Richard, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how painful this must be for you. 😭

US's decline exposed in many ways. One is a sad, desperate try to hide US's olympic losses (to China) by using a different medals count than rest of world. Yahoo sports exposes it all. https://t.co/4r5oVKvPJ4

@profwolff I know having your dunk invalidated by events can be a painful and difficult experience. Please feel free to reach out to me in the days ahead, if you need some recommendations for therapists, or even just a shoulder to cry on.
