Simone Biles just up and quits on her team? WTF?
Athletes have turned into total snowflakes. Amazing to think that someone so many people looked up to, in reality, was way to fragile for competition.
Somewhere Kerri Strug is laughing her ass off.

The sad thing she is being considered brave by her teammates. I swear it seems like a lot of things have turned upside down.

The only thing more astonishing than the act itself is the reaction.
It's like the Twilight Zone.

You guys do realize this was a woman that was sexually abused for years as a child, right? Let me know when one of you deals with that and if you know for sure how it would affect you and when. GTFOOH.

Life isn't fair.
The time for dealing with those issues is before you sign up to be a teammate on a national Olympic squad.
Once you are there, battling to attain great things with your teammates quitting is quitting.
