And nothing that’s happened since it was taught that lesson has suggested he was wrong.
Not here, mind you.
I think I can say without fear of contradiction that Barstool has been largely supportive of this Olympian.
She’s been the People’s Champion as far as we’re concerned.
Zero-point-zero points would likely never be achieved again.
All future dancers would be struggling in vain to equal her score and find it impossible.
In the way generations chased Bob Beamon’s Long Jump record from Mexico City, 1968.
So it’s oddly comforting to know no one will ever take the stage again.
And the greatest moment in the short history of the sport can live for eternity.
And have continued to celebrate her elsewhere:
But the rest of the crabs?
The resentment for her international fame has only increased since the Closing Ceremonies.
The pressure to perform on the Olympic stage is immense, especially against the opponents in her particular group.
We stand in solidarity with Raygun.
As do I, AusBreak.org.
As do all right-thinking people.
I really appreciate the positivity and Im glad I was able to bring some joy into your life.
Thats what I hoped.
When I went out there I had fun.
I did take it very seriously.
I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics.
I gave my all, truly.
“A part of Breaking’s Olympic debut”?
Far be it for me to contradict the sport’s royalty, but Mrs.
Gun, you did much more than that.
You put the sport on the map.
You made it an integral part of the international conversation.
In ways no other competitor could.
Their fault, not yours.
So do not give in to the hate.
Never let the bastards drag you down.
You’re not some fad.
You’re not some Down Under version of Hawk Tuah Girl no one will remember six weeks from now.
You won’t just be some Halloween costume that’ll only work this year and then get thrown away.
Your legend will live on forever.
But that doesn’t mean you oughta fade away.
There is still much work to be done.
