Why are some people making Simone Biles a political story?

rabble rabble team rabble rabble teammates rabble quitting is for losers. A damn girl from Auburn took her spot I was stoked.

I mean, she's just a kid having some issues. She didn't disrespect the flag or her country.

It’s more on the media. If Biles wanted to drop out, that’s her decision, but don’t tell all of us she’s a hero for doing so.
She is neither a villain nor a hero.

She didn't disrespect the flag or her country.

Isn't quitting your country's team when they need you the most kinda disrespectful?


I mean she let the Russians win.

Exactly. People melt down and choke. It happens. She was right to step aside if she was going to screw it up for the team. But, she shouldn't be made a hero for it.

My sister just sent me some video from Michael Rapaport about how it was all about race.

Some people hold a racial grudge for whatever reason.

Par for the course.

Here’s what I have to contribute to this.

I get that something recent might have happened mentally/emotionally, and she just can’t go. Totally respect that.

But…. I hope it’s something recent that happened, and not something that’s been weighing on her for a while, otherwise she shouldn’t have made the commitment to be on the team, and she should have given the spot to someone who could compete.

The official narrative was that is was going be the Olympics of Black Girl Magic.

But Naomi Osaka got her arse handed to her by a Czech woman nobody ever heard of and Biles screwed up vault and then quit.

Of course, it doesn't look good when it's the non-diverse white chicks from Eastern Europe doing the winning.

quote:

“Football man won’t standup!!”
“Baseball team change name!!”
“Gymnast lady won’t compete!!”

---

“Football man won’t play because of ignorance regarding racism.”
“Baseball team afraid of people not offended by name.”
“Gymnast quits on team”

“I’m totally not a snowflake y’all”

It's not a political story.

It's more a story about the difference in mindset between different generations.

When I was a kid if you weren't hopelessly injured you competed.

You don't quit when the going gets tough. You don't quit because you get nervous. Champions face these things every day. Because they have a chance to win.

Losers have no stress because they aren't going to win.

Anyways I think many find it interesting that the snowflake generation quit.

And then when people started calling h her brave, well you have old school people who think that is moronic and liberals who ask have mental issues saying she is brave.
