It was HOW SHE QUIT that was the problem. One of the greatest running backs of all time, Barry Sanders quit during his prime. Sugar Ray quit at the top. I have nothing but great admiration and respect for both.

But Biles quit half way through the Olympics because she couldn’t deal with not winning. She let down her team, she robbed someone else the chance to compete.

“She let down her team, she robbed someone else the chance to compete.”

Thats the crucial thing. Above all, this sort of event requires personal honor, which some like to call “sportsmanship”. Its not just about the personal success of the athlete, or her “feelings”.

“Sugar Ray quit at the top.”

You are clueless when it comes to boxing.
