I disagree. There are too many differences, as you pointed out several, to
compare gymnastics to team based sports. While Jordan never had to land a double backflip off of a bar, Biles never had to have the pressure of three-peating twice. While Brady never had the world watching him and waiting for him to mess up, Biles never threw an interception and then had to forget about it and still win.

All I’m saying is all athletes experience an immense amount of pressure. And to say one is greater than another is disingenuous to the athlete and the competition they find themselves in.

Cowherd kept saying she had 90 seconds to make it or break it. Thats just not true. She has been training and spending hours upon hours (arguably more than Jordan or Brady had by her age) to land that 90 second routine. While he highlights how short amount of time that is I could argue that Jordan and Brady played in hours long games that required complete focus the entire time.

It’s a bad take. I understand mental health and consider myself a great advocate for those suffering from it because pretty much everyone in my family has a form of depression. But she signed up for this. She should have finished.
