#8 - USA Gymnastics tried to keep it quiet (continued)
McKayla Maroney did end up violating this agreements, but USA Gymnastics had no way of fining her if they wanted to save face, which was the whole purpose behind making her sign the non-disclosure agreement to begin with.
The organization also offered Aly Raisman a confidentiality settlement agreement, but she refused to sign it knowing that she both wanted and needed to speak up about the sexual assault that she was forced to endure at the hands of Nassar.
While USA Gymnastics denied using non-disclosure agreements in all cases except in the case of Maroney, two settlements say otherwise. This is not a surprise considering the fact that they initially claimed that they did not try to silence Maroney. Who knows what else they could be potentially attempting to cover up?
