THERE'S MORE DRAMA IN RIO AS THEY LET THIS
CONTINUE, AND IN THIS LATEST SOAP OPERA STORY, IT TURNS
OUT THAT TWO SUMMERS GOT ENGAGED.
BUT DID SHE WANT TO SAY YES TO THIS ENGAGEMENT OR THIS
PROPOSAL?
IT'S CHINESE SWIMMER, AS YOU PROPOSE TO BUY HER LONGTIME
BOYFRIEND.
THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR SIX YEARS, SHE'S 25
YEARS OLD, AND HE DID THIS VERY PUBLIC PROPOSAL, WHICH SOME
PEOPLE FOUND EXTREMELY SWEET, AND OTHER PEOPLE FELT
WASN'T REALLY THE RIGHT TIME TO PROPOSE.
SHE HAD JUST WON A SILVER MEDAL, HE HAD WON A BRONZE MEDAL,
AND APPARENTLY RIGHT AFTER WINNING THESE METALS HE
DECIDED TO PROPOSE TO HER.
SHE SAID YES, BUT THEN LATER ON SHE MADE A FEW COMMENTS THAT
MADE ME THINK SHE'S RETHINKING HER DECISION TO SAY YES.
HERE'S WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY, "WE'VE BEEN DATING FOR SIX
YEARS BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT AND PROPOSE TODAY.
HE SAID A LOT OF THINGS, MADE A LOT OF PROMISES, BUT I
THINK THE THING THAT TOUCHED ME THE MOST IS I THINK THIS IS
THE GUY IN TRUST FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE" BUT LATER ON SHE SAID ñ
RIGHT THERE, EVEN RIGHT THERE WE'VE GOT A LITTLE RED FLAG.
A COPY OF GOD, I TRUST HIM, I JUST HIM!
WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE THE
REST OF THE STORY.
LATER SHE TOLD THE NATIONAL POST THAT SHE DID NOT EXPECT TO
MARRY HERSELF OFF SO YOUNG, AND I WAS TOO SOON TO GET
MARRIED AND GET A PROPOSAL.
SO SOME PEOPLE ARE UPSET BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE THIS IS TAKING
AWAY FROM HER SILVER METAL WIN, BECAUSE RIGHT AFTERWARDS
OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A PRESS CONFERENCE AND THERE WAS VERY
LITTLE, IF ANY, CONVERSATION ABOUT HER ACCOUNT WAS MEANT,
IT WAS JUST ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE JUST GOT PROPOSE TO.
WHICH ISN'T SURPRISING TO ME AT ALL, PEOPLE LOVE THAT STUFF
IN THE MEDIA.
AT THE SAME TIME, PEOPLE GET UPSET ABOUT THINGS TOO EASILY.
IT'S NOT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, HOW ABOUT YOU LET HER DECIDE
WHAT SHE'S UPSET ABOUT?
THAT BEING SAID, PUBLIC PROPOSALS ARE THE WORST.
LET'S DO A YOUTUBE POLL ON THIS ONE.
SHOULD HE HAVE DONE IT OR NOT?
THAT WILL BE THE POLL ON THE YOUTUBE CLIP.
HERE'S MY STRONG OPINION.
FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE, OH MY GOD IT TOOK
AWAY FROM HER MOMENT.
IF I WAS GOING TO DO IT, I WOULD HAVE A LOT OF CAPITATION FOR
SAYING, MAYBE I SHOULD DO THIS IN A MOMENT WHERE SHE COULD
CELEBRATE THE ENGAGEMENT SEPARATELY, AND HER
COMPETENT SEPARATELY.
ON THE OTHER HAND, NO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HER
DIVING ANYWAY.
KEEP IT REAL, NAME ME ANOTHER DIVER ñ UNLESS NBC DID A GIANT
STORY ABOUT AN AMERICAN DIVER, AND THEIR SON THE HEAD
LOOKING YEAH AND THEIR DOG THAT HAD THREE LEGS, ETC.
ñ
NAMELY ANY OTHER DIVER THAT YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND
BE LIKE, NO GUYS, TODAY LET'S TALK ABOUT THEIR PERFORMANCE.
THAT IS NOT A CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENS AROUND THE DINNER
TABLE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY, OR THE WORLD, WHERE THEY
ARE LIKE, LET'S FOCUS ON HELICES PERFORMANCE.
HOW WAS IT?
IT HAPPENS AT THAT MOMENT FOR A SECOND.
THE POINT IN ME BEING SO ANIMATED ABOUT THAT IS, NOW
SHE'S INFINITELY MORE FAMOUS.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
IT HELPS HER CAREER, WHATEVER THAT CAREER MIGHT END UP
BECOMING.
IT PUTS A LOT MORE SPOTLIGHT ON HER WIN.
THIS IS A TYPICAL MALE PERSPECTIVE, IT'S UP TO THE
MAN TO COME IN AND SAVE THE WOMAN AND GET HER THE PRESS
ATTENTION SHE NEEDS TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
YOU KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE GOTTEN EVEN LESS SPOTLIGHT?
THAT DUDE WHO WON THE BRONZE, WHO WAS DOING THE PROPOSING.
NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE BOTH IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
THE SECOND PART OF THE EQUATION IS, DUE TO YOU ARE PUTTING HER
ON THE SPOT, AND THAT'S AN UNCOMFORTABLE THING TO DO.
SHE DOESN'T LOVE HIM.
DAM.
SHE DOESN'T, SHE JUST THREW IT OUT THERE.
SHE WAS 19 WHEN THEY STARTED DATING, SHE'S NOW 25.
I'VE BEEN THERE DONE THAT.
SHE'S LIKE NO I DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU, PLEASE DON'T DO A
PUBLIC PROPOSAL, PLEASE DON'T DO IT, I HAVE TO SAY YES NOW.
AND THEN SHE'S GOING TO BACKPEDAL.
THAT'S MY SPECULATION, BUT PEOPLE CHANGE CONSIDERABLY
BETWEEN THE AGES OF 19 AND 25.
BASED ON HER COMMENTS, I FEEL LIKE SHE'S IN A REALLY
TOUGH SPOT AND SHE'S TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF IT.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT, IN 2020 SHE'S ALREADY SWITCHING
SPORTS AND IS GOING TO BACKPEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS IN TOKYO.
ALL RIGHT, NO, SERIOUSLY, SHE'S GOING TO GET OUT OF IT.
BUT SHE DID THE RIGHT THING HERE, BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY GOES
AND DOES THE WHOLE PUBLIC THING, OH I LAUNCHED THE BALLOONS AND
YOUR FACES ON THE STADIUM, YOU KNOW, JUMBOTRON, ETC.,
YOU HAVE GOT TO SAY YES.
THAT'S OKAY, AFTERWARDS, BE LIKE HEY DICK, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
DON'T ASK ME IN FRONT OF ALL OF SHEA STADIUM.
IS IT STILL CALL THAT?
IT'S PROBABLY BANK, BANK, BANK STADIUM.
SO DON'T DO THAT, BUT DON'T EMBARRASS THEM IN PUBLIC
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNUCKLEHEADED MOVE.
BUT TO BE FAIR TO HIM NOW, THERE'S ALL THESE
EXPECTATIONS THAT SOCIETY PUTS ON GUYS.
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT UNBELIEVABLE!
UNFORGETTABLE!
YOU BETTER BE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL!
THIS GUY IS LIKE, I GOT IT, I'LL DO IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
LIVING CEREMONY.
TODAY DURING THE POST GAME SHOW FOR THE MEMBERS, I WANT TO
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW I GOT PROPOSED TO, AND I'M GOING
TO
SHARE THE LOWDOWN OF WHAT I REALLY THOUGHT OF THE PROPOSAL.
I WILL INCLUDE YOUR PROPOSAL STORY,
ñ I WILL MATCH YOUR PROPOSAL STORY.
MIGHT INCLUDE SOMETHING I CALL AN UNFORTUNATE KISS.
BUT RIGHT NOW, I VOTE HE DID THE WRONG THING.
I GET WHY HE DID IT, I'M NOT HATING ON HIM .IT COMES FROM A
GOOD PLACE.
I DON'T HATE THE PLAYER I HATE ñ I HATE THE GAME.
IN HIS CASE, LITERALLY.
SHE'S GOING TO SAY NO TO YOU LATER, I'M BREAKING IT TO
YOU RIGHT NOW BIG GUY.
