* UPDATE
We have edited our discussion of Jordan's floor routine story, not Jordan's quote. Why did we do this? Because there were too many misinterpretations of our discussion online. We have heard from USAG that staff are receiving threats. We find this abhorrent! To be crystal clear: The input Jordan received was not from a person within USAG, which we have confirmed. Jordan said “it wasn’t USA” and “not…USAG”.

USAG informed us they first learned of the suggested routine change when we shared the clip on the podcast.

In our commentary following Jordan’s statements, we were not trying to blame anyone indirectly involved. We were attempting to highlight the lessons from the BLM movement.

Jordan is very excited about her new routine and we have no doubt she will bring all of herself into the routine when it’s performed.

We will share more thoughts on our shows Friday and Monday.
