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


Mental toughness and intelligence have nothing to do with each other

I don't think James is smart. But there is no doubt it takes some mental toughness to get that good at anything.

The guy from ft worth has won 3 out of the last 4 gold medals and the US has the majority of the best swimmers of all time, both male and female.

The majority of our medals don't come from just those two sports, but yes, we've historically dominated them.

Who cares, both sides are just as guilty now. Doesn't matter who started it, everyone now is insufferable.

is this going to be the tactic the Dems used going forward? Open Border policies have caused illegal immigration to get out of control! Doesn’t matter who’s policies got us here, it’s both sides fault now.

It's just funny to be an average joe commenting on literally the best female gymnast to ever be on this planet's willpower and mental status. We have no idea what it's like to be in her spot.
