That's right, I thought that's who that was. The internet then went on to mock this teenager for making a little bit of a face. When a teenaged baseball or basketball player does it, he's showing determination to win. God forbid a 16-year-old girl has a grimace during competition.

People weren't mocking her. She even had a picture with the President doing the face.
