Biles did NOT let anyone down or send a bad message to anyone. She is playing a sport for OUR ENTERTAINMENT! That is it. She worked hard to get where she is and then decided she didn’t want to do it anymore.
Then she could have done that before Olympic trials thereby allowing the next qualified athlete, who also had worked years and years to be good enough to make the team, a chance to compete and fulfill their own dreams.
What she did by not doing that was incredibly selfish...long before what you may or may not think about her quitting mid competition.
As for that, let's be honest...people are flaking for her because she's a woman. That's it. Had this been another athlete who were calling THEMSELVES the GOAT and they quit mid competition and that athlete had a penis, the public would rightfully be calling them out.
Either women are strong and brave and powerful and should be treated equally, or they shouldn't. Pick one.
