Penny getting the severance he received was almost certainly due to a contractual arrangement (we call those employment agreements) that was entered into with him when he first became President of USAG. Usually, the only way a company can get around paying severance is if the individual is terminated for “Cause.” “Cause” is usually VERY specifically defined, and terminating someone for it nearly ALWAYS ends up in court and it’s very hard to prove and very expensive to prove, unless one part of the definition is like “conviction of fraud” and some prosecutor has already convicted the guy of fraud. Usually the definition is like “material breach of a corporate policy” or “material breach of your employment agreement.” All very wishy-washy things. For most companies, it’s better to just get your release of claims, pay them the money, and be on your way versus trying to avoid paying them by incurring massive legal fees. 

I literally do employment agreements (among other executive compensation things) for a living.

Anyway the message for my post: Stop assuming USAG paying Penny’s severance had anything at all to do with that person’s feelings on the entire situation. Do I think trash people like Penny should get to walk w/ severance packages? No. Do I think companies are making very logical decisions when they let executives walk w/ severance packages? Absolutely yes.

Ok, here’s the thing, Ellie is an AMAZING human being, she really is but this score is fucking ridiculous

I love Larisa but don’t love everyone bitching and moaning about Ragan getting a 14.5 with wobbles whereas Larisa gets a 14.0 for wobbles, form issues on almost every single skill, and a FALL and it’s dead silence?? Someone legit came to my site and commented on the Universiade results about how perfect Larisa is and how Ragan was “so overscored” lmao. Okay?? I don’t even have a preference out of the two of them really, and actually low key hope Larisa wins AA at worlds because I want her to just have one big win in her international career after all the work she’s put in but like…it’s so weird how everyone fancies themselves an amateur judge but is only critical when it’s someone they don’t like.
