Academics ‘covering’ for Raygun after ‘goofy’ performance

Wrong Speak Publishing founder Adam B. Coleman says the “bubble world” of academia is covering for Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn.

A petition has launched online calling for breakdancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn as well as Australia’s Olympic Committee’s Anna Meares to publicly apologise for Raygun’s awful Olympic performance.

Mr Coleman has branded Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn’s performance as “very goofy”.

“They will applaud her for her efforts when the Olympics is not about giving it your best effort, it’s about winning,” Mr Coleman told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“From what I can tell, it doesn’t feel like meritocracy – looking at the qualifiers that led for her to end up there.”

It was an insult to the athletes. Privilege at its finest.

saying Raygun is skillful enough to compete at olympic level is academically dishonest

Somolia immediately investigated, then fired top authorities when a person caused embarrassment in the previous olympics. But Australia still discussing what to do after many days passed. This lady took a spot in the Olympics that many girls dream, aspire and deserved..she took away someone elses opportunity

[DudeEM]

She and her “coach” husband never heard the word “no” their entire life. It was always “yes, you’re the best. You deserve your spot among the country’s best athletes.”

Hello. American here who was around when breakdancing first came out. What she did (and what her husband was doing) is not breakdancing. Mindlessly flopping about as if they’re having a seizure is what they are doing. Oh, yes, I can be very critical of her. She is NOT one of the best dancers. She is, in fact, one of the worst.

It's sad that we can't call obvious corruption as being corrupt.

[jeperstone]

She's part of the 'elite' which is why she got the gig and why they're defending her

[soniccthehedgehog]

The man is right! The other athletes worked so hard to be at a higher level and do highly skilled moves. She embarrassed the breakdance community and set it back in the Olympics.

I agree with the suspicious for corruption. How could she be qualified and perform poorly in Olympics? That's insulting the World.

[CraigLogan-uzqp]

An insult to all the athletes who trained, sweated, cramped til they fell down. Why have judges when the Olympics are a participation event?

[StamatisSkiadas]

Needs to be investigated as to why worthy performers missed out

[rmac]

For someone who grew up in middle America during the 70s and 80s can 100% confirm that this was not breakdancing....

[colinpeck]

Her & husband are just grifters bullshytting their way on a plane to Paris, food, accommodation then depriving a talented athelit of a place to the Olympics, absolute disgrace...

[stevewiles]

Refund all the costs of getting her there and back

[sabrinamaria]

The Olympics has lost all credibility. I can not watch it anymore.

[grizztough]

Absolutely disgusting . Shameful. An insult to true athletes.

My mother did better when she walked into a spider web.

[illfreakynana]

She is terrible. Let's just be honest. It's not personal, she is not good enough to compete in the Olympics.

[Killagorilla_FPV]

The guy being interviewed is very professional. He kept it dignified without making it a joke but at the same time pointed out the clear facts.!

[kalebarancelovic]

Raygun is undefendable. Someone who performaced at such an elite level as Anna did, I'm surprise she's not telling Raygun to apologise to the Australian tax payer for taking the piss.
