#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.

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

#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.

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

#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.

#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.

#11 Break a leg, sweetheart.

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

#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.
