Do you realize how much Simone has accomplished at her age than anything REMOTELY close to the nothingness Simmons has. This is a terrible comparison and shows how little the world knows what Simone has already done is damn near MJ level in the gymnastic realm. Wake up bro. Simmons isn’t near her level by a mile and then some.

To be fair, its not about what Ben or Simone have accomplished. Its about the pressures and mental anguish that those environments can produce.
We tend to belittle male athletes when it comes to their mental health.

Yea, trying to understand how poster is trying to inject accomplishments into the arguments. There have been way too many to name athletes who’ve gotten shyt on from sports media and fans. that has had a negative affect on their psyche and more times than not, they didn’t pull back but leaned in further on the criticisms and attacks. We just seen this shyt with Kwame

We belittle them regardless. I don’t see it as a male female thing. Osaka and Simone are getting dragged through the mud right now. There’s an argument to be had here for sure. But I don’t see gender being it. We as a society want our athletes to be super human almost robotic like. How dare they feel…human ?

other poster got it...it’s not about comparing them as far as where they stand in their sport. It’s the different treatment.

And Simone and Osaka aren’t being drug by anyone except some combination of right wing, old head, race baiters. I highly doubt Lebron walking off the court 5mins into the first quarter gets an article calling it the most GOAT thing a GOAT can do.

I have no issue with Biles doing what she needed to do to protect herself, but it’s received completely different for women and it’s a big problem society can’t give that grace to men...having convos with my bros, male friends, and my dude, I’m cognizant of how much vulnerability y’all have to just hide, and that’s not ok for mental stability in and of itself, let alone the actual issue y’all may be dealing with.

Man, if the Heat "upgrade" is Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan, I'm going to cackle. Especially with how Dan and Mouthy Producer talked shyt about the both of them for years.

I’m dying at Cote’s Kendrick Perkins impersonation - the subtle “Rachel” at the end :laff:

That whole stretch was golden fukkery. Amin trolling hard trying to encourage him to do it. :mjlol:

On the other end, I made the mistake of not skipping immediately when I noticed that one of the hours was Samson. That dude is the absolute fukking worst in every single conceivable way.

I actually enjoy samson when he talks baseball and business. All of it.

what i hate is everything else. Trying to be funny, his movie critiques, etc.

they do rehash the same topics with him. Which also gets stale.

I hate how Dan tries to make the non Latino Whites the faces of racism when it’s always a Jew like Stugotz or Samson especially considering that Dan is more white than them
