She has thrown her support behind the athlete who is now under Olympic investigation over the gesture.

Why don’t these freaks of nature just move to Cuba of Venezuela and compete on the team of a country they believe in?

Black athletes....never seen a more ungrateful and disrespectful bunch. They should move to country that they can respect and be grateful to live in.

Silver medal....2nd place?

Like kissing your sister.

Supported by Biles who is a quitter.

All around the epitome of stupid.

Somebody with more time and talent than I should do a send up of gymnastics type commentators and judges doing the podium protest color commentary and analysis.

“..... and so Simone does a right fist pump pirouette, transitioning into left arm black power salute and then finishes up sticking a diving right knee knee for a perfect finish. I don't know, Jean , but we might get straight 10s on this one, unless the Russian Judge pulls one of their tricks and gives low marks”

Next time, on to the Hunger Games

Shouldn’t Wakanda just have its own team? Why do they keep training as USA and wear our costumes while competing?

Didn't see it. In fact I haven't seen a single second of Olympics coverage. It would be hard to calculate how many ads for Porsche,Mediterranean cruise lines and Rolex watches I've missed...but somehow I'll get by! ;-)

Looks like something straight out of Mad Max The Road Warrior.

Hollywood is a piker compared to the insanity of living in the USA today.

‘If you are black, LGBTQIA+ Or mentally struggling, this one is for you.“

I see they have added a new group of the “oppressed” to their ever growing
coalition of losers……..”the mentally struggling”.

A blanket statement condemning all of them? You sound like a Democrat. Just last night I listened to a black American sprinter talking about how proud she was to run for her country.

And the ringleader of all the anti American crap is Megan Rapinoe. Checked out her color recently?

Could someone please post the image of the Outer Party members raising their arms in exactly this configuration in the movie "1984" (with Richard Burton)?

Another interesting thing about Simone Biles, it’s amazing what a little criticism to the GOAT’s reputation will do to clear up all the mental issues that caused her to pull out of the team competition, it was announced this morning she’s coming back for the balance beam gymnastics event, if you are having balance problems I’m not sure you could perform on the beam
