Americans mask:
is it true the obviously-ChInA-run DO”J” had her brother
on a triple murder charge ... and let him go lightly
after she agreed to drop out so a ‘chinese looking girl’
could win?
You’ve got:
Pennant races galore in MLB.
NFL training camps opening up.
Both the NHL and NBA drafts.
The rest of the Olympics occurring.
And this quitter is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
What a brave hero, so brave. And stunning, and brave.
Another glaring example of the cultural dry rot.
She had problems getting through her routines and understood that she could seriously hurt herself if she kept at them.
But she didn't have somebody to counsel her on how best to express this to the public so she's attacked.
Just what we need to distract us while the Republic burns.
Now we have People taking sides because this Gal made a decision to withdraw from an Olympic Event for reasons known only to herself. I won’t attack her simply because I never walked in her shoes or made the sacrifices she has made to become proficient in her Sport.
She is either Brave or Selfish depending on your point of view. That’s it. Perhaps we should put up a Poll so this can get resolved and we can move on.
Disclaimer: I have not watched one minute of the Olympics and this situation does nothing to make me feel that I am making the wrong decision.
That being said, if she comes out and calls me a Racist because I’m a White Male and I support POTUS Trump, she can go F**k herself. Until then she gets the benefit of the doubt.
Just my $.02, your Mileage may vary.
Conspiracy theory #908289
BLM was blackmailing her to pull some kind of stunt in the medal ceremony.
“ Is America a country of hospitality or cruelty?”
America is a country of people, and historically America was the lunch table for the oddballs, and oddballs tend to be kind and ever on the lookout for breakout talent in their midst. Hospitality? Like what, in Middle Eastern countries? Cruelty, like what? In those very same countries?
We are a country of the grateful and the ungrateful I think.
And I hope Biles is able to get in a better headspace soon. She isn’t just the breakout talent, she is also a member of a society that has a lot of uncommonly kind people.
Americans can take a loser, but not a quitter.
The truth is she's done more by the age of 24 than ANYONE here commenting has done in their entire life.
There’s always people waiting to punish the successful if they are less than perfect. I’ve experienced this myself. Probably deep rooted issues with jealousy and self inadequacy.
Biles is already loaded down with gold from the last Olympics. She just realized she wasn’t at the top of her game. She’s smart.
In a paradigm bounded by hospitality and cruelty, nobody really belongs. Its just a place you visit and then do a Yelp! review.
Maybe its the West coast East coast thing, West being “nice” but not kind, and the East not bring “nice” but instead being kind.
And what is up with making literally EVERYTHING about abortion?!?
I wonder if it ever crossed her mind that pulling out as she did would cost her way more grief than flubbing a routine or two.
She named herself the greatest of all time - Goat. Obviously, she isn’t. Her over inflated ego and arrogance caused her to quit on her team. She can’t handle mistakes.
Reminds me a bit of the “no mas” episode of Roberto Duran. He never lived that down, and sadly she won’t either.
Interestingly they both had tough childhoods.
In a slap to the face of all those who came before and performed, some poorly, some not so, few quit but strived to forge on..
Biles is representative of the new generation of athlete activists , lost in space, twirling, twittering and tweaking, all the while the crowds cheer, fortunes amass, careers are made..
Some feel guilty over their success, others bemoan their miserable performances.. some just keep striving for the ‘Olympic Ideal’, whatever the heck that ever was.

I ask the question, what if she wasn’t black?
It seems to me, our media always wants to make excuses for black people. This doesn’t help anybody, especially black people in the long-run.
Obviously wrote it last month expecting a gold medal.
Simone Biles is the role model young girls/women need today; she has done her self, her country, and the gymnastic industry proud over the years. Unlike that pink-haired soccer player who won't even stand for her country, a traitor to her Nation.
