PepeSilvia Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Legit question. Why are you so intent on bashing Biles for making a decision that could potentially damage her for life? I mean I think I know why but I want to hear what type of excuse you will come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I believe it somewhat tarnishes her image and legacy with pure sports enthusiasts while it may bolster her image with some in the woke libtard crowd .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she quit on her team. I think she did the right thing by benching herself. Had she tried to compete and failed, and the coach pulled her (if that was possible) people would be screaming for the coach's head. She had the yips, and we've all known a professional athlete that got them, and eventually they were either forced to retire by being released or they played a different position such as Rick Ankiel. Should she be lauded no, but I don't think people should be criticizing her like they are. In 4 years she may not even make the Olympic team. I checked last night and the last time someone under 20 won the all around gymnastics title was in 1972 and they were in their early 20's. You would think that they would be in their prime, but that's not the case with female gymnasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, by her stepping aside when she new she couldn't be at her best she ultimately HELPED HER TEAM. Didn't her alternate win 2 medals? That's maturity. That's also leadership. She did the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreezyChef Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Simone Biles is one of the greatest athletes of all time. I respect her decision. She has displayed EXTREMELY mature behavior consistently throughout her career. Why have people vilified her, her entire career? Shes awesome. Shes a sweetheart.

She was adopted at a fairly early age but had been through foster services for about 3 years. Since then shes has become the face of women's gymnastics because of her dominance in the sport. Womens physiology is different than men's. Their cycles often effect their mood and mental health. We don't know exactly what happened and I respect her decision. By stepping aside when she wasn't at her best another young lady was able to win medals in her place. That takes maturity and leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
