crapernick was a bad qb and who tried to cry raaaaacism because he sucked. Biles just couldn't hang so she's not really a bad person she just quit cause her chosen life was too stressful. that's allowed to happen but you're not the goat after that happens.

China especially is not a diverse society. I would not expect Chinese athletes to be diverse.

Forget Simone - y’all are the ones with mental health issues.
I wonder what the DSM-V code is for "ass[hat]"?

She got Third Place in her event. She is a loser.

Sometimes some people aren't worth having this conversation with.
All Above,
Keep in mind that most of these Poster in this forum are either Russian trolls posing as US Citizens, or the wave of Storm Front throw a way's from when their site temporally went down a number years back. Pay their Misinformation and offten racist Rhetoric No Mind!

As long as he got under your Skin I'm Ok with whatever he did. Oh yea, The NFL and Nike paid him a bunch of money too make you REAL Patriots feel, and look bad, "he's kneeling during the Anthem Waaaa"!

How does that sit with you?

There was talk in various sectors that Biles was pulling out to "protect her brand," which means not losing sponsorships due to a poor performance. I notice she came back for an individual event, which is more valuable, potentially, for getting top sponsor $$$.

At elite athlete levels the $$$ made from sponsorships and endorsements are worth many millions. Biles' team, meaning her agents, would absolutely be looking at what would protect her marketability. Sorry to say, it's really all about money at the end of the day.

For those of you who went out of your way to attack Simone Biles and say cruel and obnoxious things about her for pulling out of the events....

It was just revealed last night that Simone Biles' closest aunt died the day before she withdrew from the all around. So forgive her if she was a bit mentally checked out.

I think some people are cruel and obnoxious because it makes them feel better about themselves. It's the bully mentality.

I honestly don’t believe for a second that this will make any difference. A person with no empathy can’t be helped.

It's weird the mainstream media never mentioned her ADHD medicines are illegal in Japan, and thus she may not have taken her pills on time.
It seems she takes both methylphenidate (Ritalin) and dextroamphetamine.

I understand ADHD needs to be controlled, but those medicines also enhance performance, which gives the athletes an edge. It is difficult to find a boundary.
