IN THE NEWS

Victim impact statements in the sentencing for Larry Nassar began last week and continue this week. You can continue to watch it live here.

• Update: Upon order of USOC, Paul Parilla resigns. John Geddert suspended !
• Kyle Stephens: “Little girls don’t stay little forever. They grow into strong women that return to destroy your world.”
• Lindsey Lemke: “Larry, I hope you, Lou Anna Simon, Kathie Klages, John Geddert, and all of USAG are scared, because you have pissed off the wrong army of women.”
• The awfulness of Geddert, quote by quote, story by story
• 14 were warned of Nassar abuse at MSU, at least one of whom is still working with the gymnastics team! WHAT?!
• Jordyn Wieber: "Larry Nassar is accountable. USA Gymnastics is accountable. The U.S. Olympic Committee is accountable. My teammates and friends have been through enough and now it's time for change."
• Aly Raisman: “Imagine feeling like you have no power and no voice. Well, you know what, Larry? I have both power and voice, and I am only beginning to just use them."
• That insane letter Nassar wrote to the judge
• Miss Val opens can of Whoop Ass on USAG
• What you can do:
  • S 534 Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 — Make sure it passes.

USAG announces that it will no longer be using the ranch.

• What do we make of this?
• Is it progress or just cynicism?
• A listener asks: Why can't the women just use the Olympic Training Center?

Plus, is decertification an option? What does that actually mean? And what was the deal with Nastia's apology?
