O Larry Nassar, how could you be so bold?
To sexually abuse our girls so young and old?
Your wickedness will not be overlooked
And in prison pay the cost, with justice you'd be booked.

A couple days late on this, but an important read nonetheless.

"In short, identity and representation matter. How many Black girls even enter the sport in the future will be influenced by what they see as attainable or impossible."

@fbi@twtr.plus Director Wray: "I don’t have a good explanation for you” on what went wrong in the Larry Nassar case.

‘I’m sorry that so many different people let you down over and over again’: FBI Director Christopher Wray apologized to gymnasts abused by former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar and the agency’s mishandling of the sexual abuse investigation https://reut.rs/3tHaAiM

McKayla Maroney (@mckaylamaroney@twtr.plus): “The @fbi@twtr.plus, U.S. OG and USOPC sat idly by while dozens of girls continued to be molested by Larry Nasser … They had legal, legitimate evidence of child abuse and did nothing …

These FBI agents have committed an obvious crime; they falsified my report & that’s illegal.” @tomselliott@twtr.plus

Maggie Nichols (@magsgotswag12@twtr.plus): “The @fbi@twtr.plus issued no search warrants and made no arrests …

The OIG report found that senior FBI officials lied to the IG, engaged in conflicts of interest & tried to cover up the biggest sexual abuse scandals in the history of sports." @tomselliott@twtr.plus

@mckaylamaroney@twtr.plus, “The @thejusticedept@twtr.plus refused to prosecute these individuals.

Why? Deputy Attorney General @lisamonaco@twtr.plus couldn’t even bring herself to be here today …

Why are public servants whose job it is to protect getting away with this? This is not justice.

Enough is enough." @tomselliott@twtr.plus

@mckaylamaroney@twtr.plus: "After telling my entire story of abuse to the @fbi@twtr.plus in the summer of 2015, not only did the FBI not report my abuse, but when they eventually documented my report, 17 months later, they made up entirely false claims about what I said."

Over 100 women spoke out about Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse this week. Cable news barely covered it.
MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN spent less than 20 minutes combined this week covering Nassar’s abuse
