Holy shit, you're a dense fuck. You’re so intent on defending her honor you’re unable to comprehend what my position is. No where, in any of my posts, have I said that she hasn’t worked her ass off, that she didn’t earn everything that she has or accomplished, or that she should give a flying fuck about what I, or anyone else says or thinks about her.

All I said was that she should not be celebrated as “being strong” when backing out of team competition, especially when she went on to compete in events that were for her own benefit, just because she gave an excuse that cannot be questioned.

Furthermore, my initial gripe had nothing to do with her, but with all of the other sports figures & Hollywood twits & twats that constantly interject their opinions when given the mic.


Best fucking Golden Globes EVER.

More of these virtue signaling celebrities should be made to look like the asses that they are.


Hmmm. Quite the over- the- top reaction for someone who "knows" he is right. You might consider talking to someone about that. Very Happy

You can back out for individual sport is fine w/ me. But teamsports, you better hang in there until they carry you out.

Biles needed a safe-space for her 'mental illness'? She abandoned her team, plain and simple. If she did not want to represent this country, she should have stayed home and let someone else take that spot. Someone more willing was bumped off for her and then she backs out after she gets there?? SMH.

It is obvious what this is all about - let us not pretend we don't know. The American flag offends her.


Right. I suppose that's why she wears it... Rolling Eyes

If she has enough medals, then why not just stay home and let someone else compete and get their chance at gold?

INstead of taking a spot and not give it your full effort. I don't understand that.

So you will take up space is about it? Pathetic.

The title is Olympics and mild rant. Here’s another I have.

Russia was band from the Olympic Games this year because of cheating. I don’t mind some innocent Russian athletes get to participate. ROC (Russian Olympic Committee). Russia should not be part of it’s name.

Carry on.

Perhaps, because of the fact that since she was on the team, does she not receive credit for the team’s medal count whether she participated or not? Just a thought, & I’m sure someone will correct if I’m wrong.

You do know that the team brings alternates in case someone can't compete right?

Right? You knew that right?


And when it comes to a team sport....which would be better...Biles clinging on while performing poorly or her giving up the spot to a very capable alternate?

I know...take a while and think it through.

But it seems that you started the insult.

If you meant this in any other way than an insult, please explain.


If not, then I feel that, aside from the abrasive language, my response was far from “over the top” & defined my stance quite clearly.

Excellent !

Full points given.

It was worth the whole Olympics to see the shared gold inthe men’s high jump.

I wondered howRochester NY got to send its own team this year
