MAGA Sycophant Mocked After Clip Shows Him Calling Simone Biles "Weak Little Gymnast"

The entire sports press community reported she withdrew due to "mental stress and pressure" or some variation thereof.

The GOAT choked under pressure.
Legitimate criticism.

“All of a sudden, there’s a disconnect in the feedback loop,” Matthew Sacco, a sports psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, explained. “The brain and body are no longer communicating efficiently, and that causes a gymnast to lose sense of where their body is in space while they’re in the air.”

There are varying levels of the twisties. A gymnast could shake them after one turn or practice, or they can escalate, lasting for days, weeks, and even months, as the anxiety associated with the condition compounds the problem

Seems like a prolonged case of “The Yips” in Golf where you can’t make a two foot putt


Only difference is you get “The Yips” on the Balance Beam you can end up crippled instead of having to take an extra stroke


Why would you want Simone Biles to compete when it could injure her?
 
She did quit. That is a fact.

I’m glad she came back and won gold this time around, but she did quit in 2020 and cost the team the gold medal.
She considered her own safety more important than winning a medal.

Or when a pitcher all of a sudden cannot hit the strike zone to save their lives.
 
Mark Robinson, avowed MAGA sycophant and North Carolina gubernatorial candidate, is coming under heavy fire on social media after footage surfaced of him attacking beloved Olympian gymnast Simone Biles.

“I ain’t no little weak gymnast that quits when the going gets tough,” Robinson said during a 2021 campaign event. “My generation’s cut from a different cloth.”

His comments were made when Biles – the most decorated gymnast in the history of the Olympic games – was on a mental health break. She returned to Paris this year and has already led the U.S. team to a gold-winning victory.


So they attack Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, and Simone Biles, and women that don't have children. This should go well.
Quitting under stress is exactly what she did in the 2020 Olympics. When she was taken to task by the public, she returned for one event. That doesn't take away from her abilities as a gymnast, but it is telling about her character when she was willing to let her team members down.

No one is going to be crippled falling three or four feet off a balance beam onto a heavily padded floor. An athlete took a far worse fall off (I believe) the uneven bars kicked herself in the head and continued to compete.
