My thing is, why compete at all? Obviously she wants to help her team in the overall cause, but I'd  be happy if she just sits on the sidelines and cheerlead. Put your overall health first, your critics be damned!

Ingham County, Mich, one of 3006 counties in the US. My guess is there are quite a few more to go.

I wish all these pasty chuckleheads who are giving her shit could be literally put in the position to see how much danger Biles would have been in if she’d continued, except they’d probably get winded and dizzy running a 40.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause...

“How dare she merely let us get away with violating these people’s Constitutional rights against unlawful search instead of prosecuting them unconstitutionally?!”

From the WSJ artcile:

Good. Not coming to a full stop at a stop sign, or having a broken taillight does not make you Pablo Escobar nor does it warrant a police officer unloading a gun into a teen for having car trouble.

The same people that were ripping Simone Biles are tripping over themselves to praise Aaron Rodgers for his bullshit therapy session today. Oh to all the white women who were screaming “Free Britney” I hope you are out here offering support to Simone.

Here’s some more from a former gymnast, and not some armchair psycho who can’t touch his toes.

Nothing against any other sports, but not being 100% focused in gymnastics could be deadly.  Good on her for putting herself first and for setting an example for so many others to do so as well.  

Fuck you dipshit. 

You think a basketball player is at the same level of risk as a gymnast? That’s just stupid. A bad vault for Simone Biles could kill her. You can’t say that about a missed free throw.

If Chris Paul is having a day when he not mentally strong, he does not score a lot of points and commits turnovers. When an elite gymnast is not at their best and they make a mistake, it can cost them the ability to ever walk again. You comparison is beyond DUMB!

The difference is that gymnastics is COMPLETELY different from basketball. You’re comparing apples to pomegranates. 

Here’s an explanation of what Simone Biles just went through yesterday from another competitive gymnast and diver.

Mixed how? Between people who think he’s an asshole and people who think he’s a talentless hack of an asshole?

Yeah she’s only a rape survivor, you dipshit. And it was her COACH that pulled her out because she lost her spatial awareness in the middle of her vault. And if you know anything about gymnastics, instead of the vomit spewing twat that you are, you’d know that losing your spatial awareness in the middle of your…

Why put “mental health” in quotations? If she is saying it’s a mental health issue we should believe her

Kerri Strug wrecked her body and career to secure another Gold medal they would have won anyways, albeit by a narrow margin. Another to the tally at the cost of her career. Simone Biles has accomplished so much and more with her share of gold medals at 24 so I also don’t fault her at all for prioritizing taking care…

Shame on anyone who tries to shit on her for this. Trying to do the types of things she does when her head isn't right could be dangerous. What's a gold medal supposed to do to help all that? Nothing.
