Mama Says
Let’s mention that Cindy, Allison’s mom, also reflected about the effects all of Allison’s fame had on her. “I think I saw her grow up faster. She saw how the world can be, saw how some people can be really cruel, some people can be great. I think she realized, ‘I can’t be so concerned about what everyone else thinks; I have to pursue my career, my dream, and my sport.'”

It’s no secret that male athletes don’t have to worry over such mundane things as looks. Just about everyone is focused on their ability and skill. Even Stokke said, “I’ve never seen this viral thing happen to a male athlete who isn’t also already the best at what they do.” She goes on to add, “Yes, male athletes are also hailed for being incredibly attractive, but they’re usually top-ranked in the world, too.”
