Lindsey Vonn rips Donald Trump, says she'll be skiing for 'the people' at Olympics
2017-12-08
[CBSSports] Lindsey Vonn hopes to win more Olympic medals at February's Winter Games in Pyeongchang, but she said she won't be attending the White House to meet Donald Trump afterward if she's invited. Vonn, the most successful female alpine skier of all time and one of the stars of the U.S. contingent set to compete in South Korea, took aim at the president with pointed remarks in an interview with CNN.
Go figure.
“Well, I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president," Vonn told CNN. "I take the Olympics very seriously and what they mean and what they represent, what walking under our flag means in the opening ceremony. I want to represent our country well. I don't think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that.”
Click on the vid for the meat of the interview. Nice Red Bull stocking cap, who may be contacted HERE, if you would like to comment on the Loverly Ms. Vonn's interview.
The fit young lady clearly keeps her brains in her feet. Half of the Americans who are not President Trump that she wants to represent voted for him.

#12  Lindsey, you don't need to go out of your way for this person. Along with the NFL, I'll be sure to put you on my list of people/teams/Hollywood wierdos to boycott. FYVM.

#11  Break a leg, sweetheart.

But that's a wish for good luck, right? Vaudeville?

#10  What a communist thing for a little proletariat to say.

I believe "Useful Idiot" is the term that is used for asshats like her.

#7  From Forbes. Nov 30, 2017 - 20: Age Vonn – then known as Lindsey Kildow -- was when she was her first World Cup race in, you guessed it, Lake Louise in 2004. She has reached the podium there 25 times. 6: Sponsors: Under Armour, Head, Oakley, Vail Resorts, GoPro and Red Bull. 1: Clothing collection in her name.

She's come a long way from $4 "gifts" in Vail's back alleys. But not that far.

#6  Bonn is virtually guaranteeing that she will ski into a tree, just like her hero did in 2016.

#5  Killed her own marketability by 50% or so for no gain as nobody ever thinks of olympians competing on behalf of the head of state.

#4  Shut up and ski.

#3  But, but, but I have an agent whom I must pay, and photo shoots and adverts scheduled. This could ruin everything.

#2  She could ski without clothes sponsors.

#1  How about just skiing for yourself lady?
The country jacket is just your sponsor. You are building your brand. If some positive branding accrues to your sponsor or fans that is nice but the bottom line is it's about you. Think about that.
