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.
Everything is backwards. Heroes are called scum and scum are now called heroes. The more corrupt a person, the more he or she is lauded by the press and govt. If you see someone being attacked in the press, you can almost bank on them being a good and decent person. 60 minutes has done this since day one and its success spread to the entire press. There are no good people any more at CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc etc. All are wreckers who go after decent people and organizations and laud the most evil and corrupt ones.
