Simone Biles returns to Olympics as the circus screams on around her

The VIPs have hooked themselves to the US star’s cultural celebrity, desperate to bathe in her reflected glory

I caught this earlier today. Olympics is impossible to avoid. I didnt know she was appearing.

She must be Americas greatest sporting hero. You are very lucky.

Yeah, she jumps and she leaps. Very very well.

Brady is the all time best Football quarterback. Mahomes is outstanding as a QB. Biles jumps around a lot. And gets medals for leaping.

This thread got seriously weird. Lets just re-circle and state that in gymnastics, she is a walking legend.

She certainly is. Do most women do gymnastics? Sports affects us all different. Take Soccor. I don't give one moment thought to that sport. Rugby ditto. This happens every 4 years as to the Olympics. And if you hate the sport they feature, they create new ones. Such as Breakdancing.

Football only matters in the US.

There are fans in Europe for the Pro teams. But globally that sums it up as you did.

Biles bores the hell out of billions of humans. She however does not bore me at all.

American football is popular in a lot of Asian and Latin American countries. NFL merch is everywhere in stores in Mexico.

Since we are talking about US Sports makes sense that American Football would be in the mix

That is news to me. Did not know about that.

A lot of Mexicans are Dallas Cowboy fans. They're also big in places like Arizona. I think Pittsburgh and Dallas have the most fans outside their cities. Sort of like many people in foreign countries wearing New York Yanks caps.

Very true. My wife and I went to visit relatives in Eastern Europe, and all they really wanted from the US was NY Yankees and Dallas Cowboys merch.
