I sincerely hope it's not injury. Neither the groin nor the hip that I've heard whispered.So do we know why?

Evan Bates plays the guitar, too.I’m going through the team in my head and I think the only one who will get any use of the guitar is Zach. Everyone gets a headache of a prize to get home.

Playing guitar is one of Evan’s big hobbies.I’m going through the team in my head and I think the only one who will get any use of the guitar is Zach. Everyone gets a headache of a prize to get home.
Maybe they can get good money when they sell them though?I’m going through the team in my head and I think the only one who will get any use of the guitar is Zach. Everyone gets a headache of a prize to get home.
Nathan plays the guitar as well and I believe he has an electric guitar already.Maybe they can get good money when they sell them though?
I imagine the organizers have no idea who plays the guitar or not. Maybe it was an odd gift, but there are women (and non-binary) out there who play guitar, so I don't think it's correct to say guitars are "male-specific."This feels like a very male specific gift given all the men* playing guitar but none of the women. I wonder how that came about.
*and they, just saw Timothy plays
No, but male guitar players outnumber female guitar players five to one among amateurs and by much more among professionals. I ask why this is all the time and get nothing but blank stares in return.How lovely a gift, whether you play or not. Nothing male-specific about it. I used to play when I was a lot younger, and I'm a woman. I don't think I'm the only one either!
Yes and have coding seminars during ice makes waiting for the TV schedule to catch up.Maybe next year, since San Jose is Silicon Valley adjacent ish (right?), they could give them a fancy computer!
If that works people need to start thinking about gifting women some drum sets because I'm pretty sure there are even fewer female drummers than guitarists.No, but male guitar players outnumber female guitar players five to one among amateurs and by much more among professionals.

Maybe this will encourage some of the women to play.
I'm for it! Everyone should play something.If that works people need to start thinking about gifting women some drum sets because I'm pretty sure there are even fewer female drummers than guitarists.
I would expect half the audience to be coding away at every opportunity making it a “work day”. My pager, yes a pager as we still used them in 2014, went off a dozen times during Boston Nationals. It would have been glorious to have rink WiFi and just be able to deal with things at my seat.Yes and have coding seminars during ice makes waiting for the TV schedule to catch up.

Think one of the best: Bonnie RaittAnd this sounds like a very sexist statement assuming only man play a guitar. I know lots of women who play guitars. Maybe you should get out more
See Prancer's comment. I know women play the guitar. There just aren't as many and there certainly aren't many female guitarists on the US Olympic team. It definitely felt like a more meaningful gift for one group over the other for this specific group receiving the gift. That was the point to my comment.And this sounds like a very sexist statement assuming only man play a guitar. I know lots of women who play guitars. Maybe you should get out more
That already happened at a competition this season -- GP Italia, I think!Ohhh I am into speculating about this now - what's the most interesting themed gift they could get from various places. They should do Nationals in Wisconsin and give them a giant chunk of cheese. Reminiscent of those green jackets the winners got from Graz.
Speaking of female guitarists, has there ever been a senior-level program to music by Charo?No, but male guitar players outnumber female guitar players five to one among amateurs and by much more among professionals. I ask why this is all the time and get nothing but blank stares in return.
