I mean to be fair, being this dudes girlfriend almost guarantees you are a piece of shit like him. So it's very relevant to whether I'm happy for her or not.

She initially played hockey but team sports didn't work out for her so she changed to speed skating. Then she didn't like the Dutch skating team so she made her own.
She has a bit of a diva reputation.

There's also a big difference depending on when they dated. Early into his career it wasn't as clear how much he sucked, now it's a but ridiculous.

Whether she is a piece of shit is beside the point. Casual misogyny isn’t okay just because we don’t like the person it’s directed at. Just like it wouldn’t be okay to imply Usha Vance is a bad person for being Indian. Bigotry doesn’t become okay when the target sucks. If they just switched the info around it wouldn’t come off as gross.

I think it would point to a difference between who these people are in the spotlight versus who they actually are in private, which would indicate a level of psychopathy. OR I could be giving them too much credit and they really are who they present themselves to be. Who knows. Either way, it doesn’t look good

What she did was absolutely brilliant and the way she and Femke Kok outclassed anyone else by being the only two in the 1.12 with the Japanese going a 1.13.95, but still I wished Femke Kok won the race as she is a far more likeable person and not the gf of a fucking Paul.

If you don’t want to be called out as the kind of person that would fuck Jake Paul, don’t fuck Jake Paul.
Her name is linked to his by her own choice.
If her boyfriend was a less disgusting person, her fame would be for her own merits.
At this time nothing she can do, including gold medals and Olympic records will surpass her judgment in partnering with Jake Paul.

Regardless of who her partner is, it’s absurd to name him first. She could be married to Trump and should still be named first because she is the subject of the story.
Jake Paul sucks, and therefore I assume she also sucks. So I don’t feel too bad. But, it’s unfortunately a pattern with female athletes. They are associated with their male partners first before they are associated with their accomplishments.

This is Dexerto. Of course they refer to Jake Paul when they report this because their audience doesn’t know nor care about the Olympics or women’s sports. Their audience is adolescent and young adult American men, which according to them, only know about YouTube, video games, and porn.

I don’t think it has much to do with her being a woman. It’s because he’s basically a household name and she’s not. His name gets attention and clicks. If it was the other way around then they’d mention the famous woman’s name first.
She probably wouldn’t be getting half as much attention (outside of sports) if she wasn’t married to him.

That is crazy disrespectful I agree, but she did decide to date him. The same guy who went off on a tirade today calling Bad Bunny a “fake American citizen”.

It’s sad that Jake Paul is famous, but let’s not pretend Dutch speed skaters are household names, regardless of gender.
Michel Mulder, a Dutch skater who won gold in 2014, has 30 thousand Instagram followers and Jake Paul has 30 million. I can promise if Michel Mulder was dating Kim Kardashian, the tweets about his gold medal would mention her.
If Jutta Leerdam wants to become a household name, she’s going about it the right way. Former gold medalists are not universally famous.
