Aly Raisman Renews Call For ‘Independent Investigation’ Into USA Gymnastics | TODAY
What a national disgrace! Instead of protecting children we allow them to be abused. Look how the world is looking at us. Stay strong Aly and keep demanding what’s right!
I really think Aly should be given an official spot at USA Gymnastics, whether it be as a safety advocate or on the board, she needs to be there. This may be awkward now while she is suing them but in a few years time this should definitely happen.
There should be multiple high level athletes on any board. Same with any sport. Amy would be a great addition. And no nepotism. No Nastia on the board as long as her dad is the Olympic coach.
Go Aly! We support you 👏 keep speaking truth, holding power accountable and changing gymnastics and the world for the better Aly! 💫
She is so well spoken and intelligent! Go girl!!
Allison Mallory she literally said “ very much bigger” idk if well spoken would be the way I’d phrase it.
Allison, pay more attention to what she says than how she says it. She cant even answer simple questions, she is immature for her age, and she only has complaints no solutions.
Okay, I know I'm a year late.
I wouldn't say she is " well spoken" so sounds like a dumb high school student who is reciting an article she saw on her phone from memory. She is trying too hard to SOUND well spoken, but unfortunately she just doesn't. She is a bimbo, while I agree with her stance, or the fact there should have been an investigation done a very long time ago. Maybe not an "independent investigation" but a fully legal and law enforcement backed investigation. I feel like she only understands 20% of what she is actually saying in this situation. Yeah, good for her though, she is really giving you women a great namesake ...
I’m impressed with Aly. She has really stepped up to the plate and so young.
She really has stepped up. It sometimes feels as though she's carrying this entire fight for a gymnastics revolution on her back alone.
I'm going to miss Aly as a gymnast, but I love what Aly is doing now. She is trying to save a generation.
She's a three-time olympic champion but I respect her as a human being even more than I respect her as an athlete... I would appoint her as CEO of USA Gymnastics honestly (maybe not now, she's young and deserves some rest, but in a few years she would be perfect for that role)
Linda Zunino no she wouldn’t be perfect she has zero experience training nor qualifications
Sometimes it feels as though she's carrying this entire fight for a revolution within USAG on her back alone.
Thank you TODAY for keeping us updated on this matter. So many events get covered when they make headlines and then no updates. So thank you for staying on top of this and Aly Raisman thank you for not giving up-you're amazing!!
She's so passionate about gymnastics
Aly, we support you! Keep speaking up and seeking the answers!
Such an eloquent young lady. It takes guts to step up to the plate like that.
Aly would be perfect on their Board, on the search committee, or in a leadership position in USAG, but sadly that will not be an option for her because she is still in litigation with USAG. There is a reason why they are not communicating with her, because she is still in litigation with USAG.
LC T she’s not commenting on communicating with her directly she means communication with the community and the public
I've heard interview, after interview (maybe not this one) of TV hosts ask if she's been in contact with her and she says no. All I am saying, there is a reason why, because she is suing them... rightly so. She also, very smoothly, never responded to the host asking if she would be interested in being on the board or working in a leadership capacity... I'm impressed with her media training! The host didn't even realize she avoided the question.
Go Aly! It’s 2 years later now, olympics are on in Japan Simone Biles has just resigned. Aly, what’s going on? DOES SIMONE BILES KNOW SOMETHING WE DONT KNOW?? She is acting out of character it seems. Yes, she’s under pressure, mental health etc. But maybe the ghastly situation she is in, being blocked and manipulated by the old cronies and more. It’s so weird- low score, didn’t finish her performance completely etc…. I think there may well be coverup (linked in with the me - too movement). It that’s the case, does anyone have an idea how or who could investigate this issue?
She is truly a leader. She should definitely be a part of the clean up crew for USAG and eventually become its CEO
Aly is currently suing USA Gymnastics so she cannot be part of that organization.
@@lidanol why not?
@@keirasilk6918 Conflict of interest. I think she would be great as part of that team, but it would only happen after her suit is settled.
I love her!! She's the best and in her book she's just an honest person who is looking for an answer to multiple problems and I'm glad she is stepping out into this world showing people she cares! Way to go Aly!
The athletes must all quit the organisation or at least a strike until it gets resolved.
I have always admired Aly because of her talent and capacity as a gymnast, and I like her a lot because of her personality. Now, I am also so impressed, because of her courage and support to this important and urgent cause. I really wish that USA Gymnastics can cope with it with resilience and courage in order to stay strong for the girls that make us feel so proud of them.
They called her grandma bc she slept a lot. Aly is amazing in soooo many ways though
later turned out she had to sleep so much because she felt the pressure to eat far less than her body needed
And grandma Aly on the Olympic team because she was the oldest and the captain
Tim
Girl won 6 gold medals
No grandma here
Why not just give her the job of sorting it out
To these heroes that spoke out and continued to do so until someone finally listened please keep pushing until everyone of these dirtbags that were involved are held accountable.
This is such an epidemic with children. 😡😡😡😡
Independent investigation? If a crime has been committed against you report it to the police? Is she saying a gymnast told the police she was molested and the police ignored it?
LouisFGraham no she’s saying the org ignored it and an actual independent investigate by police, fbi and etc has not been done despite it being a child abuse case that is enabled by the org
TheNonMakeupGuru is the org ignoring it against the law? If so the victims should press charges, if not the police/FBI shouldn't investigate.
@@LouisFGraham they can't press charges technically, which is why they are suing them instead.
LC T well if it's not illegal they should be working on legislation, not an " independent investigation" unless they're just interested in shaking the org down for money
LouisFGraham yeah. They just need the powers that be to do a full investigation to see if charges could be brought against the organization. They just charged penny with possible evidence tampering... are there other players... probably.
The woman who asked her all questions is obviously against aly.
Aly for the CEO of USA gymnastics
Is she retired form gymnastics?
rotciv2008 nothing official but yes
If possible Aly is even more brilliant as a talker than as a gymnast
Aly for CEO!!
She is sooo cool
Aly Raisman s'exprime très bien. j'ai découvert le procès Larry Nassar, le 20 juillet 2020, en you tube. Les Femmes, les Filles, les familles ont réagit groupées. Ce fut leur force. Aly Raisman speaks very well. I discovered the Larry Nassar trial, July 20, 2020, in you tube. Women, Girls and families reacted as a group. It was their strength.
Aly, keep speaking up! Don't stop!
She should step up ...take that job and get us gimnastics in order.
Ms. Aly, should Tom Forester be fired?
Angela McDaniel she has said before that Tom is a step in the right direction
Go Aly!! If you feel like you don’t have all the answers, seek them!! You are a highly qualified, smart young woman. Go get them! Show the people who protect the abuser that THEY WILL BE HELD LIABLE as well.
What a queen
Hi. I'm from Finland and don't know much about Raisman/Nassar/turmoil within USA Gymnastics so please don't get upset with this stupid question of mine: Is all those 3 reasons i mentioned earlier in my comment the reason why Aly isn't competing in Doha at the moment? Or has she "retired" completely?
She hasn't officially retired but she is suing USAG so I'd say her career is over.
I'd say she's retired. I don't think she's technically officially retired but I think she's done with competing.
Misty Lake she’s not competing at all at this stage
Misty Lake Aly is not retired. She plans to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She was going to come back this year, but is doing this great work of speaking about the abuse and USAG as an organization
Aly Raisman never ceases to impress me.
Aly is an American hero.
Luu Sapphire we use hero so loosely these days
@@LouisFGraham Heroes risk their lives to save lives. Sport heroes are not in that category.
Aly is so encouraging 💜💜💜 super proud of her talking about what matters not only to her but others
💛
You go Aly!
Aly and some other former gymnasts should take over.
Kerry Perryman I'm not sure they have the business and political acumen for it
She is impressive and attractive
Attractive but not impressive. Dont complain if you have no ideas for solutions to contribute.
i love her
Every time Aly Raisman says "transparent" take a drink.
Jennifer Smith lol! It's definitely her "buzzword"! But she's absolutely right in everything she says!
It's actually kind of sad. When will they listen to her?
@@RitaBaumann no one listens to complainers with no solutions to contribute.
@@lvega5606 you diminish this to being a complainer? did you even watch the video? she said at the beginning there needs to be an independent investigation by law enforcement
@@user-mk9hv8sl5p They have already done the full investigation, He's in jail, Karolyi Ranch is closed, many people have been fired and banned, and are now waiting their turn to face the judge. What more of an investigation does she want?
You should be the director of USA gymnastics
What a strong woman!! 👏🏼👏🏼
You go, Aly!! 💖💖💖
Aly is one classy broad! A great voice for gymnastics!
Omg she’s so amazing! I don’t think Aly realizes what she’s doing. She’s an amazing voice now for everything, we all want her to have a come back for the Olympics, bittersweet, but we all know now what her priority is.
Take your time Aly! Please redefine usa gymnastics.
She’s against the system but wants to go towards 2020 okay... 😂
She actually retired from gymnastics already :))
She wanted to go for 2020 tho but she supported the system and let to slide and now acts like the victim
Darlene Ramirez Lol, yeah that's not good to happen. 😂
She deserves the choice. A gymnast loves the sport! Don’t shame her. Shame the mean and woman that are the abusers.
I completely understand everything happening with USAG and how Aly feels about all of this but she keeps complaining over social media instead of doing actions to actually help
You were more concerned about medals than telling the truth! You hv 0 credibility
She's great and everything but voice annoying
Haha yeah exactly.
You won't get hurt I wish I was a woman
I see, Sports is not good. Games is surely bad. If there is anything it should be just time pass with right excercise with right relationships "perfect-maintainable" if not, whats this? Did it come from stoneage? That we should haunt to preserve that? Don't people enjoy more life if they do not know the spelling of gymnastics. Who cares?
But child abuse, no one should ever breath such horrible. Animals anywhere anytype should be expelled loudest and coverup is very horrible than that. Its dangerous very dangerous.
Ms Aly, what would you do? Should we give you the position of head of gymnastics?
Angela McDaniel
Its preferable for every single individual that has been involved in US gymnastics to resign. Only then the criminal organization known as US gymnastics will be cleansed
"I'm glad you brought that up because the girls are competing at Worlds right now." LOL.
Mary Bonno was stating she never had any athletes abused by Larry Nassar. She made that statement early on in the investigation on Larry Nassar. Why should she had been punished for stating the truth? You're wrong on Mary Bonno Ms. Aly!!
Just because she said it doesn't mean it's true
I'm pretty sure Mary bono was part of the legal team that defended Larry Nassar. It was her company or something.
@@AD-ek1lw no, it is a huge global firm with thousands of employees and dozens of divisions. She was found to have no part in it.
@@AD-ek1lw Nope, Mary worked at the firms office in Washington DC, in their Silicone Valley Department.
Angela McDaniel she left because of public comments shaming Nike for supporting a black athlete she made...
She doesnt make sense. I dont understand what shes talking about.
Trans man open your eyes
Just turn lesbian just turn lesbian
Aly for CEO! Who cares if she's young! She's smarter than most adults running even this country... Most gymnast respect and trust her more than anyone else.
Icarrus Legrand okay no stop. She has zero experience training or qualifications
Our own President is not even qualified to be President! Who cares!
so inspirational
Just make Aly the CEO
Gorgeous. Wife material right there.
I support her in her crusade against the US gymnastics crime syndicate.
Aly is a man!
Should be the CEO
What will a full independent investigation do? Larry Nassar is in prison for the rest of his life. I think it is more about certain players that enabled Larry's abuse.
It will uncover those who helped enable and cover up Nassar abusing CHILDREN and HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. It is VITAL if USAG wants to end the culture of abuse and move foward as a federation that puts its athelets safety as its number one priorty.
asher45s Perfect response!
Are you joking? The entire board and anyone affiliated with previous crimes must go. An informative investigation would point to who exactly those people are.
smileyfan16 she literally said that.. and that’s the point of an independent investigation because they need to find and remove everyone who was ever involved and enabled this to happen for so long
@@asher45s Which they've already done.
Victimology! again. What's her problem? America's gymnastics now is better than ever. Look at all the international gold medals Simon Biles is raking in. Why does Aly's personal problem with one person have to change the whole USA gymnastics?
Because there are more important things than winning. Hundreds of girls have been abused, and it will happen again if no one demands change. Probably not at the level of Nassar, but even one incident of abuse is too much. It's not just about one person either, it's about the systematic emotional and physical abuse that has gone on for YEARS. You realize Simone, who is competing right now, was abused by Nassar?
The gymnastics is great sure but it isn’t about the gymnastics its about the safety of young gymnasts. These people covered up abuse so who’s to say they won’t do it again. Aly never wants any other girls specifically at USAG to go through what she went through and this to me is very honourable.
I don't agree with your comments, but I do agree with the what you are trying to say. She's demanding a thorough investigation----what would you call what they've already done and are still doing? Also, it's hard to take her so seriously after she has participated in 2 nude photo shoots. I lost a lot of respect for her when she did that .
Girl get a life! She really is trying so hard to stay relevant. Get back in the gym and do what you’re best at. Bye
Solomon Garcia advocating for the safety of hundreds of thousands of girls in the gymnastics community is having a life! It’s having a purpose. I hope you find yours.
Get a life? She has a life, she's dedicated her life to protecting thousands of athletes from abuse. What are you doing?
Her entire life is dedicated to protecting her fellow athletes. You sir, are a pathetic troll.
CC 1974 you don’t pay attention if that’s your question
Solomon Garcia stay relevant? She doesn’t need to stay relevant. She’s literally the main person pushing for actual change
