So she took away someone’s spot on the team and then quit. Great.
Head Star?
I think I see the problem.
So much for humility... Idiot.
I feel some leeway is due here from her existing track record. She’s proven her guts and tenacity for almost a decade. This is a bad mark on her legacy though. Phelps never quit on himself or teammates.
There’s no ‘I’ in TEAM..............................
True.
It's certainly taken a toll on Miss Lewinsky over the years.
Sounds like mental distress. I think some groups could be pressuring her to go woke. Remember, she is adopted and raised by white parents.
Everyone gets a trophy. You did great Simone, you’re the best, you’re wonderful, you’re so good that you don’t have to tolerate this nonsense.
Is that about it? So toxic.
She took on too much. Bottom line; she’s still just a kid.
Have the truly great ones ever caved like this? Bird? MJ? Magic? Brady? Nicholas? Woods? Gretzky? No. They live for the moment. They want the ball when the game is on the line.
Guess that GOAT leotard she was wearing is a done deal now.
She Lebron’d the rest of her team when they needed her most.
Never heard of her!
Hope her value in ads is reflected in her pocketbook.
LeBrons mini me
If you are a pro, you push thru. For you and your team.
Personally, if you look back over the week, I have noticed that the smile is gone...no makeup, to speak if, etc. She has not been herself. I wondered if she and her man broke up or had a serious argument. While I think she is in a class by herself, the spark has been lacking all week.
As for her remarks, I think you have to understand that under pressure, one doesn’t always come out with a well thought answer. When interviewed in the past she comes across very well, not conceited, but with a lot of confidence. Whatever got to her this week has thrown her off her game. I’m sad for her, but this does happen. “Life” happens and not always when there are so few consequences. Should she have realized that she was off her game earlier and given up her spot? Maybe and maybe not. Tenaciousness causes one to go on when it looks bad, and sometimes one pulls it out in spite of the problems.
I see what the problem is here.
Head case. She will be lionized as a hero. She withdrew so as not to hurt the team. Will she participate in the upcoming indvidual events including the all-around?
