The #MeToo movement was a hit in the sports arena in 2018. The eye of women being believed with other achievements for female athletes was sensational. Female athletes “are taking control, and that’s what it’s all about,” tennis star Serena Williams said. Nassar was given a sentence to 40 to 175 years in prison in a matter that has had an extensive and shocking outcome.
Michigan State ascertained to fix the lawsuits of the victims for $500 million. The university president could not save the job and was accused of lying to police. USA Gymnastics too had to confront charges. Moreover, the company’s future looks dull. Jordyn Wieber, a player of the gold-medal 2012 Olympic gymnastics team, strategized to reveal claims against Nassar silently in a complaint.
Still, as she had the sight over other victims share the most challenging periods of their lives in open court, with their tormentor 20 feet away along with the television snapper telecasting it to the world, Wieber decided to go for a test, as well. “I saw this effect and this power we as Olympians had by using our voice,” the 23-year-old Wieber told The Associated Press. “I felt responsible for doing that.
If I could do one small thing in the world of gymnastics, the world of sports, this was it. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but I felt like it was worth it.” The young women also were the prime contender in the effort of holding the USA Gymnastics and other organizations answerable for the way Nassar’s abuse went unchecked for decades.
As USA Gymnastics kept on using the Karolyi Ranch training centre in Texas despite the victims being asked of the way they were ill-treated by Nassar there, reigning Olympic champion and Nassar victim Simone Biles took it to Twitter to question about the reason. The organization made the announcement pretty much all of sudden when it was leaving the facility.
