social media certainly doesn’t mean that she should HAVE TO handle it. So please.....don’t do it.
