Shaun White at the Olympics

What's up with Costas interviewing Shaun White every night about sports he knows nothing about? I turn on the Olympics to see badass athletes putting it all on the line and I'm forced to watch this little toothpaste ginger fuck blather on about how gymnastics is different from snowboarding because they're not wearing snowboards and about how he's planning on medalling in both halfpipe and slopestyle in 2014. God I hope the Olympics doesn't do this to freeskiing.

Saw that. he seemed like such an asshole. the interviewer was talking about how trampoline compares to snowboarding, and shawn says that snowboarding is much more difficult, but did it in a way that seem so arrogant. He also said that he could win two medals at the next olympics, even though he didn't even qualify at x.

Enough with the hate on Shaun White. .001% or NS knows him/has ever met him, and he's a fucking unreal snowboarder. I realize this is probably unrelated to the thread, but it needed to be said. The kid rips. stop being jealous fucks.

Don't blame Shaun White, blame the fuckers at NBC who think showing interviews is better than showing athletes compete.

It's all publicity. Shaun White is a big deal in the winter Olympics and he's a popular icon among teenagers and young adults. They're not gonna have some champion racer or ice skater (except apolo ono) that no body know the name of, why do you think Ryan Secrest is doing all this coverage too? He's a popular icon among the people of america. It's pretty simple actually and I'm surprised you're having such a hissy fit. if you don't like it, don't watch it. In the mean time, you're getting pissed and Shaun is raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars for just showing up and talking.

It's not even that he didn't qualify, he didn't even compete in qualifiers.  And you know that he won gold at Euro X, right?

can i just point out to all of you DUMB FUCKS, every single fucking thing in this lame lifeless bull shit of a fucked up world is about one thing MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ no matter what fucking opinion anyone has anymore it doesnt matter, what they show on tv is there for one fucking reason MONEY so keep your opinion to yourself if you think hes so stupid because national tv channels show him on tv, remember its so they can make money, he was probally paid to say that so leave the talented gold medalist alone and worry about your own set skill list. OP your first problem is you sat there and watched the bull shit. /thread

What a dick. A kid at camp told me that Shaun just comes to the park at Windell's or some camp at Hood after campers leave so he can hit it privately and alone. What a douche.

The douche thing is not the private session, it's that he doesn't want to be with the kids at camp or be around anyone else. W/E

Haters gonna hate, but watch the man snowboard and then say something. He probably is a major douche, but that doesn't take away from the fact that hes the best flippy spinny snow sliding guy on the planet.

If i never saw him without his gear on and never heard him speak my opinion of him would be alot higher. He is good at what he does, but girls have better rail game than he does.

maybe he doesn't like being stared at and followed and asked for autographs and taken photos of?

i would assume it'd be distracting and unpleasant

He's gonna get whipped in slope. If he thinks snowboarding is more difficult than trampolining, he's wrong. The comparison in requisite precision isn't even close.

Canadian coverage is shit. pure shit. CTV is terrible at what they're doing. CBC is a million times superior at big sports events than CTV. So glad they got the rights back for 2014 and 2016. And the only good announcer at CTV for the Olympics actually works for CBC. no shit.
