As long as she drops out of the individual events, I’ll give her a pass. The team has alternates who would love to taker her spot. Female brains do not work anything like male brains when it comes to emotional issues. She has brought glory to herself and the USA for many years.
It’s like the NE Patriots, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. They can all suck for the next 10 years because of their glorious past 20 years. They get a pass.
This is the the equivalent of Tom Brady quitting at halftime of the 2017 Superbowl because they were down 24-3.
But true GOATS like Brady thrive when the pressure is greatest. His efforts in the last 5 minutes of that game was the epitome of GOAT performance.
Brady, Bird, MJ, Magic, etc. they lived for the big moment and wanted the ball. That’s what a GOAT does. They have no concept they might lose.
The New York Yankees are another example of living on their reputation.
