Oh wow, I didn’t know she was Hmong! God, she was impressive. I know she’s been off scene with injuries and stuff but like... I didn’t expect her to come back LIKE THAT, damn!

I was just thinking about this, like when has she EVER had a major injury? Seems like everyone else on the scene has their various and multiple torn ACLs, Achilles, muscles and are always recovering from some surgery or rehab or are wearing a boot. And you should go look up the Russian team, I mean, JESUS CHRIST the

I’ve seen a few arguments (usually from Russian stans) that Simone is proof that we’ve gone too far towards “power” gymnastics as opposed to “artistic” gymnastics, which is usually interpreted as being as close to ballet as possible and the way it used to be where everyone was a tiny little girl and everything was out

oh my god, THE HANG TIME she gets

How bout also we talk about this INCREDIBLY BAD HAIR DYE JOB? Not surprising in this administration but jfc this makes Giuliani look one thousand years old.

oh and LOL I know you mean Maggie Nichols obvs but can you imagine Maggie Haney finding joy? Shade 100% intended.

ooooooooh how hard is it to stan juniors?! I can’t bring myself to because it’s like, ten percent of these people will be relevant and the rest are going to retire at age 15. WHAT.

performative! pearl! clutching!

this broke me, thanks, i hate it

As of late 2017, Aly was planning a comeback likely beginning in 2018 to make a bid for Tokyo, but she ended up filing suit against USAG in the wake of the Nassar trial. She hasn’t officially announced a retirement, but it seems that being in litigation with them precludes her competing as it’s a conflict of interest

yupppppp, it’s like... she’s gonna get referenced for the rest of gymnastics history, and we got to watch it unfold.

I’m not sure if she’s particularly political herself, but I would like to see some of the post-Nassar activism spawn a few political careers for sure.

This. I’m absolutely pro redemption, but the way you get redemption is to START OVER FROM SCRATCH, not let it blow over and then continue where you left off. Also there's the whole "actually demonstrating remorse and change" thing, which appears to be missing entirely here.

There’s something about her where she breaks the mold in every aspect of gymnastics and makes her a GOAT for more than just her capabilities. She’s incredible for so many reasons. Forgetting her insane skills for just a moment, consider:

is it just me or did you read curmudgeon senility into that response?

It’s really frustrating to be the person across from the sufferer. It’s like they try ever more objectively strange and restrictive ways to avoid what ails them or cure their condition, and it ends up really affecting the relationship you can have. It sucks when you try to help and can’t because they can’t/won’t accept

For the benefit of male pleasure. Well doesn't that put paid to all the nonsense about "well other traditions do it so criticizing it is racist!"

Someone should tell Tucker Carlson.

Wanna bet on whether he applies those same criteria to the concept of antifa?

Yes, this exactly - I don’t even thing A Situation would do it.
