If his sentiment was that people were attacking her personally, I agree that shouldn't happen.

I think it was far and away mostly about the competitor/gymnast, and not the person. How it affected her team, etc. Those are fair areas to go for.

People attacking her personally are out of bounds though. Just haven't seen it here. Hopefully stays that way.

No one hates Simone Biles. Discussion and second guessing is part of sports and sports boards in particular.

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

No hate. But greatest ever after this? I dont know enough about gymnastics 2 say

7/27/21 1:58pm

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

Kilgruman

Not the GOAT. Very, very good. But quitting on your team is a terrible thing

reddead

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

wilsdad

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?

It's not what she did. It's when she did it that is drawing the criticism. GOAT
