[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the attitude on display that's the biggest issue, and the media that will coddle her cowardly behavior behind the shields of racism and sexism. Also, I disagree with bowing out. If you're not on point in a competition, that's fine. Acknowledge it and move on. Learn why that's the case, and fix it. That's how you made it there in the first place, right? Bowing out is disrespectful to your team and the competition, unless it's a physical injury. It goes against the spirit of the games. Clowns in the media still fawning over her is just pathetic.[/quote]

See it’s comments like this that show you don’t even understand the scoring. If she hadn’t bowed out and continued with her off performance she would have lost the women the silver. Her vault score already put them in the hole. Every score counted in that competition, and she knew, based on whatever was going on, that she was a liability to the team. Best case scenario would have had her pulling out earlier so that a fourth could’ve subbed in. But I don’t think she predicted how off she really was until right before the meet. [/quote]

+1  First poster doesn't know or care about the rules of the sport.  She just wants to dump on a black woman who didn't, on a single day, perform up to the world's extremely high expectations.  [/quote]

All these racism claims are only insulting to all the other high performing black athletes out there who somehow managed to push themselves to the limit - and win. You need to cool it because you're only making Biles look worse. [/quote]

That's actually not how any of this works, but not surprised that Karen doesn't get it.  Biles has pushed herself to the limit, limits beyond anyone else and won.  Won more times than any other gymnast.  Your trying to portray her as someone who hasn't done that already proves the racism point.  [/quote]

DP - but I don’t think you understand what racism is.  You are embarrassing yourself, truly.

Love,
