If Simone Biles Was a Black Man, She Would Have CAUGHT HELL For Quitting the OLYMPICS!

Simone Biles has been subjected to some vile abuse from her own countrymen after her bombshell decision to withdraw from her Olympic gymnastics events at the Tokyo Games. Biles shocked the world earlier in the week after abruptly withdrew from the women's gymnastics team final after just one vault on Tuesday night. The American star's bid for a record six gold medals at the Tokyo Games ended in shock fashion when she dropped out of the women's team final and watched as the United States surrendered their title to Russia. In a further development on Wednesday afternoon, the greatest gymnast of all time then also withdrew from the final all-round individual event at the Tokyo Olympics to work on her mental health. It's led to some disgusting criticism of the 24-year-old from within the United States, with right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk calling the gymnast a “selfish sociopath” and a “shame to this country”. “We are raising a generation of weak people like Simone Biles,” Kirk said. “Simone Biles just showed the rest of the nation that when things get tough, you shatter into a million pieces.” There was similar criticism from John Davidson writing for The Federalist, who argued that Biles' decision to pull out of competition was symptomatic of a larger societal problem. “We as a society have begun conflating mental health and mental toughness, or grit. Public figures are often rewarded for taking care of their ‘mental health’, even in the absence of any kind of mental illness,” he said. “Biles doesn’t suffer from a specific mental illness, at least not that we know of or that’s ever manifested itself before. “What she experienced wasn’t that, it was something more common among professional athletes: she got psyched out. She wasn’t mentally tough when she needed to be. “Instead of being ashamed of that, or apologising to her teammates and her countrymen, Biles seemed to revel in taking care of her ‘mental health’, whatever that means.” https://au.sports.yahoo.com/olympics-2021-simone-biles-criticism-why-gymnast-didnt-quit-team-usa-211726936.html
