That isn't hate, it is just fundamental to sports. Sports aren't for everyone, but if you dress to play, play until you can't.

Who is hating on Biles? I think the gymnastics leaders are to blame…

Maybe not hating, but there have been multiple posts calling her mentally weak,

Well she did literally quit so that seems a statement of fact. But I do agree

There’s a pretty significant distinction between factually stating that someone

Again, she did quit on her team. Literally. The literal definition of the word

You don't need to know anything about gymnastics, just human feelings and nature

Not even close to the GOAT, but she deserves compassion at this point.

As far as career accomplishments in her sport, she is definitely the greatest

Kavorka

What is your definition? The gymnastics moves she's been able to do? Medal count?
