I'm not really a fan of dumping on someone like Wallam. We're all compromised individuals, enmeshed as we are in various exploitative structures, be they environmental, political, social, or economic. You can't really expect folks to live in a cave simply to eliminate all compromises. This seems like a variation of the False Dilemma logical fallacy.
Sportspeople who are part of a team or sport that accepts commercial sponsorship are more conspicuously compromised than most. One could argue such sports sold their soul a long time ago. That doesn't mean that such sportspeople should simply shut up and say nothing. The optics of the Wallam situation aren't great. I wish she hadn't back flipped.
