Philip DeFranco hi 👋 how’s your day been?
Philip DeFranco mmm my daily philly D -steak
THANKSSS
Philip DeFranco Awesome, thank you 😊
Is blac chyna related to orange Indonesya?
You know what, It's actually important for people like Elizabeth to pull these stunts. It let's you see where your programs need work.
that's why in FRC if a team makes a bot that exploytes a loop hole in the rules they automatically win the season
AND LETS JUST JUMP INTO IT.
Directionally Challenged That’s kinda my opinion. It was a mostly harmless stunt and it exposed a loophole in the system.
Directionally Challenged that's actually an argument that I didn't think about before. Good point.
It's the same concept as IT companies paying people to search for bugs and exploits, you need to know the faults in your systems to actually combat and fix them. I don't know how much Elizabeth's exploitation was meant for her own personal gain, but either way it was actually good that it was done this way, now they'll actually change things.
I was listening without headphones......they came by
marco marquez
act natural
I was listening WITH headphones and they STILL came by.
RIP
"He's a career politician. Who knows where he lies?"
It's everywhere, Phil. He lies everywhere.
it is literally in his job description to lie.
I'm from Massachusetts, and let me tell you, Mitt Romney is the most inconsistent, wishy-washy politician. He was our pro-choice, pro-gay marriage governor and then completely changed his tune when he ran for President. Also he is definitely a robot.
Cindy O'Neil LMAO THIS COMMENT IS BEAUTIFUL
I’m sorry Phil but Jackfilms has messed with the way I hear “let’s just jump into it”. It will never sound the same again. 😢
L E T S J U S T J U M P I N T O I T
Agreed
Travis Desjardins 😂
I loved that video but feel Jack missed an opportunity to use his name, Jack, as a verb pun
Travis Desjardins yo that's finna woke
That first story is truely brilliant!!! Her mindset and dedication to get there is what makes this fantastic! It would've cost her and loved ones a small fortune to attend all of those previous competitions allowing her to qualify. Whilst I feel sad for anyone attempting to get into the Olympics who have missed out by this... I still admired her dedication to her dream.
I have always dreamt about Philip talking about my country... not what I expected, but it finally happened today! Yaay for Hungary
If I learned anything these past few years, it's that you can become anything no matter how incompetent
well rather than 'incompetent' its even if you aren't 'talented'. It takes competence to play the system like that, its a special mixture of effort and observation.
"If ya smear enough grease on anything it'll eventually slide one way or another."
- Greasy Steve
Olympian, Actor, Musician, Singer, President... The list goes on.
Trump is proof of that.
She is the only one in half pipe that did it that way, but not the only athlete over all. Many ion cross country did it as well as some in bob sleigh.
Ever since jacksfilms I can't hear "let's just jump into it" the same
Grizzly Garage Letz juss jump right intooit!
That’s finna woke
SUuhp ya beautiful basterds!
Same
I was just thinking that!
I never noticed it before, but it kills me now lol
Thank you for always standing up for the victim!!!
These are always my favorite type of Olympic stories. Good luck to all the blaggers and chancers out there! You are my hero's xx
She finessed the hell out of the Olympics. I don’t know whether to be proud of her,angry or impressed.
Camilla B same , I’m so confused 😂😂😂
All......do it all
I'm all of the above, impressed that this actually worked, proud for going through with it, but kinda angry cause most athletes at the Olympics literally trade their life, future, education etc to be there so it is not very respectful. Although the latter is more an issue of the system, not hers.
It's like going to University just to get drunk at college parties and flunk out at the end of the year
I'm all 3.
I'm not mad that she made it to the olympics through a loophole what got me concerned is that she got selected and didnt think "Hey maybe I should learn at least one trick to do in the olympics"
When you described the situation with Elizabeth Swaney I thought of Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican Bob sleight team in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Before judging her or any other athlete in the same situation think about this quote from Pierre de Coubertin the founder of the Olympic Committee: " The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part; the important thing in Life is not triumph, but the struggle; the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
Exactly what I thought, and is why I give the girl as much respect as I do Eddie, follow the dream and remind people what the olympics is actually supposed to be about, taking part and unity, not just winning and elitism.
Sebastian Hellsing I agree with this so much.
I'm sure her donators appreciated her "struggle" if you can even call it that.
I partially agree with this statement. I feel the spirit of the Olympics is to compete, to struggle, to try, and I believe in your examples those people did struggle, they did try their hardest. I do not believe Elizabeth struggled or tried her hardest, I believe she worked a loophole in the system and has done damage to people like Eddie how maybe not be that good but try their hardest.
"the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well"
She fought well cheating her way in, that's all.
Phil this video was absolutely ON FIRE TODAY, the flow, and the ideas presented, and the passions here... absolutely brilliant! Please stay in your beautiful vortex & continue to present these beautiful motions to the world!
That is god level scheming, Elizabeth. Well done 😂😂😂
I agree that we need guns to protect us but phones can't kill
Jack Hileman wrong comment bro, check again
Jack Hileman dude... What?
AND LETS JUST JUMP INTO IT.
don't think she is only one. There are atheletes who switched cuz their home country is too competitive, or some just really want to walking in the ceremony parade. maybe the just want special samsung Note 8 that's handing out to atheletes.
I think Elizabeth Swaney's story is funny. She worked hard- just in a different way. And it isn't actually hurting anyone.
Ghoul
Oh no, poor country 😭😭😭
Guy Lloyd 😂😂😂
Brynley Louise yup, so agree
Theres already a movie about her case. Eddy the Eagle
Brynley Louise She is occupying the place of another athlete who actually deserve to be there.
I've been watching Philip DeFranco since 2006 and I wish this man had more subscribers. He's one of the original CZcamsrs that has found a way to do something he's so passionate about and he's been finding a way to stay on the internet for the longest time. Does it bother anyone else that a man isn't up in the 10s of millions of subscribers? I just hope he never leaves.
As Kanye once said
“Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax. Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax.”
Culture Vulture if he doesn't pay no tax that means he pays tax right?
"She's got a big booty, so I call her big booty"-2chainz
as he was told by Reid- who gleefully now admts he lied
Can we PLEASE get a "But let's just jump into it " shirt?? I'd buy it!
Here's a recipe for glass of water:
1 glass
I forgot the rest so here's another copy paste meme:
Don't know if you read this Phil but you have to retract what you said about Logan. I just watched 'Matty Love 2 debunks' which proved Logan faked the suicide with an actor. You were wrong! And I want to help!!
Dean Pritchard lol got me
Dalek Bricks same!
Who the hell is black China.
Questchaun I envy your lack of knowledge in this case
Sounds like Joanie Laurer coming back from the dead
She is horrific!
Questchaun the name of what sounds like a badass cartoon on adult swim
It's Blac Chyna.
The Elizabeth Swaney story is awesome. She used the rules to her advantage, worked for it, followed her dream and it didn't hurt anybody. I don't know, made me smile anyways. It was fair play and the rules will probably change after this, but it worked!
I seriously wish you had an ACTUAL live TV station because your channel is more honest and has a bigger array of information than news station.
Elizabeth just trolled the Olympics. That's badass...
You need to look up Eddie the eagle! He is amaz8ng and made it to the olympics with the odds against him. A feel good story.
It was probably so bad to watch, but mad respect for doing it XD
It weird that I see ur comments alot
Trolled? More like cheated the faulty system. But of course anything gets you praise these days.
When the banks trolled the american people and gamed the system, we all were rightfully angry because they essentially stole money meant for the people. The only thing different in this case is she did it to fewer, more niche people.
Well don't mind me... *scurries away to see what obscure sport with a weird rule book I can weasel my way into.* I just want one of those fancy RL opening ceremonies outfits. Wish me luck.
Thumbs up Phillip. Literally almost double the subscribers than Stephen Colbert. You are the man. Keep up the great work. Remember your roots, and don't forget.
Glad we now have footage of Phil saying the phrase "Black China" What a great year and what a great name.
Elizabeth Swaney trolled the Olympics. I ain't even mad, that's fucking hilarious.
she's my new favorite person
Y’all need to look up Eddie the eagle. He did a similar thing with the odds against him, except he did the most scary event, those crazy jumps.
Pennsylvanian here. Just wanna say I'm totally in favor of the new changes to districts. Although I am registered Republican, me, my friends, and hell most of the people I talked to knew our old system of districts was complete shit. I'm glad to see this change because it feels like it gives many here in PA a fair representation.
The Mild Javert though they should not do it like they did to Illinois, where Chicago was split into a billion districts for democrats.
Those little blue dots of cities could cause the Republican downfall
PA Independent that leans Democrat here. I agree. It would have been nice if the legislative branch could have come to a reasonable conclusion without the state supreme court having to do it, but since they couldn't, at least it is now more representative of the population.
I love the Olympics story. After all the stories of people abusing the system it feels like a relief when something like this happens and all it really accomplishes is fulfilling a dream and makes us all laugh. No harm No foul on this one.
As a Hungarian, I think Elizabeth's story is fantastic.
Just looked up 'gerry mandering' in The Dictionary, there's a map of Pennsylvania with the word "this" underneath.
Even the dictionary doesn't know how to define it.
So happy I was wearing earbuds...
TheHANburgler sucks I wasn't
Lol
👊
Dont scare me like that
I didn't I live alone 😏
Today I just, jumped into it, and i'm never looking back!
Elizabeth didn't prevent anyone else from competing by playing the system! She just filled an empty slot in a team! And exposed a glaring flaw in the rules. Good on her!
"The fuck was that?" Made me laugh harder than the moan did. xD
100% agreed! That was a great fake reaction.
I was not wearing headphones... guess how that turned out.
YanHuang Game I didn’t understand that joke....
YanHuang Game What?
Lmao 8:01 watch the video you buttnuggets
He’s talking about the moaning sounds around 8:07
Have you people seen the video?
I’m at university listening without headphones! Thanks Phil!
I am genuinely surprised about the legislation. I mean holy shit I did not expect something like that from the President.
As a snow sports enthusiast, I'm not thrilled with Swaney's story. Good for her for pursuing her dream, but the system should NEVER have allowed her to compete. It's an embarrassment to the sport and to all the other athletes who couldn't compete because the level of competition is so far beyond just riding the half pipe. I'm even skeptical of her statement that she "trained for years" to reach this point in her career because anyone with half-decent coordination could have done more than she did with just one year of real training. For someone who truly cares about the sport, it's frustrating to hear the commentators patronize her run down the pipe while there are SO MANY other deserving athletes who actually train that were not allowed to be there. I see this as a major fault of the organization and only sheds negative light on the level of intensity in this sport from those who do not follow it closely.
Merritt McKinney don't hate the player, hate the game
get over it. stop taking everything so serious
esosj.....calm down
Idk wether the first woman is a genius or I should be mad 😂 She played it WELL!! Hahahaha
Just bought two shirts and a pillow. Love what you are doing Phily D!
There were probably thousands of other people who could’ve made their dreams come true and make their country proud.
The funniest comment I saw was “no wonder Rob was depressed” 😂😂
If there was an Olympic medal for just barely slacking your way through, Elizabeth deserves first place.
Elizabeth story reminds of that Eddie the Eagle guy from Britain ( true story) in the 1988 olympics. Eddie was ranked last in his event ski jumping he " Played " the same system. This just shows you that no matter what your dream is. If there is a will there's a way. Truly inspirational.
So much meaning packed into "He's a pro politician, who knows where he lies."
I would barely even called that a loophole, Swaney just played smart. If she had somehow screwed over someone more talented by cheating the system I would say... hey man that's not cool. But she just did the damn thing. And she was 100% straight with everyone with what she was doing and what her intentions her. More power to her.
Elizabeth Swaney can tell her grandchildren that she gamed the Olympic rules instead of competing in the Olympics.
dpe4 much better story imo
That Congressional map is exactly what the entire country needs. Proper and equal representation.
Anyone saying it's the Judicial branch showing too much power needs a review of the Checks and Balances system.
The second you said "gerrymandering" I was like "OH, is it about me? YES IT IS!" My district changed..
I feel like Mitt Romney here is just being polite. He's not saying, "I accept your endorsement." I feel like that response was more,"...K. Thx but these people elect me not you." I feel like that was the best way for him to not lose Trump supporters and keep "Never Trump-ers" in the same breath.
MegaNerd42 I truly think you hit the nail on the head.
Nah, he’s just a pancake that’ll flip on a whim
I agree. Romney will accept Trumps endorsement but he probably won’t return the favor next presidential cycle.
"He is a career politician. Who knows where he lies?"
I do. He lies here. He lies there. He lies everywhere.
Solid wordplay
10/10 burn.
Yeah mitt Romney is just a sheep
Slave: please, leave me alone!
Slave master: Don't hate the player hate the game (punches the slave).
That's why that phrase is stupid.
erzan And that's exactly the reason why people knew there was something wrong with the laws and system, which is why it's necessary for these things to happen in order for change to occur.
I went to a Trump rally on 4/20 my senior year... and I remember Trump saying he was against gerrymandering. 100%
I love your videos, Phil! You breakdown and explain the news in a way that makes it easier to understand the various components of each story.
I didn't mean it like that, J. Sometimes, I get overwhelmed with news/media that it's hard for me to follow along and keep up with everything. Phil's coverage of stories helps me keep track of the news without feeling overwhelmed. That's all I meant.
I agree with Jentrix, certainly because i'm Dutch, so my English isn't the best and when it gets broken down like this, it is easier to understand. This however, has nothing to do with my opinion on a topic.
J Colton Why are you so worked up about my comment and reply to the point where you feel the need to attack? Judging from the playlists saved on your channel about Carl Jung and the Lion King, GTA5, a Jordan Peterson video, a running instructional video, and a crossbow video, I’m going to assume that you’re a high schooler who just found out he’s an “intellectual.” And rather than letting others be, you feel the urge to lash-out and bring others down when in actuality, you have unresolved anger issues.
I just want you to know that we are all here for you. I am here for you. You do t have to hide anymore, my son. Take my hand and we can walk through the darkness together.
Veteran - Pro gun, I think restriction on bump stock is reasonable. We're not supposed to have automatic rifles, and while this doesn't make it an automatic, if used with skill it sure can be. I don't think a gun ban is reasonable at all, but this decision is for me.
I disagree. Automatic rifles are a go-to weapon for resisting a potentially tyrannical government. Handguns seem to, statistically speaking, do the most damage according to the FBI. But a rifle might be a better choice for a discriminatory, ruthless, and controlling government. Just look at North Korea.
As someone else pointed out, more people die to fireworks than bumpstocks. NOBODY should be in favor of such frivilous and worthless laws.
George Kaftan except we would stand a chance. They cant use jets and tanks and drones against us, collateral damage would be too high and the rebellion would boom. Even if half of us took up arms 165 million armed people, that would be the largest fighting force on earth
+George Kaftan
You're right, we wouldn't stand a chance with bumpstocks. We'd use proper fully automatic weapons. Bump stocks serve no legitimate combat purpose, hence why militaries do not use them. They're a cosmetic item. They're a toy that hasn't hurt anyone. Just because ONE dude had a gun with a bumpstock on it doesn't change anything. He would have had the same number of victims without the bumpstock, as seen by literally every other mass shooter.
No you can't give a inch. There banning something that i can replicate with my belt loop. Its very well worth it to have a belt fed full auto gun if you can afford it.
A lady lived her dream. She tried and she gone done it. Respect.
This happens in the horse show world all of the time. They take top flight horses, put a mediocre rider on it, then tank 4H level local shows for points to qualify for bigger shows.
When you put happy stuff first, I'm always a little hopeful that the rest of the stories do not bring my mood down lol
leaked video "blows up"
Was That A Pun .
It *sucks* that there might be a *gag* order for the video. These were also puns.
going viral is also a pun in this case.
Here's a recipe for glass of water:
1 glass
I forgot the rest so here's another copy paste meme:
Don't know if you read this Phil but you have to retract what you said about Logan. I just watched 'Matty Love 2 debunks' which proved Logan faked the suicide with an actor. You were wrong! And I want to help!!
Well, you just got *Phil’D* in
eli m. Ordis needs to fix that..
I always use my headphones with Philip because you never know where words/sounds are going to go with him 😂
Simply amazing 1st story. She is every lawyer favorite defendant.
With the Swaney story, fair play to her for doing it, you can't blame her but at the same time I think (especially when it comes to sports) there should be a level of respect and fairness. The point of the olympics is to show off the top athletes in the world doing what they do best and not someone who just cheesed their way into it
I'm thinking he's still anti-Trump, he was just saying thank you for the compliment. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you can't be cordial.
Mr DeFranco, I'm pretty far right and happened upon your channel today. I've got to say, you are probably the most fair and balanced commentator I've heard in a long time. Keep up the good work.
Your response to that woman getting into the olympics through a loophole (which meant someone who actually was very talented and worked very hard to get their didn't get in) was: "don't hate the player, hate the game... Elizabeth didn't create the rules" 2:50 and then you saluted her.
But then your response to the Blac Chyna story was: "just because you do something that makes it possible for someone to do something horrible to you doesn't make it ok". 4:36
yea... so? What's your point? I never said otherwise.
The sex noises were priceless 😂
George Shiepe I was sitting next to my parents when that went off
Bailey, well, that must be awkward
Joseph Wolfson yeah just had to show them what it was but at first they looked pissed
The first time I watch a video without earphones in months lol
George Shiepe my mom was right next to me when that happened
And my phone was at full volume 😢
The moan killed me
Keenan Smith i blew a damn booger out
Thank God I have headphones
Keenan Smith Uncomfortaaaablllle.
Keenan Smith read this while that exact moment happened
I mean, gerrymandering is a damn sexual issue, I'd understand it... said noone ever.
I always listen without headphones and I’m glad I put them on today😂
Super glad to hear someone is finally cracking down on gerrymandering. Sure, sure, play the rules, but that only works if the rules are set and enforced the same way every time. Gerrymandering is basically Calvinball.
I lost it when you talked about gerrymandering haha love you Phil
I'd have much more respect for Elizabeth if she had tried to do tricks and failed spectacularly.
Same ^^; I'd have liked to have seen her actually try to do something...
Agreed
Mishka Rae • Girl Gamer at least it would've been something like "Olympian has accident during trick" instead of "Olympian doesn't even try"
Sorry, but I'm pretty sure she didn't get into the Olympics to impress you, or anyone for that matter. She wanted to be in the Olympics, so she got herself into the Olympics. Life dream accomplished.
but she did do tricks, she tricked the system
Feels pretty cool to have Phil talking about my state and showing my state.. 😱
Elizabeth Swaney is awesome. She achieved her dream through sheer force of will! If anyone complains that there are other more talented people who should've been there, they just didn't exhaust as many options as Elizabeth did. Good for her.
Elizabeth saw a bug and exploited it. Have a problem? Blame the bug.
Hellion Shark Yes, let's congratulate her for being the least skilled/competent Olympic competitor ever. 😂😂😂
LykeLyqwid It's an achievement on its own, is it not? :D
Hellion Shark Hahaha, maybe. But I think there are some things that just aren't worth bragging about 😂
Glitching one's way into the Olympics being one of them.
So, with Americans, We do need to fill the loopholes.
*Don't attempt to swallow the skies, it may cause death.
Hellion Shark preach
Isn't Mitt a known flip-flopper anyway? I seem to recall back in his bid to become President it was pointed out that he catered his views to please his base and went back on pervious things he had said...am I wrong?
"seriously, if someone is not using headphones someone is going to come by" XD one of the best subtle jokes I have ever heard of. Genius. XD
Nice Guys finish last, and Elizabeth Swaney You're one hell of a guy !!! BRAVO !!!!
Thank gosh I was wearing headphones 😂😂
Edwardo Marquez I'm glad I read this during "Today in Awesome"
“Wow” - Owen Wilson
Olympic qualification is not restricted in Hungary because as part of the eastern block the country had to boycott the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and people and especially athletes were so depressed by this that after the regime change it was decided, that things like that can never happen again, everybody who qualifies gets to go. Guess that might change now.
She's not the first and won't be the last Olympian who has no business being an Olympian. Good for her for making a dream come true.
Damn it Phil I was helping my dad look for birthday messages for my mom when the sex noises came up, the one time i dont use headphones lol.
Elizabeth Swaney isn't the hero the US needs, but she is the hero the US deserves...
Honestly she is truly brilliant though.
Eva McDermott yes untalented people and take advantage from other people mistake
Trump's US deserves her.
So she's batwoman?
Hempev funny you say that, its also because of the mentality of people like her that caused people to vote for trump
XRated 67 I hope you're a troll. Otherwise you are getting way too worked up over a funny situation. Chill out kiddo
i dunno if i will buy the shirt but the "why be informed" statement is one of my absolute favorite things you have ever said!
With the moaning then the "wtf was that" i almost cracked up in class!
That feelings t-shirt will go great against the idiots who believed the Black Panther assaults from yesterday.
14:10 "Who knows where he lies?"
*Everywhere*. You just said he's a career politician. They lie everywhere.
Getting to the olympics that way.... Genius!
When the moan sound happened and he just looked about confused, that was too funny. Top class.
I am a Republican in PA, the previous map was AFU and should never have happened. The new map is better, but "seems" to favor the Dems. It IS a step in the right direction, but far from the best it can be.
44WCF 1892 The last map "actually" favored Republicans, so there's that.
I know it favored Reps, very much favored, which is one reason I disliked it, as a Rep. The other is about 5 miles east, west and north of me is/was a different district. School Districts were split into 2 or more districts, towns were split and more. A near perfect definition of gerrymandering.
It is much better, but only time, and an election or two, will tell how much better.
I appreciate you, and people like you; people that can be fair in the face of being favored. I'm an independent from PA, so I'm purely angry due to the unfairness of it all, not the political party it skewed favor towards.
It was definitely fucked. But, I will give them points for not only passing it, but keeping it that way for as long as they did. Like Phil said, they played the rules HARD.
Generally pro-gun here and I've always wondered how bump stocks remained legal. It's literally designed to circumvent the law by making a legal weapon act like an "illegal" weapon (technically you can own fully-automatic weapons, but it is MUCH more expensive and strictly regulated). While I'm sure there are plenty of responsible gun owners who think bump stocks are fun, I don't think anybody is going to put up much of a fight on this one. It effects barely a percentage of gun owners.
Doesn't matter either way, you don't even need a Bump Stock to make a gun shoot faster.
I literally don't know how to respond to that. "you don't even need a Bump Stock to make a gun shoot faster." Faster than what? You aren't going to pull the trigger faster than a bump stock bounces. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but you either have little to no experience with guns or you're trolling.
...How is it that Elizabeth Swaney is a hero? Played the system? Hustle hard? She went down the half pipe at the slowed pace that wasn't crawling against people who trained relentlessly in competition with themselves and their peers. She's out of Oakland, but represented Hungary 😅
Lazysav american hero statement was a joke. The hustle part was true. She did the work. She played the game just not the sport
She is a perfect BSer
I respect her beating the system but accepting donations to preform a shit show so you can cross something out of your bucket list is sad.
Gerrymandering should be a hot topic , talked about far far more. Gerrymandering takes aways your VOTE, your voice, it's so important. Thank you for taking about this.
That Elizabeth story is hilarious lol
Something similar happend 4 years ago with famous violinist Vanessa Mae
www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/revealed-how-vanessa-mae-fiddled-her-way-into-skiing-at-the-winter-olympics-9854822.html
What's even funnier is that she had tried to represent Venezuela in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games in skeleton! hahahah www.parkrecord.com/sports/liz-swaney-strives-for-olympic-spot/
Now that's what i call dedication!!! lol
Law Hansel how is this funny?you sound like your cut from the same cloth as her.
Bob Hacker It's messed up that she was able to get in, but at the end of the day, with the amount of effort she put in to get in, and the fact that it's only one person who managed to get a relatively insignificant spot is pretty humorous. If you are honestly upset by something like this, you really should rethink your attitude.
ace power they got gold in mental gymnastics lmao
The comparison is ludicrous
My problem with Swaney is not that she gamed the system, its that she didn't even try in the Olympics. If aspiring young athlete that maybe wasn't good enough for the U.S. Olympic Team wants to use their ancestry to make their dream come true,okay good for them its that she didn't even try during the event meaning that she prevented some one else's dream for no reason.
I don't think she prevented anyone else. I obviously didn't go looking
through her competition history but from what Phil said, it seems like
she's bad enough that literally anybody who really wanted to be in the
Olympics would've gotten her spot. Also remember she only made it
because of some injuries. I think anyone at all who would have done even
remotely better was either already in or was one of the injured
athletes.
I think the only problem is that it's bit disrespectful to the country, the sport and possibly even the other athletes.
youuploader 1 Obiuslvy yes some athletes did get injured but she wasn't the only other skiier but I just would see a last place athlete that would of tried is what I'm saying.
youuploader 1 Again my problem with the situation is she didn't try. Unlike most people who are focusing on the loophole stuff, like Phil said her journey is interesting but my real problem is she didn't try, I would be mad if she qualified normally and didn't try too
Ya, I agree with that. It seems she never really planned to try. She just wanted to be on the world stage.
It kind of takes away from the sport as a whole
youuploader 1 yep
8:02 Omg that's a perfect "dafuq was that" 😂
the way phil avoids having to say trump is dumb makes me smile
