I just started frowning when that lady said that if you love something that's different you have too put up with being bullied... idiot, there's no excuse to bully.

[@maxabrams111]

Don't see why people would make fun of this kid to the point he has to switch schools. I would have so much respect for him.

[@m1r3o]

thats what happens in your early teens. you get bullied. it'd be a different story if he was 20 but even then. people are jealous.

[@evab.6240]

Probably because he's gay? Idk. People are mean towards anybody that is slightly different.

[@khymaaren]

@@evab.6240 He came out. like, 5 years ago, this happened another 5 before that. No, I suspect simple jealousy because of his achievements and fame.

The bullies are prob intimidated

[@jacobsparry8525]

@@khymaaren Coming out is not mean others persons did not know it. Very many times do kids at school know stuff as that way be for do others. Coming out just does mean it he is out publicly. He could geted bullyd for many reasons as jealousys or he was gay (if did he haved interest ined boys probly he did looked at them and ifed did they see it that....) or just he was small or he would not standed uped to them or even just he did geted better grades or they thinked he is teachers pet. It does not to matter now because at now those jerks probly do served him at Burger Kings or to watched him and his husband geted ined to AAA restaurants whened they cand not even geted a reserving place at there.

[@marieschannel7748]

Beth Cooley I know she said he needs to understand that people don't like diving the way he does. But that's not bullying it's just that they want to be mean to you to feel better about themselves.

[@barbaraschmitt85]

so anyone should just "put up" with other people throwing stuff at them or name calling?

[@sfhayesvalley]

She said at at 1:28 "and it's difficult for him when people don't appreciate diving the way he does. But it's reality. It's the way it is. Everybody is not going to accept everything you do, and at times, you may have to put up with some things." WTF is she talking about?!?! I hope she's replaced soon.

[@Kari2025]

Man, he shocked those announcers. From the beginning to the end, they couldn’t believe he came from fourth to first.

Fortunately hes got the last laugh thank you Tom bro your hard work and dedication you motivate a lot of people around you!

"At times, you may have to put up with things" - tell that to the 1000's of kids who have taken their lives due to bullying. She's still commenting on diving - I sincerely hope she regrets this insanely stupid comment, which unfortunately, was very common at the time.
