Now I know why! My community/area accepted thousands of Hmong. They are great people. And it is Sunisa Lee who puts a star on top.

Guess I don't need to watch now. Tbh, tho, I've hated NBCs coverage. All commercials, no flow or GPV Jul 2021 #1

Great, thanks for the spoiler. 😡 bamagal62 Jul 2021 #2

Absolutely shitty thing to do on this board greenjar_01 Jul 2021 #9

Really? Jilly_in_VA Jul 2021 #12

Hard to scroll past a headline..try it like this next time likesmountains 52 Jul 2021 #14

The edit post function on DU allows you to change your headline in the post. GumboYaYa Jul 2021 #18

She's not actually sorry, but is, in fact, reveling in it greenjar_01 Jul 2021 #19

And you Jilly_in_VA Jul 2021 #80

Illegal on DU Polybius Jul 2021 #24

The headline was unavoidable Jimbo S Jul 2021 #29

You say, "I am avoiding 'all other' news sources," so you obviously consider DU a news source. Native Jul 2021 #37

DU has a long history of thoughtful members avoiding the posting of spoilers. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #49

IMO - Spoiler alerts are for recently released movies FBaggins Jul 2021 #66

Scan through this thread. Apparently many do not share your opinion. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #72

They appear to be in the clear minority FBaggins Jul 2021 #76

As I said, it's your call. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #78

You're misrepresenting his statement FBaggins Jul 2021 #85

Now you're either being disingenuous or deliberately obtuse. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #89

So you admit that it's not spoilers in general... FBaggins Jul 2021 #90

I consider this a message board Jimbo S Jul 2021 #60

You expect a lot more of people than I do! Native Jul 2021 #62

How in the fuck does one avoid it when it's the first thing one sees upon logging on? 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #54

I guess you don't understand you could change the title??? USALiberal Jul 2021 #71

No you can't Jilly_in_VA Jul 2021 #79

Yeah, it is shitty. demmiblue Jul 2021 #13

This news is like everywhere. Did you write grievances on other sites? Politicub Jul 2021 #57

Umm, thanks? I was planning to watch it zuul Jul 2021 #3

The point would be, I think, frazzled Jul 2021 #5

Well, that's that then. It doesn't bother you, ergo no problem. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #47

Glad it doesn't bother you. It ruins the experience for a lot of us. zuul Jul 2021 #53

Bright side; no butterflies in the stomach! oldsoftie Jul 2021 #44

SPOILER! Some people like to watch. likesmountains 52 Jul 2021 #4

I hate the suspense but many people don't like to watch competitions when they know the outcome renate Jul 2021 #22

You could edit the spoiler out of your headline, but apparently ms liberty Jul 2021 #23

No they can't Polybius Jul 2021 #25

I see now that it was LBN. They should remove their post. ms liberty Jul 2021 #30

If you don't want news, don't look at news sites Mysterian Jul 2021 #38

LOL, exactly LymphocyteLover Jul 2021 #67

Happy day! Congrats!! BeckyDem Jul 2021 #28

lmao that people are angry about a "spoiler" in LBN. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #32

Right? SunSeeker Jul 2021 #40

Well, I browse Greatest threads not LBN, and I ran across it. That's why people are angry. elias7 Jul 2021 #69

Seems to me just browsing forums directly for a couple weeks would do the trick. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #70

DU needs to change the name of LBN. Dr. Strange Jul 2021 #77

Wow, I've only been on DU for a couple of years but this tread is by far the worst I've ever seen. Biophilic Jul 2021 #34

Excellent! And further confirmation that Simone did the right thing for her team. SunSeeker Jul 2021 #42

No need to take anything away from Lee's victory FBaggins Jul 2021 #45

OMG, I'm not taking anything away. I said they're ALL amazing gymnasts, as this gold shows. SunSeeker Jul 2021 #46

You said it confirmed Biles' decision to step back FBaggins Jul 2021 #51

Without Simone's issues gettng the media spotlight, they did shine. SunSeeker Jul 2021 #55

Nope. FBaggins Jul 2021 #56

OFFS. If Simone had landed on her head during this, what would the headline be? SunSeeker Jul 2021 #58

The headline would be the same FBaggins Jul 2021 #68

Nope. "If it bleeds, it leads." SunSeeker Jul 2021 #73

Way to step up & show the world!! oldsoftie Jul 2021 #43
