Michael Jordan quit on his team when they were at the top. Just bailed to play baseball, for his mental health. But please continue to ignore reality to make your dumb ass point.

Yuck. Take this whole freaking thing down.
He won a championship then went to try something else AFTER THE SEASON. What Biles did would be MJ missing one shot in the finals and then walking off the field to make the team win without him.
If Someone wanted to quit gymnastics to try golf AFTER the Olympics no one would care. Instead she missed one shot and quit mid competition. The two things are nowhere near the same.
You missed the qualifying standard. So she’s way more accomplished than you. What’s your point.

NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF GAME 2 OF THE FINALS.
You clearly don’t get it and know NOTHING about MJ.
MJ NEVER walked off the floor mid-game, mid-series, mid season…..read.
If Biles took this Olympics off then that’s fine. She QUIT mid competition.
Terrible….and embarrassing.

She needs to be removed from the arena. She is just a bad influence on her teammates. Do it discreetly, but have her escorted out of the arena.

I just watched her vault on NBC's night coverage (8:15). The commentators suggested something was terribly wrong with her, the vault wasn't impressive and she looked horrible. It absolutely made sense for her to bail. This is too dangerous a sport. A quarterback could stand in the pocket and overthrow a receiver, a baseball player could strike out swinging, a runner false start, a gymnast could get paralyzed.
Just a note. They re-do the commentary. The main commentator isn't even there when it is happening live. Nastia Liukin and the other gymnast dude were the only people there doing commentary on the live feed this morning. All of the stuff they are saying is with knowledge of what happened afterwards.
This post was removed.
The anonymous poster “your point is?”….that’s an awful comparison.
Awful.

You would have preferred that she continued, so she could flame out in front of the word or get hurt. Why? She clearly thought the team had a better chance if she sat out. I don’t understand how people like you get off on seeing others struggling. It’s rather gross.
race hustler

I noticed one strange thing: it seems many Americans are happy that their star athlete had to pull out? Is it because Boris is posting from St. Petersburg? Or what else could it be that Americans don't like about her? Mmhhh....
No. Far from it. Americans are lamenting the lack of toughness that you took for granted at the Olympic level. "Mental issues" was a term previously reserved for actual, serious psychiatric conditions. Now, a case of nerves = "mental issue". It has become a catch all phrase along with "panic attack" and "anxiety attack".
and "a$$hole."
why people accusing of us of racism?
if she was white we'd be just as critical
I swear liberals cannot view the world in a non race lens - I recommend you try approaching a situation in life without trying to apply a racial intent behind it, you might just enjoy your life more.
She should have regrouped and done better for the team. MJ missed some shots, he didn't shoot 100% in the finals, but he still took the next shot and made it more often than not.
I have much more respect for someone that stays in the game and plays poorly than someone that quits but a GOAT turns it around.
Today Bikes was Tom Brady at half time against the Falcons. He didn't walk out because "the team is better without him". He turned it around, fought back, and won. I hate Tom Brady but he doesn't quit.

Yes way more anonymous than “Go Sweden”. You’re correct Michael Jordan played every minute of every game in his NBA career. Never once left a game, never got hurt. The Bulls didn’t even have backup players. My mistake.
Give “your point is?” a participation trophy.
It's been pointed out by many that any post speculative or critical of Bile's withdrawal is racist, misogynist, and insensitive to mental health issues.
I, for one, welcome our new Woke Overlords... and would like to remind them I can be helpful in rounding up others...

Maybe she should have just lost the spent every moment after the loss crying about how her victory was stolen from her. That’s what real men do right? But please tell me more about these participation trophies you hate so much.
How can you cry about something being stolen from you when you leave it laying out in the open and walk away for your opponent to pick up and walk away with?
Again…dumb argument.
