2/7: CBS Weekend News

Savannah Guthrie made another emotional video plea on CBS Weekend News, urging viewers to support the 2026 Winter Olympics. The segment was part of a larger broadcast that also featured Hilary Knight, an American figure skater who is competing in the upcoming games.

Guthrie's message emphasized the importance of paying for American athletes' participation in the Olympics, citing the financial burden on families and the impact on athletes' careers. Her plea comes as the US Olympic Committee prepares to vote on whether to increase athlete compensation.

Meanwhile, Knight showcased her skills on the ice, highlighting her dedication and hard work. The video segment was part of a broader effort by CBS News to provide in-depth coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The broadcast also included segments on other sports and stories from around the world. Overall, the CBS Weekend News broadcast provided viewers with a mix of news, analysis, and human interest stories, all centered around the upcoming Winter Olympics.
 
I was just watching this thing on my grandma's laptop (lol) and I couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic for the old days when we actually cared about supporting our athletes 🀣. I mean, back in my day, we didn't need all these fancy broadcastings and videos to get us pumped up for the Olympics! We just kinda... watched them on TV and felt proud, you know? But, I guess times have changed, and people's lives are a bit more complicated now.

Anyway, Savannah Guthrie was super emotional as per usual (love her!), and Hilary Knight is a total rockstar on that ice πŸ’ͺ. It's great to see athletes like her getting the recognition they deserve. But, you know what's even better? When we can support them without breaking the bank πŸ€‘. It's crazy how much money goes into these events, and I'm all for increasing athlete compensation! Maybe then we can actually make a difference in their lives.

All in all, it was a great broadcast, and I'm excited to see more coverage of the Olympics. Fingers crossed we get some awesome results from our athletes this time around 🀞
 
🀩 I'm loving this! Savannah Guthrie is such an amazing journalist, she always brings so much heart to her stories. And Hilary Knight's video was honestly giving me ALL THE EMOTIONS πŸ’– - I can only imagine how tough it must be for athletes to compete at the highest level while also dealing with the financial struggles of their families. It's like, we get it, the Olympics are expensive, but we gotta support our athletes somehow! πŸ€‘ And I love that CBS News is trying to provide more in-depth coverage - it's so refreshing to see journalism that actually cares about the people behind the stories πŸ“°πŸ’•
 
omg i'm lowkey hyped about Savannah Guthrie's emotional video plea for the 2026 Winter Olympics πŸ€©πŸ… she's literally giving me all the feels and making me wanna support those American athletes in a major way πŸ’ͺ meanwhile hilary knight slaying it on the ice is giving me LIFE πŸŽΏπŸ’¨ can't wait to see what else CBS News has got planned for the Olympics, it looks like they're really going all out with the coverage πŸ“ΊπŸ‘€
 
I'm still not sure about this Olympic thing πŸ€”. I mean, athletes are super dedicated to their sports, but shouldn't they already be covered financially? It's like, we pay for our own healthcare and education, so why do they need taxpayer money too? πŸ€‘ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-olympic-committee-to-vote-on-athlete-compensation/

And what about the impact on their families? I feel bad for them, but isn't there a way to support them without putting all the burden on the athletes themselves? 🀝
 
I'm getting so tired of these emotional pleas about funding athletes 🀯. It's like, can't they see that everyone's struggling to make ends meet? I feel bad for Hilary Knight and Savannah Guthrie, but shouldn't we be focusing on helping our everyday people instead? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ We're talking about increasing athlete compensation, which is one thing, but what about the average Joe who can barely afford a roof over his head? It's just not right. And what's with the constant emphasis on the Olympics? Can't we do something for the environment or education? Priorities, people! 🌎
 
I'm so down for the US to support our athletes in the 2026 Winter Olympics 🀩. I mean, think about it, these people are putting their bodies on the line, risking injuries and whatnot, just to represent our country and make us proud. And honestly, it's not like they're getting paid squat right now πŸ˜”. The financial burden on families is real, and it's only fair that we step up to help them out.

I love how Savannah Guthrie spoke out about this issue - she's really passionate about it, and her emotional plea got me pumped up to support our athletes too πŸŽ‰. And Hilary Knight's segment was amazing, I mean who wouldn't want to watch a figure skater in action? 😍 It just goes to show how dedication and hard work can pay off.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that supporting our athletes is not just about the money - it's about recognizing their sacrifices and hard work πŸ’ͺ. So yeah, I'm all for increasing athlete compensation and making sure they get the support they deserve πŸ™Œ. Bring on the 2026 Winter Olympics!
 
I'm low-key worried about the US Olympic Committee's decision to vote on increasing athlete compensation. I mean, Savannah Guthrie is trying to bring awareness to this issue, but it feels like we're already investing so much into these athletes... I remember when Shaun White won gold at the 2018 Olympics, there were thousands of people watching him grow up and train – we're basically paying for their childhoods lol. Anyway, I think Knight's message was pretty inspiring, though! She's got that fire in her eyes
 
omg i feel so bad for these american figure skaters πŸ€• they work so hard & have to pay for themselves? it's not right πŸ’” that's why i think the US Olympic committee should definitely increase athlete compensation ⚑️ it's gonna make a huge difference in their lives. and Savannah Guthrie's video was super emotional & inspiring 😊, i loved seeing Hilary Knight in action on the ice too πŸ’οΈ
 
πŸ€” I'm not sure if Savannah Guthrie's emotional plea is really going to make a difference in how much funding we get for American athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics... πŸ… We've seen this story play out before and it doesn't always end well for our athletes. Still, I appreciate her passion and dedication to the cause 😊. Hilary Knight's segment was really inspiring, though - that girl is on fire! πŸ”₯ It's great to see American athletes like her getting the recognition they deserve πŸ‡ΊπŸ…ΏοΈ. Can we please just hope that the US Olympic Committee does the right thing for once? 🀞
 
πŸ€” I feel like we're seeing a lot more of this emotional appeals to support our athletes in major competitions lately. It's great that Savannah Guthrie is using her platform to bring attention to the financial struggles faced by these individuals and their families πŸ…. But at the same time, it also feels like there's an expectation for viewers to just... give? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Like, what's the plan here? Are we just going to keep throwing money at the Olympics without questioning how that money is being spent or where it's coming from?

And let's not forget about Hilary Knight's incredible talent on the ice! πŸ’₯ But isn't her value as an athlete also tied to her ability to attract viewers and advertisers for these broadcasts? It's a strange symbiosis, where our enthusiasm for her success helps pay for her participation in the Olympics. πŸ“Ί
 
I'm still trying to figure out why we need to vote for our own athletes to participate in the Olympics πŸ€”... I mean, I get that it's expensive, but can't they just fund it through sponsors or something? It seems like a lot of money is being thrown around already, and now we're voting on how much more to give them? πŸ€‘

But seriously, Savannah Guthrie's video was really moving. I love that she brought attention to the fact that this isn't just about the athletes' personal goals, but also about what it means for their families πŸ πŸ’•. It's not just about winning a medal or having a good time (although those things are important too! πŸ˜„).

I wish more people were aware of how much goes into making an athlete compete at this level... all the sacrifices they make and the pressure they're under. πŸ’ͺ🏽 I think that's what makes Savannah Guthrie's message so compelling - she's not just asking for money, she's asking us to care about their stories too πŸ“Ί.
 
I'm not sure why we're always shelling out millions for athletes to compete in these events πŸ€”... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that they're passionate about their sport, but come on! If they can't make ends meet or pay for their own training, maybe we should be asking ourselves if this is really worth the financial burden πŸ’Έ. And what's up with the system where they only receive a small stipend from the USOC? It seems like we're paying them to compete rather than genuinely supporting their careers πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Anyway, I guess it's all about the exposure and the pride in representing our country on the international stage... but can't we also make sure athletes are fairly compensated for their efforts? πŸ…
 
omg i was so hyped for the olympics back in 2018 lol remember when usa won that gold medal in speed skating πŸŽοΈβ„οΈ now savannah guthrie is talking about how hard it is to support our athletes financially idk why we didnt think of this before lol anyway, hilary knight looks so cool on ice πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ i still cant get over the fact that she's competing in 2026 πŸŽ‰ i wish there were more segments like hers where people could see the dedication and hard work behind those olympic athletes πŸ’ͺ
 
I think Savannah Guthrie's plea is really touching πŸ’•. As someone who's been following the Olympic games for years, I can see how much it costs to participate and support athletes. I'm not surprised that many families struggle financially when their loved ones are competing. It's great that CBS News is covering this story in-depth πŸ“°. At the same time, I think athlete compensation should be a bigger priority too πŸ€”. I mean, these people put their bodies on the line for us to enjoy our favorite sports events! They deserve more than just emotional support 😊.
 
Wow! 🀩 I think Savannah Guthrie is doing a great job of bringing attention to an important issue that affects American athletes. It's interesting how she's connecting the dots between family financial burdens and career impact on these talented athletes... Athletes like Hilary Knight who are giving it their all on the ice, totally deserving our support! πŸ’οΈ
 
OMG u guys!! 🀩 Savannah Guthrie is literally giving me LIFE with her emotional video plea about supporting our American athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics! πŸ’– I mean, can you even imagine how stressful it must be for those families to foot the bill for their kids' participation? It's so inspiring to see someone like Hilary Knight who's dedicated her life to figure skating and is totally crushing it on the ice πŸŽΏπŸ’¨. We gotta get behind our athletes and support them financially, you know? πŸ’ͺ Let's make some noise and show those US Olympic Committee folks that we care! πŸ“’
 
I'm so down for supporting our American athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics πŸ…πŸŽ‰! Savannah Guthrie's emotional plea really drove home the point that these athletes are more than just competitors - they're families, with kids and loved ones who are counting on them to provide. It's crazy to think about how much financial pressure those athletes' families must be under, not just from training costs but also from missed income while competing.

It's awesome that Hilary Knight got some screen time too - she's such an inspiration! Her dedication and hard work are truly admirable. And I love how CBS News is bringing in-depth coverage to the Olympics - it's so important we get a well-rounded look at what's going on behind the scenes.
