Kinda strange that an equal amount of people downvoted and upvoted this thread. Are they not aware our country has become far weaker?

I bet you nor I have the 1/10th the mental fortitude Simone Biles does.


Here we are on a sports forum posting opinions, the hooooorrrrooor. You're absolutely right, and the point literally means nothing.

It's not like we don't have endless years of similar circumstances to which compare. But unless I'm as good a gymnast as simone, guess I can't comment. Rofl

You just seem like a miserable person in general. What's it like being incapable of finding joy in anything?

Good point. Let's just keep interjecting it into places it doesn't belong, cause.... SNOWFLAKES!

Tried to frick my wife last night... She wasn't having it... Thanks KAMALA!

Was mowing my lawn last night and it started raining on me cause of the GOD DAMN DEMOCRATS!

Went fishing yesterday couldn't catch a damn thing cause Joe Biden pulled the troops from Afghanistan!

Remember how the democrats cried and blamed everything on Trump...

So Biden by and large continues Trumps policies and now they are bad but they weren't before.



I mean this is patently false but whatever. He basically has reversed everything Trump did with more "executive orders" than ever before but yeah it's a continuation of Trump.

Where do you people come up with this shite?

Swimming is awesome and they are some of the best athletes at the games.

These "real sports" you are referencing almost certainly haven't given medals yet.

Are you under the impression the US basketball team is no longer able to win the gold medal?

or be their parents robot. these kids are basically forced into this at such a young age that they get molded to just eat, breathe, and live the sport. gymnastics is travel ball on steroids. lets not forget its filled with complete creeps that prey on the kids all the way down to the nothing leagues around the country cutting down on said mental fortitude

being the best at a sport doesnt auto qualify into some mental giant category. no one in their right mind would call lebron some pillar of mental fortitude

floyd mayweather cant read

sports are littered with a bunch of dummies all the way to the upper echelon

We are a nation that is irreparably divded.

We are so entrenched in our political views and focused on winning our internal fights that we are ignore national outcomes and position in the world.

Ex, U.S. education system ranks embarrassingly low relative to other similar economies in the world.

Enter a proposal to address it (pick any one of them). Instead of looking at how many engineers it will take to compete against China in a digitized world, we fight over how deep gov't will be involved, cost, etc. and never resolve the objective.

Fight ends, we move on to the next internal strife of the day, and U.S. slips even further behind relative to the world's education.

Where are we today? In 10 years, China will have twice as many Big Tech companies than U.S. does.

While we were fighting one another, China produced more engineers than we produced red-faces in our internal fighting.

They win; we lose.

We have allowed ourselves to be irreparably divided and China and others are seizing the opportunity we gave them.

I, for one, have zero faith that what is being said is truth. This young lady has been on top of her profession for several years and I find it difficult to believe that it's bothering her enough to quit now, at the very moment she's about to break open a can on the world.
Something else is going on and I bet it has something to do with her skills that no one can duplicate... the triple flip or whatever it's called.
She's being bullied I think.
