People–Anthony Ammirati knows you’re talking about him — he just wishes it was for a different reason.
The French pole vaulter went viral on Aug. 3 after a video of one of his pole vault attempts from the Paris Olympics made it appear like he knocked down the crossbar with his “bulge.”
In reality, Ammirati failed the jump before his crotch hit the bar — he first hit it with his shins, followed by his knees.
While acting as Division Commander of the 101st Airborne Division troops defending Bastogne, Belgium, during World War II’s Battle of the Bulge, General Anthony McAuliffe was asked whether he thought Jeffrey Epstein had committed suicide. He famously responded with a single-word, “Nuts!”. Pressed further, he was asked if he thought that Hillary Clinton had had Epstein killed. The General pondered that for a moment, then wryly said he would rather fight an overwhelming number of Germans, in ball-freezing cold, with little food or ammunition and no hope of reinforcements, than speculate on the answer to that question.
