This is the thing that makes absolutely zero sense when racism is brought up about athletes.

These guys will cheer on black athletes for all their other favorite teams with no issues at all. But for some reason this one black athlete is where the line gets drawn lol

This is as stupid as the "I have a black friend" or the "They employee black people" low IQ level of reasoning.

I can imagine slave owners long ago saying they don't hate those dark people, because they feed, own and "employ" them

Maybe its because Simone is just another low IQ celebrity (similar to LeBron James) who has a platform for her views and spouts bullshite because the media man told them to

Incredibly talented at a sport doesn't mean you aren't a dumbass. Simone Biles was homeschooled so she could focus on gymnastics. LeBron James can barely read.

How hard is to explain that people want their team to win?

The irony is she is probably much much more intelligent than you and others who use this line of reasoning.

It can't be that hard

Oh you got me there. What a pathetic response.

How about Travis Kielce? Is that better because he's white?

They want the people they hate to be successful and win? That doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Why would I be upset that a US Olympian and former lsu athlete is winning gold medals lol? Y’all are so ate up and unwilling to admit simple reality that it’s making y’all say things that make no sense.

Or are you in the steelersdawg camp lol


Never was a LSU athlete, goes to show many of the detractors know very little about her

It was only after that press conference and the backlash from some of the members of the media that she brought up the fact that she "lost herself" in mid-air on the vault.


Totally untrue. The commentators knew it immediately and said such in their live commentary. Every gymnast, coach, or parent that I’ve heard comment on it all agrees that continuing to compete would be extremely dangerous. It was very obvious to anyone who actually knows something about the sport and has spent years watching it. Watching a bunch of YouTube videos doesn’t make you an expert.

This is a short video from one of Simone's coaches, talking about Tokyo. She and her husband coach Simone.
It's in French but you can get English captions / subtitles.

It validates the idea that coaches and commentators could see she was lost in the air, doing the wrong vault, jeopardizing the team score, etc.
