In an interview Wednesday, the president of USA Gymnastics announced plans to boycott states that have limited abortion because pro-life views do not align with USAG’s values.
Speaking with the Associated Press, USAG president Li Li Leung said abortion laws will be a major factor in whether a state is chosen to host future events. (Snip) Leung stepped into her role as the head of USA Gymnastics in 2019 with the hope of rebuilding trust in the organization after it allowed a pedophile USAG team doctor Larry Nassar and other pedophiles to molest hundreds of young gymnasts for decades.

Let them play elsewhere, then, and good riddance. Unless the insatiable hunger for tax dollars outweighs basic morality, which sadly is often the case because governments have grown far too large.

What abortion abortion or any other political position have to do with gymnastics?
Why does a sports organization even have political "values"?

FTA: ''Leung complained that the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “took away” from USA Gymnastics’ “value system.”
In other words: ''We value killing babies.'' Is she presuming to speak for EVERY female gymnast? As usual, crazy liberals destroy EVERYTHING they touch.

So is Li Li Leung a secret member of the CCP pushing leftist values? Maybe they should re charter as CCP Gymnastics instead of USA. Curious as to the huge support of abortion for mostly underage girls? Who is getting these young girls pregnant?

Sounds like an invitation for a new non political organization to organize and compete. The Episcopalian and other churches went down this same road years ago and saw their membership dry up.

Is this an admission that they force young gymnasts to abort? I’ve really soured lately over the Olympics and don’t really care. Scandals, pedo coaches, and most of all anti-American athletes. Meh!

Is this so that, in case they get another Larry Nassar in the system, the girls they purport to protect and represent will have recourse?? We ARE talking about mostly 15-17 year old girls here, aren't we???

Evil baby killers are not worth supporting in any way, shape or form. Making your athletic organization into a political organization is exceptionally stupid, and WILL cause you grief.

Screw'em, they should move to another country. People always have to abide by THEIR laws but they refuse to abide by any other laws. Again screw them...

All these people that are so pro-death seem to forget their mothers were not. Are these people even aware they're alive today to spew their vial pro-death propaganda because their mothers allowed them to live by gaving birth to them? Self-awareness is not something these people possess.

They are in Tampa this weekend for their national championships. We have a strong governor and strong abortion law now. Good riddance if you don't like it and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Great values to be teaching our kids!

Then I guess they can accept sub-standard US performance, internationally. My middle finger raised in salute.

After all, abortions are necessary to protect the young athletes who require abortions after being molested by their own doctors and trainers

Until the stated policy goes away, I will neither view U.S.A. Gymnastics, nor root for them, nor even click on a story about them. Giving the Cancel Culture Left a taste of their own medicine is the only thing that makes me willing to use their despicable tactic...

After finding out that those girls were functioning in a system of being molested by the coaching staff/doctor, I don't have the same fondness for the sport anymore. Especially since the adults refuse to let the girls have more modest attire when they compete. All about the judges drooling all over those girls.

Leung your values are not of interest. We have stopped giving money to the Olympic committee for the simple reason. We want US gymnasts and any other sports figure to win and bring gold back home. Want to make a political statement, do it elsewhere. Otherwise, stay there and don't come back. This dame wants to penalize states who do not agree with her abortion stance. Fire her and get a new president.

I think that it is much more sinister than anyone thinks. How many of these little girls are molested or raped in gymnastics? Look at how long the brutality of that evil bastid that assaulted all those gymnasts FOR YEARS was hidden by USA Gymnastics.

No problem. Stay out of the red states and hold your events in Dem controlled cities. Your events will cost you more, and security will be required to keep the athletes safe. Also, watch where you step, human waste, syringes, and other piles of garbage can ruin your whole day.

Contrary to what an earlier poster guessed, Li Li Leung is a female. And according to her bio on the USA Gymnastics website, "Prior to joining USAG, Leung most recently served as a Vice President at the National Basketball Association (NBA), where she was responsible for building, leading, negotiating and managing key partner relationships around the world."
Let's see.. NBA... "partner relationships around the world" ... China, anybody?
