I'm not sure what the consequences would be. Can anyone tell me? Will she have to surrender her 145 medals? Will she be booed in Boston and St. Louis?
Will her injury lead to amputation? Will she be disgraced in America? What exactly are these consequences?
I didn't say that there would DEFINITELY be consequences. I just love how everyone goes straight to the word "consequence". I said that she can do what she wants, and she'll either reap a benefit or suffer a consequence out of that. Now, what are the benefits/consequences of doing this event? Benefit: She could get some added experience, get herself comfortable out there, etc. Consequence? No negative ones come to mind right now. I think she can only benefit from doing this event.
