Regardless of that... It's extremely selfish because her spot could have been given to someone else. These things only happen once every 4 years.

These Centennials ARE built different as fukk, holy shyt.

Quitting in the middle of Olympic competition is tough

I'm almost certain her spot will be given to someone else

Don't they have alternates for this very reason?

Are yall watching the Olympics or just posting about stuff you not watching?

I'm certain her spot on the team won't be vacant. It will more than likely be given to one of the alternates.

If Simone didn't compete in the qualifying round, more than likely the US doesn't qualify as someone else stated.

For all we know this was their plan all along. She would compete in the qualifier to make sure the US team qualified and then she would back out and let someone else take her spot in that competition.

I mean I don't know, I'm speculating but you are too. If you can speculate, so can i

I don’t really have a problem with what Simone did but I also think she’s being given more grace than most would get. I can not imagine Patrick Mahomes leaving during the middle of Super Bowl or LeBron leaving during the middle of the Finals and them not getting completely shytted on

Breh, today was the final team competition. She quit the day of. They didn’t use their alternate, I’m not sure she was even dressed and warmed up. The team competition is done. In no way was this the plan. The plan was to mop the competition and get a gold three peat for the women’s team. They been the most hyped squad in gymnastics with Russia and China looking to back them down, she gave ROC the win

and to the bolded...your post is the epitome of posting and not watching (or being knowledgeable about this sport)

Come on man, when is the last time the US didn't even qualify for the team finals? Yall acting like she swooped in and saved a program that was faltering. Bruh it was a medal program before she joined! Last year when she won overall gold, if she didn't compete the US would have still won overall gold and silver!

If LeBron did some shyt like this it would be carved into his tombstone.

I just try to give black folks the benefit of the doubt


I gave Sha'carri the benefit of the doubt before I found out she was just a dumbass

Started at 6:45am eastern. They are done, second place. Glad the team medaled but that wasn’t the goal at all

Once that alternate for Team USA (Kara Eaker) tested positive for COVID at the beginning of the Olympics, things have been spooky for USA women's gymnastics

Let's hope they finish strong and get gold in the individual events.

On one hand I see what you're saying breh. I mean these gymnasts will never have another chance for team gold, thats sponsorship money , wheaties etc. gone because the goat took her ball and went home

On the other hand if she was really concerned she was gonna screw up and get hurt i understand as well

Anybody else hate the way NBC covers the olympics? They focus way too much on already established people and swimming for some reason. I wish they spent more time on the combat sports like boxing, judo, wrestling, etc...I also wish they just have live feeds on the internet so people can see specific events in totality. Like I want to see some of these lesser known events.

Britain comin back from 0-21 to take the lead
