How do you manage to win a medal at six straight Olympics and remain more or less unknown? The answer: win by shooting a gun. American skeet-shooter Kim Rhode last week became the first athlete, male or female, to win a medal at six summer games and the first on five continents, but don’t look for her on a box of Wheaties.

Mrs. Rhode, who won a bronze medal in Rio, has received little media attention despite

I doubt that is the 2A that is getting her.

Americans, overwhelmingly, simply don't care about marksmanship.

 

[aaronleland]

Because nobody gives a shit about skeet shooting?

 

[aaronleland]

No news outlets but the most conservative are covering her accomplishments or views on gun control. Take these right wing gun nuts at this Huffington whatever. They're probably just more Rupert Murdoch media puppets.

She has received coverage. CNN reported on her when she won her medal and highlighted her feelings on gun control. The reason you don't hear more is the same as why you don't hear more about Greco-Roman wrestlers or equestrians, not that many people are into the sport.

Skeet's another name for a Monica shot.

Aaron would have been the Gold Medal winner while MDK got the Bronze and you were the Silver sandwich between them... ( I know that was wrong but ask me if I care!?! )

Agree, HuffPost is right up there with Breitbart, WND and FOX on the Trump train!

Standing on the lower pedestals can be dangerous.

Good point. The Muslim fencer interests far more viewers than does Kim and her shotgun. It is far more about selling advertising space than political correctness, imo.

The IOC had our medals stripped. We got caught using the performance enhancing drug known as marijuana

I don't care if it's tiddlywinks. If she medaled at 6 straight Olympics she deserves recognition. Clock boy got a White House visit for taking apart a f**n radio. That's the twisted Liberal controlled world we live in.

Fencing is far from the most popular sport, but much more popular than shooting. Badminton is more popular. Fucking badminton.
