    I must have missed the part where he was convicted of anything. Can you post a link to that?

    I think this part says it all: "Lena Zawaideh, who claimed the extreme sports star had “repeatedly sexually harassed her and forced his authoritarian management style on her for over seven years.” OMG. A rock band leader who is an authoritarian???? White must have mansplained her to death and it was so bad she stayed in his band for seven years.

    If she can prove he did anything involving touching her privates, then I'm good with the "sexual predator" label. Until that time he is an Olympian with a disgruntled band member who is pouting because she didn't get her way.

    “Many years ago, I exchanged texts with a friend who is now using them to craft a bogus lawsuit,” White said. “There is absolutely no coincidence to the timing of her claims, and we will defend them vigorously in court.”

    Then he reached a settlement with her.

    I mean if you read what she's claiming he did it's pretty sick. Yeah Shawn might have settled to shut her up but where there's smoke there's usually a fire. He ain't no Olympian in my book.

    Our ski jumpers did great in trainings at large hill but after the disaster that the tournament at normal hill was I won't get my hopes up. We should have got at least 1 medal, Hula deserved it if not for the stupid computer.

    Yes, we should consider him guilty until proven innocent, after all he is male.

    I hope you can experience the joy some day of attaching to a crazy person and you get to enjoy others damning you based on her ravings devoid of any proof.

    Canada vs. Czech Republic was a badass hockey game last night. Ended in a shootout with some amazing moves.

    I love the Winter Olympics. Just wish they'd show more coverage of different events during primetime, except Curling. Just don't buy it as an Olympic endeavor. Like Bowling, it's a beer league event. Love most of the sports though, especially the aerobatic ones ( on skies, or board). Not big on the slalom though. Favorites: Halfpipe, Snowcross, Ski Jumping, Aerials, and the sled events. Actually like Figure Skating but can't stand the judging. Not big on Hockey, and don't enjoy the Cross Country events as much, but admire the athletes, especially Biathalon . Dig how a person can be gassed, and still shoot with marksman precision.

    We should allow the German and Canada soccer teams to settle this. That would be fair.

    I enjoy all the winter Olympics events but I do not enjoy the crashes. Does this make me a pretty boy?

    As for skiing and shooting stuff, why not? This looks like great fun and I'll bet the Finns are good at it. I've got me a Finnish hunting rifle so I guess all I have to do now is learn how to ski cross country. How hard can that be?

    Curling is so funny that I can't contain my laughter. That's worth something right there.

    You need to install a curling rink in your backyard! I'll bring the beer.

    I noticed that too. I respect the flat a great deal and it bugged me when he dragged the flag around.

    So, you're convicting her of lying without hearing the details.

    I'm surprised no one came to help him so he could hold it properly.

    USA vs Canada for gold in women's hockey. These gals are good. Almost no parity in women's hockey, North America pretty much rules it. USA beat Finland 5-0 and Canada beat Russia 5-0 in semifinals to play for gold on Thursday.
