    Caroline Gleich Harrassment Story

    ... I imagine a world where nobody has to deal with this kind of online crap. But, then again here we are in the 12th page of a forum post dedicated to the topic

    Met Caroline at Brighton and she gave me some tips on where to look for snow. Seemed nice/stoked/and like a solid skier. Maybe she could give Brody and Kalen some ski lessons while we're on the subject

    I don't like tips on where to look for snow. Prefer self discovery and reading the land

    Why hasn't Caroline or her proxy surfaced in this thread ?

    Im kinda leaning towards this mentality when it comes to cyberbullying. The difference with this situation is her official social media accounts are effectively her workplace and having a client come to my workplace to harass me would not be acceptable. It also REALLY crossed the line with the personal phone call.

    the issue with cyber bullying is when its the same people you see everyday in real life are doing it, and it is just an extension of the real life bullying when you go home for the day. But then again, folks need to learn how to deal with bullies (fight, ignore, humor, find new friends to sympathize, become cooler, become a bully yourself... etc). Just another way that people are becoming more and more socially impotent and marshmallow soft.

    on another note, how is Sierra Quitquit a sponsored athlete. I saw her ski a few years back. She is terrible?

    Always wondered how Kristie Leskinin was a redbull athlete as well?

    somebody left her a voicemail? big fucking deal


    her social media is her workplace? this is absurd

    this thread is out of hand with ninnies


    i re-read the TGR article and was dumbfounded - so she is unhappy with the messages, i get it


    this is the internet, the E-wild west

    What does how well someone skis have to do with whether they're sponsored? Sponsors care about exposure, not whether or not someone can carve a turn or hit a jump (unless that's how they're getting exposure).

    If you want a clue why she's sponsored, take a look at her instagram. Compare the number of ski shots to the number in underwear or a bikini.

    Quitiquit - lol at 1:52 in this:


    Seems like she'd be fun to hang with though.

    True.

    Quitiquit owns the model who skis image unapologetically and openly. There is zero pretense that it's anything other than what it is.

    How many pages would this thread have if, say, Brody Leven had been the one to receive threatening voice mails? Would people discuss whether he, or for that matter Cody Townsend and John Collison, seemed like nice guys that one time they talked to them for 30 seconds? How about the ratio of ski shots to pictures of attractive people in expensive clothes and/or cars and boats on Jon Olsson's instagram?

    But you agreed with my suggestion that your expectations weren't met due to the context of your meeting (whatever it was)? Judging someone (male or female) based on your own flawed expectations not being met is pretty weak.
    Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

    Nah, it's not newsworthy because TGR editors would interpret the complaint as flirting...

    Oh hi are we still laboring under the delusion that athletic sponsorships constitute some form of meritocracy rather than being a way for corporations to give something inexpensive (their products) for something very valuable ("authentic" advertising)?

    Why yes, yes we are. If you're mad about someone being sponsored because they aren't good at the thing they are ostensibly sponsored to do, I would venture to say that you do not have a great understanding of how capitalism/advertising works...

    I dunno Sierra (her brother seems cool though) but I don't fault her for how she got her job...

    no, no we're generating aspirational content for future asshat Joey's to reference before cyber bullying.

    As to who is judged as asking for or deserving of an e-slapdown, I have no Occams razor.
    Bullies always seek out the archtypically weak.
    As such, it's plain that women get judged differently as Klar points out.
