Was Durant subjected to years of rape*, with potential for mental health issues / anxiety / CPTSD stemming from it? I'd probably give him a pass.

*(insert jokes about his days with the Thunder & UT)

I do get it, from purely a sports angle. Talk some shit if someone isn't clutch. That said, she's already proven she can do it, and it also makes sense that she deals with anxiety issues. I'm not super worried about it.

Well. The main difference is those are team sports not individual like Biles. So many more factors in play.

But yea, when your the star, all the pressure and expectations fall on you.

Not exactly a rage quitter but still looks bad.
It could possibly look worse if she participates in individual competitions next week.

She is weak, soft and quit. She isn't a bad person by any means...she just isn't mentally tough. Let's not sugar coat the shit. A great gymnast she is, "bad ass" she is not.

Also, I have no idea the stats…..but don’t women gymnasts typically peak around 15-18?

Biles is 24….…

Totally different than other sports.

She ****ed up today, no doubt. It's a stain on her career.

But she's definitely a badass, already has 5 Golds, and is like the Jordan of her sport.

She is a great gymnast. Seems odd some want to make excuses here...either due to gender or race I'm guessing. I'm trying to think of something similar to this happening to a star on a big stage but can't. Maybe the "No mas" fight..

You're playing the "you're playing the race card" card.

You can't think of it because it doesn't happen to any true star athlete. I'm not sure what/who you're referring to regarding excuses.

She bitched out. Regardless of what she did in her past, she bitched out.

And if you watched her body language and demeanor at all this Olympics, it's hardly a surprise that she's a selfish athlete.

I mentioned in D.C that my wife and I had this conversation on Sat or Sun regarding her shit demeanor on sideline.

You could see Biles struggling in the Olympic qualification. She may have lost her confidence and part of the reason she didn't want to compete. It's hard to be perfect when the media and everyone else expects perfection.
