I bet the New York Times wishes they had never said anything about Olivia Dunne.
The LSU gymnast, who was attacked by a columnist at the New York Times for making a couple of million dollars off Name, Image & Likeness deals, recently hit back at the publication when she her Christmas wishlist and took a shot at the Times in the process.
“I’d rather a lump of coal,” the talented gymnast wrote on TikTok while mocking a Christmas wishlist that included: being on the New York Times, a sugar daddy, more friends and a PS5.
Before that video, Dunne posted another video in her LSU leotard while mouthing the words, “If you don’t like me, that’s fine, but, you know, watch your mouth.”
Dunne’s growing social media presence was recently chronicled by The Times. The publication noted, “The new flood of money — and the way many female athletes are attaining it — troubles some who have fought for equitable treatment in women’s sports and say that it rewards traditional feminine desirability over athletic excellence.”
Dunne has become one of the most influential student-athletes as she continues to ink endorsement deals following the NCAA’s name, image, and likeness (NIL) rule change last summer.
