3 of them in this picture graduated and aren’t on the team now, so the scholarship isn’t an issue. Athletes from plenty of other teams have opted out of a Whitehouse visit. These ladies could’ve as well.

This picture features the champion 2025 Women’s team and 4 of them were seniors so have since graduated and scholarship not an issue. Yet except for the one competing in Europe, the others are present and smiling like they’re proud.

Yeah well I remember being convinced that racism would go the way of the Dodo when I grew up too. Sadly some 40 years later it seems to be thriving.

This really is amazing. I had my motorcycle stolen several years ago and couldn’t get the cops to give a crap. Recovered it a month later, wrecked and abandoned in front of a house and cops couldn’t even be bothered to try and get fingerprints off it. Instead called me at 11:30 at night and said if didn’t get there and pick it up within 30 min, they’d have it towed and I’d be charged for it. About the same experience when I had my car broken into and stuff stole out of it.

Glad they seem to give a crap where you live.

Did TMNT get developed because of toy companies…

TMNT was a comic book series in the 80s, long before the first movie and the cartoons that followed.

More likely one reason… a combination of both.
