Video: Was it even POSSIBLE for Spencer Lee to do this...

[Vallholl]

I've never watch this guy's video before but he starts out saying that Spencer might be lying about the torn ACL (keep watching). It's all part of how what Spencer did was insane.

There is part of the video where a medical doctor watches the video of the BTT and cannot see where Spencer tore his ACL and cannot see any change. In my personal experience, when I tore my ACL, I felt a failure but no pain. That being said, I did NOT win a National Championship 8 days after I tore my ACL (among other things, I didn't have an eligibilty left). Currently family vacation planning and my wife asked me if I could hike ten miles on the AT and started making excuses on why she couldn't do it (elevation, terrain, back). I told her that "Excuses are for wusses". I imagine I be wishing I hadn't said that in a couple of weeks.

Back to the video. Good stuff.

To me this guy is the definition of a whore in 2021. First, he’s making a YouTube video about someone’s YouTube video. Then in typical hot take fashion, he outwardly lies and says in the first 15 seconds of the video that maybe Spencer Lee lied about tearing his acl, and he did it all for views aka attention.

Then we get to the best part of the video, the other guys video, which is informative and worth a watch. But unfortunately, when that video ends there’s still time on the clock and we go back to blondie. Blondie immediately recants the outrageous lie he told us about Spencer possibly lying about his 0 acls and praises him for his accomplishments. I for one, am glad that our dearest village moran “blondie” caught up to the fact that Spencer Freaking Lee is really freaking good.

i apologize for the mini rant but I’m tired of the sports culture that says putting out intentionally disingenuous video like this one is okay because someone will find it entertaining.

Agree 100%. Today’s media/social media/journalism culture sucks like a million straws. Can’t believe I just watched that in entirety.

 

[SPOONER]

After reading your post there’s no way I’m watching this. What kind of idiot doctor diagnoses an injury by video? No way am I giving this attention whore a click.

Hell, I watched the whole thing and then spent 10 minutes angrily ranting about how much I hated it. So you have the upper hand on me in this fight to the bottom. Haha.

But yes, blondie and everyone like him suck a bag of sticks.

Get a life.

I refuse to watch this garbage, but why in the hell would Spencer lie!? What is there to gain? If he is 100% healthy (you're a moran if you can't see that he is not) he is still a 3 time champ in 3 championships. Click bait!!

 

[Hawkeyes4Life247]

So Spencer lied to get attention…after the tournament was finished with? Poor timing on Spencer’s part.

Really? Or is my sarcasm meter busted up again?

 

[bluroptimo]

I’ll pass. Sounds like some nasty click bait.

Same for me. I never felt any pain when I tore mine it just kind of gave way. Then I had a sprained knee that hurt so damn bad I thought I had blew everything out. Weird stuff.

in terms of Spencer it was pretty obvious just afterwards that he wasn’t the same guy. Crazy how much better he is than everyone that he still destroyed everyone in his weight class. Plus he’d of been at the Olympic trials of his knee wasnt messed up. So this is just dumb lol

Yes, throw some new batteries in that meter. Spencer is a beast and this video a waste of time.

The problem here was that the doctor took the "first 30 seconds" too literally and stopped watching right before Schroder got in on a single and Spencer's knee was in a weird position as he was trying to keep his hips up to go to his splits.

As for the video, that's just basic youtube stuff. You use the clickbait to get the views. The actual video is just one of many praising Spencer for being a freak. It's really not worth getting upset over.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Hmmm....so after winning a third NCAA title Spencer Lee needed to lie for what reason exactly? Athletes who lie are either covering up cheating or trying to explain away disappointment. Lee had neither of those things going on.

 

[Grip220]

So this guys new name is click whore, do I have this right?

 

[jammenz]

So do I have this right. Spencer has two torn ACLs but won't get them fixed because ...?

 

[Inspiteofourselves]

So do I have this right. Spencer has two torn ACLs but won't get them fixed because ...?

because he's a freak athlete and thinks rehab is the better option than surgery

 

[Hawkeyes4Life247]

I assume because it makes sense for him not to. Whether he had surgery or not, he wasn’t going to be ready for the Olympics this summer. That dream is off the table until 2024. Rehab allows him to have a shot at the second team title with everyone returning next year and that was one of his goals coming to Iowa. It also gives him a chance to get 4 national titles and move past NCAA wrestling after next year. Maybe he’s just ready to finish this stage next spring. The big question for me is will he rehab and be well enough for Worlds next summer, or have surgery next April and wait for the Olympics in 2024?

 

[Sett1997]

It's obvious Spencer wasn't right at NCAA, healthy Spencer would have teched and stuck his way through the field.
On a side note , Courtney should have been stalled out of that match, officiating was about as pathetic as I've ever seen.
