I get the pressure of an Olympic/professional athlete having to perform. I'm sure its immense, and most of us can't relate.

But this is her job essentially. And its an event that happens once every four years. Because of the pandemic, she had an extra year to prepare and there are almost ZERO people in attendance! Come the fuck on. I honestly have more sympathy for Yermin Mercedes who had to go out there every day and wear it, or Jake Arrieta who was a Cy Young winner and now would struggle to strike me out.

If you can't take the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen.

That's exactly what she did...

"I was still struggling with some things," Biles said of competing Tuesday night.

"Therapy has helped a lot as well as medicine. That’s all been going really well. Whenever you get in high-stress situations, you kind of freak out and don’t know really know how to handle all of those emotions especially at the Olympic Games."

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

That's exactly what she did...

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

That's funny. I don't see her not accepting the medal or deferring her television appearances.

And now Dan and Leila have Maggie Hendricks on to pontificate about Simone and mental health.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

They chose Maggie instead of the former gymnast?

it's good that she rooted for her teammates and all, but to be the best, you overcome the things she's now saying that are too much for her to handle.

athletes are supposed to revel at the chance to prove how great they are. it's part of the upbringing of being a jock. that's why so many of them are such insufferable pricks.

as badrogue illustrated...the russians do this with one traumatic hairpull behind their back. their entire childhood is one long sexual assault. yet they win a ton of gold.

The premise of the thread was in jest but one of your earlier posts summed all of this up nice. Who cares about the Olympics.

And yet the Olympics have somehow become even dumber with people actively rooting against Team USA participants.

Best to ignore the it all together and let the crazy people waste their time with it.

You are a very angry miserable person. I hope you see help.

I thought the Russians were supposed to be banned because of doping or whatever?

And not talking that cute like penalty box, but PERMABANNED!!

Yeah, why can't our gymnasts deal with sexual assault better than the Russians?

That seems like a lot of words to put onto a leotard.

I'm just here to tell people to get off social media.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Apparently they could while under Larry Nasser’s “care”. The Russians are always going to be cold-blooded.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Say what you will about USA Gymnastics, but when those girls were getting diddled they were also bringing back gold medals.

What a crazy world. She withdraws from a team event putting her teammates all in a bad position and then is praised as some great teammate because she stayed around and clapped for them?

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

I'm pretty sure this is not good for her brand.
