People who think like you are just a huge beacon of strength lmfaoAmerica got soft with the liberal leadership push for America being racist, gender equality and the woke cancel culture cult. Media is on board with all that crap also. Spilling over to the woke athletes now.
Just look at the sports team name changing going on with the Redskins and Indians for one example. Oh that name hurts me and is deeply offensive after 100 years and we must cancel it now!! AMERICA GOT SOFT!!

Easy enough to flip the narrative and indicate she is a champion of mental health, and by extension, the sponsors.
She is blessed to be in a position where she can do something like this without severe consequences.
Remember U.S and A is not the greatest when it comes to mental health.
Most employers don’t offer benefits when it comes to mental health (ie counseling, psychology, psychiatry).
whether that’s ok is another discussion entirely.Comment -
A couple posters are quiclk to cancel her. Cancel culture is strong here.Comment -
And she is being labeled a brave American hero. God I hate the media.Comment -
Biles won't compete in the individual competition. What a pussy.
I just saw her in qualifications. Damn, she was sucking bigly. Unreal.Comment -
Saw someone post earlier that they took the mental health out as a cop out to those suffering severely, I had never thought about it but yeah it's weak. Your forms out don't blame inner demons that end peoples lives. Same goes for Osaka, I felt terrible for her then a week later puts out her doco on Netflix, bullshit. No one going through the hell that is depression would ever contemplate that and I should know unfortunately.Comment -
and Osaka came out with the SI swimsuit cover too. Come on.Comment -
the mics picked up she doesnt trust herself...so she has a lack of confidence
thats not a goddamn mental health problem.
every athlete faces that. hell, tiger woods was shanking chips for a while.
i dont really give a fukk if she withdrew but dont say "mental health"
part of every sport is mental, physical, and emotional. You have to be solid in all 3. Her mental game sucks, not her actual mental health
thats why i say fukk herComment -
No, it won't.
A large majority will remember her as another in a long line of 'me first' spoiled athletes that quit on their team.
Pressure?
Too much pressure?
WTF is that?
When you get to a World Series, a Super Bowl, Olympics finals. what have you everybody feels the pressure.
It's the one's that overcome the pressure (Joe Montana, Joe Carter, comes to mind) that'll be remembered.
Biles goes down in history with Bill Buckner.Comment -
*double post*Comment -
Everyone fuks up atleast once or twice in their lifetime. I can forgive her for this but this is not about her anymore here at SBR. Its just people looking to talk shit about an athlete and thats fine. As far as the mental health aspect of it. I dont like it being used loosely either.Comment -
In her defense I was reading from people who know 1000 times more about these things than I do that it's almost unfair that because the degree of difficulty (which is reflected in her score) of her 'triples' that nobody else can even attempt is reflected, but so is if she fails to perfectly execute those moves she attempts her score gets knocked down also for execution, or lack of execution.
It's a damned if you do, and damned if you don't type Catch 22 situatuon.
Most of us have played organized sports from age 14 to age 24.
I did, my mentality was always "you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above'Comment
