Kerri Strug herself understands that. She’sbeen very supportive of Biles’s decision.

Plus Kerri injured herself for no reason. The American team didn't need that second vault score to advance. 

I just think it’s nice that the deputy is stepping up and using his platform so that it’s not just his boss who’s a complete public disgrace. He can’t really hope to compete with the AG in that area, but it’s kind of inspiring to see him trying.

Do a hand stand, then you can talk.

Can someone explain to me why every so often when Texas tries to secede from the Union, we don’t send them off into the sunset with a smile on our face? Hell, throw in Florida as a parting gift? If we make DC a state and add Puerto Rico officially we can even stay an even 50! Just saying... its an idea...

You don’t have to give oxygen to every nobody troll with an “opinion” on this.

You never have to have another graphic, do you?  It is ALWAYS at 0 days...

How many gold medals did his sorry ass bring home?

Never lets me down.  

you forgot to say fuck NBC and their shitty American exceptionalism bullshit that is their Olympic coverage.

I coach D2 track and xc. Everyone one of these athletes is trying to balance school, athletics, work, family, and its amazing how many people still give them shit because “you’re getting a scholarship.” None of them are getting even a quarter scholarship. Being involved in sports has been the most rewarding experience…

Yep, and the Karolyis were held up as the pinnacle so you know it’s rotten all the way down.

It seems as if there as never been a coach in Biles life that ever did right by her .

Both those people and the ones who adore them, are a fucking plague that can’t die out soon enough. 

What makes you think she’s gonna start NOW of all times?

You are spot on! And the Piers Morgan & Megyn Kellys of the world are gonna pounce.

“YAY THE COUNTRY I WAS BORN IN IS BETTER THAN THE ONE I WASN’T BORN IN”, is apparently too on the nose for some.

I’m tired of reporters, both print and television, saying that Simon Biles carries the weight of winning solely on her shoulders. This is a team event...the coverage of a single person only adds to the stresses she must have felt just trying to do her job. Hoda Kotb’s obvious breakdown aside, why do we feel like she…

I cannot imagine a 28 year old gymnast. 

Feckless thugs will say anything if their country isn’t winning.
