“Why are so many here so quick to criticize this gymnast?”

Because she’s a lying, selfish bitch?
Which part don’t you get? Her teammates hate her guts. With good reason.

Is it possible that USA was able to salvage the Team silver because Biles withdrew? I donā€™t know how the team competition gets scored.

That's what I was wondering, too. She does state that she didn't want to cost the team a medal: Biles Explains

I don't understand exactly how the team is scored, either, but Biles sounds pretty humble in that video. She's criticizing her own performance and praising her teammates.

Who the hell cares? Sports are so yesterday, thanks to wokeness. She seems like a spoiled brat, and being a team player isn’t fun for her.

Keeping this in the news just gives her the attention she wants. Don’t encourage her.

She doesn’t sound like a sore loser. She stood on the sidelines to cheer on her teammates. In an interview, she blamed herself for “screwups” and said she didn’t want to hold the team back because her teammates have worked so hard.

A sore loser would blame other people. She didn’t do that. She blamed herself.

The problem when an athlete ā€˜quitsā€™ is they never recover from it.

Well, that is something I'd agree with. She hurt herself by dropping out. She might be able to rebound later, though.

Replaced by a white chick? Thatā€™s gonna set the shtruggle back a couple of decades.

If the white girl earns a gold medal, will she have to give it to Simone? Thatā€™s how it works with everything else in society.

Yeah, the team (coaches) probably did force the issue.

Not really. Pampered show horses always act up. We just now hear of it.
Sports are good for some people, some it feeds all the bad in their ego.

“Except you donā€™t know what her teammates think.”

You don’t but the reports from them say otherwise. My only question is if an individual dares to go on the record.

Everyone knows what will happen to that person. Declared wacist.

We wholeheartedly support Simone’s decision and applaud her bravery in prioritizing her well-being. Her courage shows, yet again, why she is a role model for so many.”


Let me guess: we will start giving our Olympic losers gold, silver and bronze “non-participation” medals.

I hope her courage inspires Uncle Joe to do the right thing and resign too.

“I put little stock in anonymous, unsourced reports.”

In this cancel culture environment, would you tell your daughter to speak on the record how the whole team hates the selfish princess’ guts?

Doubt it.

Imagine Tom Brady refusing to play the 2nd half of the Super Bowl because of ā€œemotionalā€ issues. He would be blasted unmercifully.
