To attain Olympic qualifier level talent, gymnastics has been her whole life since grade school. I can’t imagine how many hours she’s spent training. There is a huge mental aspect to sports. My belief is she’s final facing the fact that she’s reached burnout.

People here at FR sure have gotten mean these last few years. I don’t think this athlete has ever shown any anti American symbolism. Yet many here flame her after she reached an athletic level most here could only dream of.

” I don’t think this athlete has ever shown any anti American symbolism.”

“With everyone speaking up and the traction that Ahmaud and George are getting, Breonna will be remembered. She’s going to find justice. They’re already reopening her case. I’m happy for that. But I just don’t understand. She was sleeping. How do you feel threatened when you’re a police officer and they’re sleeping?

Come on now. We tried peaceful protesting. Then Colin Kaepernick—he lost his job. He lost his career. They took his whole entire career away from that poor man.”

End of the day, she declared herself a/the GOAT, and quit when she had a bad day. GOATs don't do that. She deserves to be ridiculed for her hubris.

That's a good post. But no, you're misreading the room. What FReepers are disgusted with is the complete, intentional ruinization of both amateur and professional athletic competition in this century.

Rather than set the milestones how it happened, it is no mystery whatsoever that this woman has lived in a cocoon of agents, promoters, and coaches for the vast majority of her life and I would add to your correct "burnout" conclusion, that playing to an empty house has to be revealing to one's own psyche.

I think the NBA bubble threw LeBr0n off too -- that feral nitwit knows it's just a damn dirty game, but that's all he knows. Perhaps this young woman is smarter (wouldn't take much).

The only good news in all this is that a lot of these atheletes are scorning the wretched MSM after they finish (or do not finish), as did Simone until just this past couple of hours. Schadenfreude!
