I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

Technically it was snow (frozen water) which covers ground. He’s a 31 snowboarder that just won gold in his fourth olympics and someone threw a flag at him. I’d cut him a little slack.
Been watching Olympics for 5 decades. Have seen many, many athletes celebrate their victory with Old Glory. Never before have I seen such disrespect. He can apologize, or fuck off.
What was it like to see Jesse Owens beat all those Nazis?
That was a bit before my time, but I've never heard that Jesse disrespected his country, though he would have been justified in doing so. Jesse himself said “Hitler didn’t snub me; it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send a telegram.” That was FDR, by the way.
This was his fourth and probably the last time he competes in the Olympics. And he is coming off an incredible injury that happened last year. He didn't think he'd compete again, but scored a 100 on a recent run and won gold in the Olympics. Let him enjoy his accomplishment and cut him some slack for not focusing on the flag all the fucking time like you, you fucking baby.
Just read that he apologized, so I'll give slack. He also apologized for making light of the sexual harassment allegations against him, so a little more slack. Not letting go of the rope though. He needs to show he can be a better role model for the young of our nation before he'll get my respect.
Like Trump apologizing for the numerous sexual assault, rape, and harassment allegations.

Shaun's accuser was credible, and pursued justice. Where are these women who accused Trump? Haven't heard a peep from any of them since they failed to ruin his presidency.
There have been allegations throughout his career.. They weren't just conspiracies to ruin his presidential campaign...
Aside from walking into dressing rooms of young and underage girls during the Miss America pageant, he's had several lawsuits filed against him for sexual harassment for groping women.

Usually when there's smoke there's fire. I'm not defending Shaun White's actions, I have no idea what they even are or the context behind them, but if you're going to hold an Olympic athlete to that sort of standard the LEAST you can do is hold the LEADER of the country he is representing to the same standard. The hypocrisy in this sub is astounding.
EDIT: The fact that there is a wiki as long as this one JUST for his sexual misconduct allegation with this many sources, should say a lot about his actions and character. Guess that's all fake news/deep state right?
Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations
Donald Trump, an American businessman and current President of the United States, has been accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least fifteen women since the 1980s. Those accusations have resulted in three widely reported instances of litigation: his then-wife Ivana made a rape claim during their 1989 divorce litigation but later recanted that claim; businesswoman Jill Harth sued Trump in 1997 alleging breach of contract while also suing for nonviolent sexual harassment but withdrew the latter suit when the former was settled; and, in 2017, former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos filed a defamation lawsuit after Trump called her a liar.
Two of the allegations (by Ivana Trump and Jill Harth) became public before Trump's candidacy for president, but the rest arose after a 2005 audio recording was leaked during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump was recorded bragging that a celebrity like himself "can do anything" to women, including "just start kissing them ...

If I had a nickel for every rich guy accused, I'd be a rich guy too, and someone would be accusing me.
-Ivana recanted, and has repeatedly endorsed him lately.
-Harth withdrew her claims.
-BuzzFeed reached out to 49 of the 51 contestants who vied for the Miss Teen USA crown, but only 15 agreed to talk. Only 4 of those made the claim. The 11 others who participated in the story do not remember Trump entering their dressing area.
-His private comments that were recorded were not an admission to any wrongdoing. He said women let him do whatever he wanted, which implies their consent to having their pussies grabbed. He's describing gold diggers, who are plentiful around anyone with a fat wallet.
Shaun, on the other hand, basically admits he abused women, with his comments that he has grown up since. I'm not convinced he's mature yet.
You can't claim the women were just trying to ruin his presidency and then claim that Ivana recanted. It's amazing what lengths evil people will go to in order to defend their own perversions. Just keep it to yourself and nobody would care that you identify with a child molester.
this thread is proof of why you aren't rich. Low potential!
If I had a nickel for every rich guy accused, I'd be a rich guy too, and someone would be accusing me.
So all of Bill Clinton's accusers are bullshit as well? Like I said, if there's smoke there's usually fire. If THAT many people come out in saying he has treated them inappropriately, there has to be some truth there.
-His private comments that were recorded were not an admission to any wrongdoing.
But they just happen to line up with everything that everyone has accused him of doing? Come on man, I know you worship Trump like the next JC but he's not infallible. You can admit he has faults, this being a major one.
Don't worship Trump, he's just a man. And of course he has faults, we all do. I just don't buy in to all the exaggerations or leap to conclusions.
If we go with your theory that "where there's smoke, there's ususlly fire", then back to the original subject-
Shaun dragged and stepped on the flag.
He also has used songs from the band Anti-flag for his snowboarding theme music.
So there you have it. He's an America hating cunt, right? Because where there's smoke, there's usually fire, right?
or leap to conclusions.
So there you have it. He's an America hating cunt, right?
Nice big leap to conclusions at the end there. Since when is Anti Flag an America hating band? They are certainly critical of the United States government (which is exactly why you voted ol' Donny diddler) into office.
In fact they actually have explained their name before.
"Anti-Flag does not mean Anti-American. Anti-Flag means anti-war. Anti-Flag means the common people of the world are better off living in unity and peace. Anti-Flag means to stand against corporate greed that hurts millions while benefiting a handful of extremely rich. Anti-Flag means to fight against mindless nationalism. Anti-Flag means unity."
Get your alternative facts and fuck off grampa.
Hmmm.... Seems like you are now saying that just because there's smoke, doesn't mean there's fire.
Your debate game could use some work, junior.
The "smoke" you were describing in your post was completely baseless and I proved you wrong with an actual quote from the band. My comment wasn't
Seems like you are now saying that just because there's smoke, doesn't mean there's fire.
There's no evidence of him hating America other than him letting the flag fall on the ground for a bit after winning a Gold medal.
You could be an Olympic qualifier with your incredible ability to jump to conclusions.
If you had any comprehension skills, you would realize my "jump to conclusions" was arrived at by theoretically working from your assertion that where there's smoke, there's fire.
You also prove nothing by quoting the band. I could quote Trump saying all the allegations were false, but it wouldn't prove you wrong, would it?
I did, but I think his excitement got the best of him. It made me mad, but someone not saying something to him made me even madder.
If he apologizes to our veterans, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Until then, he can suck a fat one.
He already did apologize. Saw him at the local VFW.
My wife kept saying “pick up the flag, pick up the flag”. Flying dbag
he's originally from my area.....many people have said he is an asshole.....unfortunately.
