Americans are fine with someone who loses, they will not tolerate a quitter.

“,,, they will not tolerate a quitter “

Yes they will. This is a much different America than it used to be, when Biles threw out the mental health defense she became an object of pity and sympathy for the media that promoted her 24/7, it’s just now the press has a new angle, they will spout her bravery and admitting she needs a mental health break.

I keep thinking about Kerri Strug and how she did her final vault on a bad ankle. THAT was courage and an indomitable spirit! Bela Karolyi was not liked by a lot of people, but he got results, and he didn’t suffer quitters.
