Shaun White's Gold Medal Run Digs Up Story Of Sexual Harassment Allegations
Team USA is dominating the snowboarding field, winning gold at the first four events. Shaun White is the latest, but his big win is stirring up controversy.
After White won his third Olympic gold medal in the snowboarding halfpipe, reports began to recirculate of sexual harassment allegations against the athlete from 2016. When asked about it in a press conference after his win, White dodged the question, and said he was only there to talk about the Olympics.
Shea Corrigan, Olympics Editor at FanSided, says this story is only beginning to pick up heat because people are just learning about it. Corrigan says that when the original allegations came to light, White was at his most irrelevant. It wasn't a Winter Olympics year, and he hadn't medalled in 2014.
After six games and 240 minutes of pure dominance that ran through March, then part of April, it finally became clear there was only one thing that could stop the UConn Huskies. The final buzzer.
It's opening day for Major League Baseball and with the new season comes new and revamped rules aimed at accelerating game-play and boosting fan interest in the game.
