Topic	Simone Biles out of team gymnastics competition at Olympics with 'mental issue'
Number090684 07/27/21 9:35:03 AM #27:	CreekCo posted... Reading some of the hot takes here blaming her and also her dealing with discrimination from the Olympics, I don't blame her for pulling out. They probably threatened her. Nah, I'm not exactly buying the racism take with these particular olympics involving her. She generally does a amazing job, but she's been slipping up recently in Tokyo. She is bowing out because she may have injured herself and / or due to psychological issues due to the mistakes and pressure from the team, the media, the US and even herself. Hell the US probably knows it can't win this time against some of the competition so if our best steps down, they can use her abscence as a excuse for the loss and save face compared to if she stayed in, and they still lost. <cite>Number090684 posted [p:956505435] in Simone Bil...
