Yes. Bile’s knew she didn’t have her A game, so she just up and quit. She’s a wuss.
We won't be able to get her face off of our TVs until they don't need her any longer.
She's going to be making a lot of money off of this, I'm sure. An acting gig?
Should have to return all the taxpayer money she received
The sad part of this is, despite all her accomplishments, gold medals, gymnastic moves named after her, Biles will be principally remembered for quitting on her team, family & friends, country, and herself in the most important moment of her athletic career.
Think for what gymnast Kerri Strugg is remembered: vaulting and landing on a bad leg as the USA women won the team gold.
This is going to hurt Biles’ “brand” — no more talk of GOAT and likely a lot sponsors not wanting their products & services to be associated with a quitter.
Want to know who I blame for this, China.
The Kung Flu Furstercluck has screwed up more things that we can ever imagine.
It is responsible for putting Joseph Stolen and his Party into Power and has cascaded into every part of our Lives.
I know nothing of this young woman. I can’t read her mind. I believe her decision came after her realization that despite all her training, she was making rookie errors that were not the types of things an Olympian level Athlete would make.
Had the Olympics gone forward last year, I am confident we wouldn’t be having this conversation. These people train to compete in a specific period of time. They continue to age, and that is their worst enemy.
The Kung Flu has done more damage to our Country and the world than we can ever imagine. By all accounts it’s worse than January 6th although the DEMONCRATS would disagree.
“We wholeheartedly support Simone’s decision and applaud her bravery in prioritizing her well-being”
What in the heck is BRAVE about putting yourself first - above teammates, country and all those who have supported you the last few years? What is BRAVE about focusing only on oneself?

I disagree. She recognized that she was not able to compete at the Olympic level and stepped aside to allow others their shot.
Right thing to do when your “head isn’t in the game.”
Ok fine, leave her alone, and don’t mention her anymore.
But I have the feeling that’s not what Simone and NBC want.
I believe Miss Biles is showing her amateurism, nothing more or less. Were she a pro, she would be in breach, IMHO.
Whatever the reason for her departure, Simone Biles will be known as the gymnast that quit her team at the Olympics.
Good at jumping and twisting, but does she have a champion’s heart.
(Her courage shows, yet again, why she is a role model for so many.”)
Yup a role model all right... of what not to do. The time for “taking care of herself” should have been days and weeks before the competition and I think I blame her less than I do the older coaches and advisors who should have had a clue and saw this coming and held her back from competition.
That said...I’ll go with what Patton said...”Americans hate a loser..”

role-model?
Oh yeah.
She would never make it on a relay team.
I’d appreciate her life story,, but really?
Quit?
