In what bookmakers are calling the upset of all time in women\u2019s swimming, Riley Gaines beat Lia Thomas for the last spot left on the US Pro Swimming Tour.<\/p>\n
USPST President Joe Barron says they weren\u2019t considering Gaines at all until she requested a qualifier against the other six people already in contention. She had her attorney draw up a letter, and boom: It was on.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Gaines wasn\u2019t going to sit on the sidelines and do nothing,\u201d said Attorney Ryan J Fish of Williams, Vanden, and Boom, \u201cthe only fair play was to get in the pool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Against incredible odds, Gaines pulled out a win by less than a second in the 10K Meter Quad Stroke. \u201cIt was really impressive,\u201d said Barron, \u201cshe never gave up.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what being a superstar is all about. We sent ALLOD Forensic Journalist to Kentucky, because we couldn\u2019t think of a better place to have a race with Riley Gaines in it, and found that the entire story may be fabricated, but that it\u2019s \u201cplausibly true if you think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In essence, what Riley Gaines has gone through has brought us to the point that rewarding her for continuing to make a 5th-place tie so relevant has become about a bi-weekly thing, and that\u2019s probably not gonna stop until someone new joins \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/p>\n
God Bless You, Riley Gaines, and your funny-looking eyes and ridiculously small tuchus. You make us all want to be better Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
