These are highly individualistic times, and we are now reluctant — often rightly — to sacrifice an individual for a team. This may be why the criticism has turned from Robbins to her teammates, who seem so harsh.
Wrong on several points. These are ,increasingly, times of collectivisation and the subordination of the individual to the group. Paradoxical, a team is engagment in a collective activity, No it is not. The team is composed of individiuals who must do their best , deliver on their oblgations according to why they are a team: others have to trust the others will deliver. Robbin failed, the others did not.
Further on collectivisation is the tell tale sign, the various meretricious efforts to explain away Robbin’s failure to do her job, each explanation conatined in vulgar expressions rooted in thw twin quack sciences which, in fact, are nothing but the dicta of `priests’ ( pysch) and tribal pooh bahs, ( sciology). The excuses , todate, can be summed up as, the team failed and even let Robbins down.
Bolt errs, as so many do, including the majority, in assertintg the individual and individualism is some vile, mistaken ideology when, in fact, the individual is not a doctrine but a fact of physics. There is no such thing as society, only associations only because there are two or more who observe the same things: take English, no god speaking uggoy bloody booga, when all else speaks English, nothing in common at all. No, as Robbin’s exculpation demonstrates, she is a product of scoialsism which has been ground in through schools, reinforced by govts in many other ways and it shows, cretins mouthing vulgarisms. But that Sums up the Olympicsd full stop, a tribute to communism, nothing less.
Rubbi8sh, Bpolt, outright rubbish. If individualism were as prevalent as you say, Robbins would not have been on the team full stop, her team mates not pooh bahs called `sports adminstrators, managers and other such tributes to the planned economy’ , would have decided long ago,as they in fact had decided, Robbins is no good, can’t be trusted to do what she would be expected to deliver, bound to because the agreement is just that: you want to be in this team, you have to be that bloody good right throught to the end’.No, socialistos made the Robbinses possible and it is socialistos who are engaged in special pleading to excuse the failure for her treeachery against the others. Typical of the quackery of socio-psycho babble is Robbins’ asservation she has walked away `stronger’ , yah, a walking, living, breathing, tribute to fat god almighty socialisto extorting and racketeering govt. is Robbins and her half witted medja apologists,..
