[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven’t read this whole thread so I think this is a somewhat different take - but I have ZERO problem with what Simone Biles did.  I DO have a problem with the way it’s being covered, however.  Pulling out of a dangerous competition at the last minute, potentially leaving teammates who are counting on you in the lurch is surely a very difficult, but very rational and understandable decision.  It is certainly not villainous or selfish; neither is it brave or courageous.  It is just an unfortunate and crappy situation that all the gymnasts handled to the best of their ability.

WHY do we have to resort to this childish, binary, black-or-white, good-or-bad, cowardly-or-brave narrative for EVERYTHING these days?  It’s ridiculous.

She’s not selfish, she’s not bad, but she’s also no hero. [/quote]

YES this captures exactly how I feel and couldn't put into words myself. Thanks PP.

Also, it isn't Simone's fault but I wish the media coverage would move on already and focus on the current participants and Suni's win today!![/quote]
