Sitting there alone in a chair looking stoic while her team is all laughing and cheering each other on said a lot to me. You'd never catch Mahomes acting like that. She couldn't even get up to celebrate her teammates first Olympic performance....something is up with her. Either she's an entitled **** her she just caught her man shagging the maid.

Biles had nothing to prove. She was mentally off her game and instead of competing and bringing the entire team down, she sat out. It's really not that difficult to understand. |

If that makes her an "entitled ****" then more than half this country are "entitled ****s". |

The country has a long way to go when it comes to treating mental health issues as actual, physical, medical issues instead of calling it the yips or being a pussy. Seems like athletes are starting to become more comfortable discussing it - which, honestly, good because if you're aware of it you can treat it AND/OR gm's and coaches can sit you or cut you if they deem you a risk in clutch moments - just like a sore hamstring.
I remember in college, one of my fraternity brothers had a suicide attempt over the summer, and one of the other guys was going on and on about how depression isn't a real thing and that its just 'weak character' from 'lack of prayer.' No, idiot, there are actual, real, physical chemicals in the brain that aren't functioning properly, just like how you get pimples or fat when you're stressed. Anyways, I'm all done discussing women's gymnastics for the day.

You can understand why you’d want to quit, what you can’t understand is someone at this level actually doing it. It still doesn’t explain what’s brave about not being brave, or what the grand display of confidence is in losing all your confidence at a setback. And no, I don’t believe a male athlete would be cheered for quitting on his team. If KD had walked off in the middle of the second half when the going was tough, nobody would be talking about how brave that was. They’d say he should gut it out for the team and display the indomitable Olympic spirit and all that. |

In basketball if you play when you're off, you just travel or throw up bricks/airballs. (also, if you know you're going to likely **** it up, wouldn't you rather have a B-player at least give your team a shot? That's what she did and they got a Silver)

Agreed - bad look. Didn't like that from the start.

she has been there done that. You think all those other Olympic gold medals and being considered the best of all time without being tough? One little slip up and not only the gold is gone but a medal. Years of training wasted because of one slip up. To finish on top multiple times with pressure like that…. No way she’s not tough.

BS..most people wouldn't recognize her waking next to them down the street. People watch women's gymnastics once every 4 years.

I was thinking it was that hot little number Mykayla from the commercial she was in. Don't remember Simone being in any.
