I imagine the pressure of being a black olympic star could be overwhelming in a sport not known for black gymnasts.

I'm giving her a break.....

She’s a selfish snowflake. She took up a spot on the team and quit when her Ritalin ran out. How many talented athletes were vying for that spot, and would have loved a chance to represent our country?

I am giving her a break as well. The Olympics is entertainment; not a national security issue. This is why I have no interest in professional sports.

I see both sides. I see the Isaiah Thomas 42-points-on-a-sprained-ankle/Keri Strug vault-with-a-fracture side, and I understand that if you aren’t in a perfect mental position in this sport you could end up paralyzed. Don’t know where I come down.
