5 key takeaways from the NBC documentary on the Larry Nassar scandal 

Aly Raisman at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

It was never about money

Like I said on the previous takeaway slide, I'm not going to go into this like I have in six other articles, of which four are also published on Sportskeeda. I have been very critical of the critical comments regarding Larry Nassar's victims that basically state that they have no one to blame but themselves for one reason or another.

In addition to the reason discussed on the previous slide, these reasons have also included "they just went their time in the spotlight" and "they just want to stay relevant", with both ultimately leading to "it's all about the money".

As expected, these reasons could not be further from the truth, and we now know with absolute certainty -- beyond a shadow of a doubt -- that this is the case.

Aly Raisman revealed that USA Gymnastics offered her a settlement agreement that had confidentiality in it, but she did not agree to sign it.

Here is what Raisman had to say about the matter, according to NBC.

"They did offer me a settlement, but with confidentiality in it, so obviously I said no. From the very beginning, I knew that I wanted to talk about this."

McKayla Maroney, who did end up being forced into signing a confidentiality agreement with USA Gymnastics and being paid $1.25 million by them for it, was also not interested in money.

Here is what Maroney had to say to her father about the matter back when discussing a settlement agreement involving a non-disclosure agreement, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“Dad, I can’t handle this. Money isn’t that important.”
