She was just trying to protect her Father's position with the USAG. I agree it was a pathetic answer she should be ashamed.What did you guys think of Nastia's response to it? It upset me... She just said.. OH well that wasn't my experience so oh well... ( that's what i took from her comments )... It made me really mad! How about have empathy and say that I support my fellow gymnast and want to make sure that they all feel safe!! ughh!
Exactly what she was doing! YUCKShe was just trying to protect her Father's position with the USAG. I agree it was a pathetic answer she should be ashamed.
It seemed extremely insensitive. She could easily have said that while she was not a victim, she is in advocate for the gymnasts who are, that she stands behind the need to make changes and ensure nothing like this ever happens again.What did you guys think of Nastia's response to it?

Yep. Nastia clearly did not want to talk about it or get involved or say anything.
Simone's response was great- she said something along the lines of "all 5 of us support what she is doing." I thought her response showed unity and support for her teammate.
Simone was talking about all the girl's supporting Aly. She did a great job without getting into detail.. Nastia on the other hand just swept it under the rug like no big deal.. she had a different experience...I missed that last part, who was Simone talking about?
My tuppence, fwiw, is that nastia is too embedded in usag herself, so doesnt want to risk her nest eggs by commenting too deep. Not just that her dad has the new head gig, but she has her commentary, and also makes money through lucas sports and God only knows what else. Nothing against her, but even while you are "protecting your own," so to speak, you shpuld think about protecting other fellow gymnasts elsewhere. It was very disappointing, and made me think a lot less of her honestly. She didnt have to even say much, just a sign of support.....imho she was already told what to say....hope i am wrong. But yeah...it wasnt great.

Nastia is awful. She was dismissive of Aly's remarks when they were commentators together as well. Remember who her father is.What did you guys think of Nastia's response to it? It upset me...

WOW that is pretty awful. What i can say about the whole mess is.. that it has opened up a talking point with my daughter (10) and I may not describe the events, but I am able to ask her if she understands that she is never to be in a room alone with an adult .. especially in this type of situation. EVER..Regarding Nastia's reaction: Shortly after the first accusations started coming out, Nassar posted a new Facebook photo which was immediately flooded with likes and comments from his supporters. Nastia was among those who "liked" the photo. That's an obvious display of support for Nassar. It made her look totally dismissive towards the victims and basically like she didn't believe them.
