Nope will continue to provide opinions. Does that make you uncomfortable?

It makes me laugh.

Simone isn't all that great. Hope that makes you laugh.

…at how silly you are.

The strength and power of her body is mind blowing - especially for an "old" gymnast. She's without a doubt the GOAT.

Yeah, her jumps and flips are really high!
But why do you care if she’s not everyone’s fave?

Because you in the KKK if you hate

Okay so you’re saying that if you think Simone is a great gymnast but not your fave or the greatest of all time, that means you “hate” Simone and are racist. Got it!

Simone ia the GOAT.
If anyone doesnt think so after watching her incredible leaps and flips and turns that fast , they need a reality check.

The coverage is so meta at this point. There are no more words to say. Like this Beyonce voice montage, we are just just watching her just stand around and post while Beyonce says wow she is great.

This Italian gymnast cracks me up the way she ran to the horse was so funny and even how she moved on the beam she is very gangly, but she is skillful at the same time--she moves with personality so it it entertaining to watch.

Simone loves talking about her "haters" all the time. Tired of hearing her being talked about and tired of hearing her talk about herself.

At the end of the day, like a lot of young adult Americans, she likes drama and attention. That’s probably why she and her husband are always saying dumb shit that they know people are going to talk about on social media.
Goats, they’re just like us!

She recently posted about people criticizing her competition hairstyle, telling people don't dare talk about a black women's hair, but I notice that she does an intentionally disheveled (different from messy, two different things) hairstyles for competition because her ponytails otherwise look regular (not slicked down, no baby hairs, just regular degular, not disheveled). I think she does the competition look on purpose to bring about haters, to give her something to do (post on social media against them).

I remember Gabby Douglas’s hair sparked tons of debate on social media a few years ago. I don’t notice hair or care about it, but apparently a lot of people did.

Because, simply. she is the GOAT. No ifs, why, but about it.

She’s really good, but she lacks the ethereal grace and softness of classical gymnasts.

You mean the waif-like under 16 year old from the Karoly era?

You are putting words in the poster's mouth.

The gymnastics of today is artless and imprecise.

You can:
-call me a terrible person
-say well since I am an athlete what do I know
-call me stupid

And I still stand by what I said.

I take the power and athleticism of today’s gymnasts over the anorexic era.

Why does it have to be power and athleticism with more grace and fluidity. No one is missing anorexia. Stop projecting your BS onto other posters.

There is no doubt that in one sense, Simone is the most athletic and acrobatic of the group. She does the most difficult moves on many of the apparatuses. However, she also is imprecise and artless. It is all power and no finesse.

It's actually for that reason I would love to see Suni Lee win the gold in the individual all around. At these games she seems more fluid and graceful than Simone.

Read “Little Girls in Tiny Boxes” to see what was done to them to make them quiet, obedient, and sick. They were sick and most of them abused in some or all ways. Bela and Marta Karolyi and other coaches were monsters. They were given temp guardianship over these kids, lived at the compound, and every minute of their life was controlled. Please do not support this. Look at the feed of Keri Strug. Read her face, listen to what Bella says to her and his body language. Here her agonizing screams when she crawls off the mat. You know what will make a little girl do a complicated vault on an injury like what she had. Fear. I like the healthy, aware, non- abused Olympians we have today.

Keri Strug is an odd choice of gymnast to make this point. Keri was a "graceless" stocky powerhouse gymnast like Rhetton, Zmeskal, Johnson and Biles.
