CommCore CEO, Andrew Gilman was quoted in the PR News article, “USA Gymnastics, USOC, MSU and the Nassar Sentencing: Behind the Messaging,” regarding the statements released by both USA Gymnastics and USOC during Larry Nassar, former doctor for Team USA Gymnastics, sentencing.
Here’s what he said:
“I think these statements were written by a lawyer,” says Gilman. “It’s better than just ‘no comment,’ but if I’m a gymnast or a family member, this does not make me feel warm and fuzzy.” Nor does it give any indication of what is going to be done to prevent this in the future.
“It’s relatively easy and formulaic, at this point, to put out statement,” Gilman says. “The U.S. Olympic Committee’s statement is much more in depth and more specific.”
