You are lying sack of sh#t. I never, ever said there was no chanced of breaking one's neck in gymnastics or any other sport . YOU'RE A LIAR. Stop posting Bible verses on your profile.

What I said, correctly, is that the risk of serious injury is greater in many other sports as is the rate of in injury. I just backed that up with statistics.

And, let's just remind everyone who you're defending -- a social justice warrior that hates Trump. So, keep digging that hole:

Simone Biles is speaking candidly about athletes and their right to use their platforms to address topics and issues beyond their sport.

On Wednesday, after pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. amid the meeting to ratify the Electoral College presidential election votes, the 23-year-old athlete tweeted, "Embarrassed but not surprised disgusted but not surprised sad but not surprised angry but not surprised speechless but not surprised."

She later responded to a message from Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and echoed his sentiments about athletes forming and sharing their opinions on political and social issues.

"Stop saying stick to football like that’s our only purpose on this earth," Jefferson, 21, tweeted. "We (football players) have every right to speak on whatever we feel no matter the situation."

There is a chance of anyone breaking their neck at any time whether it be in sports or in real life.

But, it is extremely RARE in gymnastics or any other sporting event.

Her "mental health issues" do not put her at greater risk of serious injury. They only put her at risk of a poor performance.

She conned suckers like you into believing her when she was just looking for any excuse to quit because of a poor performance.

It's overwhelmingly liberals siding with her because she is an Trump=hating, BLM-supporting social justice warrio.

This is really to easy. Your comments are in bold.

You've lost any credibility you may have had on this topic and you have proven YOU are the liar....or else a psycho....or both.

I'm out. I don't interact with lying psychos like you.

I’m fine with her saying no, if she doesn’t feel up to a performance that could break her neck. She should say no.

There is no chance of her breaking her neck. There are pads everywhere. Skate boarding skiing and pro wrestling all have far more dangers than gymnastics.

She quit on her team because she didn't want to embarrass herself.

True GOATS (greatest of all-time) suck it up under pressure. Michael Jordan lead a team to a championship while playing with the flu. Tom Brady won a Super Bowl last year playing with a torn MCL. Kirk Gibson hit a game-winning home run hitting with an injured leg.
