Naomi played and got eliminated in the third roundI personally think they all saying f the Olympic a.
So far 3 of them has claimed mental. Health issues.
Naomi
Shacarri by way of her mother death.
Simone
Thank you mind reader.Naomi played and got eliminated in the third round
Sha'carri violated a rule and at the time of suspension was enjoying an uptick in attention and endorsements.
Simone just had a freak out and lost focus.
None of them had any plans or intentions to protest or boycott the olympics....none have a history of speaking out in that way...
Stop with the wild theories![]()
![]()
She is fine as frog hair in person.She married a CAC, fuck outta here with that GOAT talk. And she's shaded other black female athletes before.![]()
Thank you mind reader.
but I’ll stick with my “theory”. I don’t read minds like you do. I’ll just keep it at what I “personally” think. And by the way I know she played. But she also withdrew previously in french open stressing mental health issues
Less plausible. Has no similarity to the others excuses.Your conflating two different events then
But heres my theory...simone has gambling debts and the Russian mob leaned on her hard to take a dive but she couldn't do so she dropped out as solution...how plausible is that??![]()
You don't know her like that..she could be a gambler and they hushed it up.Less plausible. Has no similarity to the others excuses.
Nah. Give me another one. All 3 would have to be related. But your getting the hang of itYou don't know her like that..she could be a gambler and they hushed it up.
Here's another one...
Naomi is a high functioning alcoholic who was hungover really bad and blamed it on mental illness.. wow this is simpler than I thought...![]()
Yo Yo Rapaport chimes in...
Now, you have ask yourself how many times she already sucked “it” up since 2013 and ain’t say shit but decided this week, that they was it?Fuck....no matter how you slice it...its not a good look..
If she's not in any physical pain then you suck it up and compete...if you lose then you lost...
Between this and naomi it's looking less like black girl magic and more like black girl fragility...
Black women used to pride themselves on their ability to take the hits, punch back and do that shit with style and guts...
Now it's looking like if they can't win they don't want to play the game..
Her coaches and support system did a sucky job of talking her thru that shit.
Olympics happen 25 times a year.imagine it is game 7 of the NBA finals.
LBJ/MJ/KB has had a mediocre finals performance all series. after the first quarter of game seven he walks off the court and says it is too much pressure and he is pulling out of the game.
The entire sports world would lambast him.
Dude I understand all that but that's no excuse...
There was a gymnast named kerri strug who literally broke her ankle (tho she didn't know it...but was severely sprained as far as she knew) and she had the last vault to secure the win for the team...she did that shit and landed it on one foot.
That's a competitor
Jackie Joyner kersey injured herself in competition and her husband coach told her to tape it up and keep going..that's a competitor..
Quitting because you're mojo ain't working the way you want isn't a competitor and it hurts her legacy.
It's not to me
It's forced.
Everything isn't so simple and neat
Real life is messy and complicated
Jordan and Brady ok
In this comparison WHEN EXACTLY are they playing in their career?
Cause Simone barely 24 is already considered the goat
Those 2 were not
She mastered team and individual in her sport
If she didn't feel "right" for whatever reason and in this specific event
her 1st bad outing already put the team in the hole
So you want an athlete to play when they not ready physically or mentally
and the whole team lose...
Over ego?
So if Jordan lost the flu game he a quitter?
If Pippen played with the migraine he now the most competitive ever?
Brady plays with a concussion and they lose...
Is he selfish or a warrior ?
My point is situations are unique
Her being a 24 yr old young black woman with the federation is against her, the sport is trying to change the RULES against her, she was sexually assaulted, she is ALREADY considered the BEST EVER IN HER SPORT.
She already won numerous GOLD MEDALS for her team and country. She is a multiple champion.
And a loud social activist who has to battle THOSE jerks, too.
how the hell is all that comparable to Jordan or Brady not coming out at halftime in a championship game?
I think Simone knows herself enough for us to at least concede WE have no damn idea what it is like to be HER...
Or the best in the world at ANYTHING.
when MJ, Tiger, Lebron, Serena, Brady, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder etc...
Some of the best to ever do it
Say she was "wrong" ?
Then I'm gonna at least listen.
But I have enough experience as a human being to understand this young woman who we ALL don't even know
says she was hurting
To respect it.
She didn’t let herself down, put her team in a position to capture Silver, and you come in here talking about ANYBODY Black letting America down, I already know you on a whole mother frequency.Classifying athletic failure - physical or mental - as a health problem benefits no one. Elite performance at the highest level is hard. Failure, and fear of failure, is part of the struggle. We are all human and can sympathize, freaking out in a stressful situation is part of the human condition. People fail.
There is nothing wrong or abnormal going on here. This failure is the fault of Simone Biles. She let herself, her team, and her country down. Yes, that is a heavy burden; it is the one she carries. We still love, adore, and admire her as the greatest gymnast of all time, and hope she gets her mind right. But let's call this what it is.
So, now you want people to set appointments for how they are gonna feel in the future?Nobody knows your mental health like you do but she should have done this before the Olympics and allowed another athlete prepared mentally/physically to compete to go.
BREH, finally somebody looking at this sh!t from a bird’s eye view.Eh, I wouldn't expect a woman to continue to literally bend over backwards for an organization that looked the other way while a sexual predator fingerbanged her and her teammates. She doesn't owe USA Gymnastics a damn thing. Looking forward to what she does with her next chapter in life...

I sure as hell hope so. There is another Black female on deck.I wonder if one of her teammates will get gold as a result of this.
Another moron who isn't paying attention to a goddam thing.
I was behind naomi when she dropped out of the tennis open
While sympathetic to sha'carri issues she knew the rules. And I blame her support system for not helping her.
Simone is different issue...shes a vet...and this is her last Olympics...she set standards no one else. Good or bad win or lose if nothing on her body is broken the you play thru that shit.
an athletes career legacy is his or her actual performance in the field. The triumphs and defeats and how they handled both. Not only the records and medals amassed from the games but the way they got them.
Simone struggling with pressure in these games was her true competition not the other girls. She needed to step up to it. That's the point. Didn't the rocky movies teach you anything???

2 things. He from texas which seems to be confederate headquarters. And he was real close to that george floyd situation.I am tired of his takes. He hates Black women. We are Americans, we fight through for our families too. America ain't just white folks![]()
I thought she was trying to buy NBCYour conflating two different events then
But heres my theory...simone has gambling debts and the Russian mob leaned on her hard to take a dive but she couldn't do so she dropped out as solution...how plausible is that??![]()
Biles is the undisputed GOAT who hasn't lost since 2013. She's already won countless Olympic golds. She didn't clam up. She's already performed under the pressure. For whatever reason, she "lost the floor". On her first routine, she planned to do 2.5 flips and did 1.5 and pulled up and she still managed to land on her feet because she's the goat. Gymnasts say they're like divers except they dive into a pool with no water. If you lose your sense of where the floor is, you can have a serious life-changing injury. Whatever is causing it isn't as important as something has caused it, she's identified it, and she's decided that she's more important than medals (and she already has more than any other gymnast).
White folks think they own black athletes.. especially black Olympic athletes. "You're not competing for yourself. You're doing it for your country!"..and you already know that White Folks really think they're the only "real" Americans. So when you're performing for "your country", they literally mean that you're competing as representatives of white Americans.
That's why they're mad. A black woman told them that she's more important than them and they can't handle it. That's all this shit is about.
And she didn't fuck over the team. They have reserves. She's 24 and old for a gymnast. They're lucky she's even still performing in the first place.
well thats why she was gambling trying to raise the money....I thought she was trying to buy NBC
Hey I'm disappointed but she made her decision and its her life...that said, GOAT status stands until someone comes along and TOPS what she's accomplished...Simone Biles is the standard by which every other gymnast will be judged.Cant be the goat and choke at th olympics. people were too quick to give her goat status.
damn, NBC just keep black folk in all kinds of trouble.well thats why she was gambling trying to raise the money....![]()

you think it was just an unfortunate accident a reporter told sha'carri about her mom??? NBCs reach is far...oh, shit gets DEEP homie...damn, NBC just keep black folk in all kinds of trouble.
