For one, why should anyone care? Its her life her decision.


Wrong! She is not there representing herself. She is there to represent America and her teammates.

It's her neck man.

I can’t even stick with a crossword puzzle, having never finished one. I sure as hell can’t judge her for her decision. I certainly don’t think it taints her past accomplishments (I know, I said “taint”).

Ok, she broke down, pulled out and it's turned into something else, some media horsechit. She ain't in a wheelchair. It's all good. Team got silver. If she'd stayed in and fuucked up another routine they'd got zilch. Stop convoluting her story with others. There ain't another like her. Yes, she was that awesome and commanded the sport. For fuucks sake she's 24, ancient for a gymnast, and the last lady on the team that had that perv doctor. Maybe cut some slack damnit.

Any of ya'll world class at anything? Well, guess what she was. So there. LOL



There it is!

No, I did not fail to see that. I was making a point.

Call it Karma that Lee stepped up and won the gold! I'm sure Biles will forever regret her decision, but I'm sure she will never admit it.

Never said there was ... so you think she should break her neck for your entertainment?
Its a fricken "sport" not a gladiator blood challenge.

How about give your best and win anyway?

Maybe you go back to the idea that it is a high honor to represent your country in the Olympic Games?

Naw, that would be racist/fascist/imperialist I’m sure.😕
if you know you're not going to be score by the same standard as others for the same competition no matter how much of you best you give you arent going to win when the judges have already determiend you to be too good. when your Country doesnt stand up for you, the one representing it, who has lost the "high honor"

It's ok, lil'Simone has been #1 +P+ for years. She didn't break her neck, it's all good. And someone else did get to compete


Yes you are right. LOL That's what I have to tell my wife. Then let her get the last word. Go ahead.... Or not.

Is that what happened? I honestly don't know as I haven't been following. I'm glad the soccer team lost (bunch of woke bastids). I had no idea Simone was woke, she's very good and hoped she'd do well.


yes. the judges determined her to be too good, and so reaful that competitors would hurt themselves trying to compete with her that they changed how they were going to score her

So fire her. What? She’s not contractually obligated to do a god damned thing for you? Then shut the f*ck up.

Snowflake? Safe place? Kind of like people who need a safe place when they see election results? Bitch, please.

She is a quitter. Typical for what she is. Someone says her mind separated from her body.. Typical.

Yeah, she's a quitter..

"Biles is the gymnast with the most World medals (25) and most World gold medals (19), having surpassed Vitaly Scherbo's record 23 World medals by winning her 24th and 25th, both gold, at the 2019 competition in Stuttgart.[7] She is the female gymnast with the most World all-around titles (5). Biles is the sixth woman to win an individual all-around title at both the World Championships and the Olympics, and the first gymnast since Lilia Podkopayeva in 1996 to hold both titles simultaneously. She is the tenth female gymnast and first American female gymnast to win a World medal on every event, and the first female gymnast since Daniela Silivaș in 1988 to win a medal on every event at a single Olympic Games or World Championships, having accomplished this feat at the 2018 World Championships in Doha.[8]

You're right, she's not like most Americans, especially you.

I think she lost self confidence and didn't want to get hurt really bad
and\or be humiliated. I don't see how they learn that stuff without major
injuries anyhow.

Any subjective “sport” will never be fair.

You have to pay the dues ......time.....

Two equal performances is not a tie if one is new to the sport.

The one with more time in wins.

Looks like you're into women's gymnastics SBTCO. I'm not. She flat quit.. maybe so her team could not win gold? Maybe so she could be the only American gymnast to win gold by competing in all the individual events coming up?

I do know she let her team and country down. I do know she quit.
