Well, the media has a new gymnastics star to replace Simone. She and her family may be too pro-USA for the US media, though.

Exactly. I have NO doubt that the Hmong’s detested the Commies and our media can’t have that. Oh no no no

I have to admit that until this week I barely knew who Simone Biles was, and then all of sudden this young woman is being hailed as some kind of courageous heroine ... for backing out of competition? “Oh, she’s so brave to put her mental health first. Such courage to admit that she’s under a lot of stress.”

What the ... ? This is the freakin’ Olympics. Every single athlete there is under “stress.” Only in a culture of snowflakes and naval-gazers is it somehow heroic to back out of even trying. The worst aspect of that is that some other gymnast didn’t get to make the trip to Tokyo because Biles was wasting a spot of the team.

daughter of Laotian refugees who fled the country in the wake of the Vietnam War

Many of these refugees know what they fled was horrible and respect the freedoms we have in America. I hope her family is one of these.

I don’t remember Simone being like that.

I am really happy for her, looking at the pictures of the family and friends gathered to watch brought tears of joy to my eyes.

Racist. The judges didn’t want a black woman to win gold

And this is why I was wrong when I said I was not going to watch any Olympics because of the wokesters BLM female soccer team and NBLMA basketball. I was always going to watch rugby 7s but catch more of it since my frau enjoys watching it. So many US Olympians doing well and showing pride of country. I will not let one pink haired cyka ruin watching real Americans compete.
Still won’t watch NFL or NBA which have been dead to me for years.

Once again an Asian American succeeds where a Black cannot.
Sort of a microcosm of the USA.

Anyone from southeast Asia will tell you how good race relations are in the USA. In S.E.A. every ethnic group HATES the other. Well, in all of Asia really. and in Africa. Well, in most places except the USA. Other places like Canada pretend they are better on race, yet how often do you see a black politician in Canada or Germany? Japan may be the absolute worst but China rivals them. It’s hard to pick the worst since tribalism and bigotry are the human norms across the world. Ever listen to an Irishman from County Clare talk about those scum from County Cork? Lol.

The key quote in the whole article regarding her grandparents move to the US: ‘We know they did it for a reason, so they could be safe and their kids could have a good life,’ Sunisa said of her grandparents’ reasons for fleeing. ‘It’s something very cool for my generation to know they did that for us. And it was all worth it.’

Outstanding
