Announcers were clutch putting the hex on the Brazilian
Simone Biles suffered a mental health breakdown, one that was so severe she couldn't continue to compete. It is no different than an athlete suffering a physical health breakdown that is so severe they are not able to continue to compete. It was not physically visible because it is not a physical injury, yet it is still an injury and a debilitating one.
It is sad, but not surprising, that many people are incapable of understanding this.
——
On July 27, 2015, Biles was an 18-year-old world champion who arrived at USAG headquarters in Indianapolis for a series of appearances to promote one of their events. For two days, Biles signed autographs and did other favors to please USAG officials. Penny personally drove Biles and her mother to some of the functions and had extended conversations with her, according to John Manly, an attorney for Biles and other victims. Biles even appeared at a birthday party for Penny’s daughter.
You know what Penny failed to mention over those two days? In fact, failed to breathe so much as a word of, much less warn her of? The fact that he had credible evidence Nassar was a molester.
On July 25, shortly before Biles arrived in Indianapolis, Penny had learned of an “unambiguous claim of sexual abuse” by Nassar against a gymnast from a private investigator, who told him he was obliged to go straight to law enforcement. Instead Penny went straight to the USOPC, calling CEO Scott Blackmun for advice. On July 27, even as Biles was in Indianapolis smiling for the cameras and signing autographs, Penny scheduled a meeting with the local FBI. And on July 28, he met with the FBI’s Abbott, who subsequently smothered the investigation for months while Penny explored getting him a job at the USOPC.
And he never said a word to Biles.
If you think conduct like this is past tense for these organizations, think again. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the USOPC and USAG have perpetuated their coverup with civil court motions. They have hidden from accountability with bankruptcy proceedings. They have demanded that in exchange for any civil settlement, Biles and others who suffered Nassar’s assaults issue blanket liability releases that would protect a rogue’s gallery of well-known abusers, as well as Penny. And they have fought to keep the depositions of Penny, Blackmun and former chairman Larry Probst under seal.
Under seal.
Does that sound like these organizations have turned over a new leaf and become more “athlete-centered?” They had the nerve to feign support for Biles this week. They are not her supporters. They are her tormentors.

I have not watched every minute of NBC's Olympics coverage, but have they mentioned any of the sexual abuse, at all, during the coverage?
Obviously in terms of guilt it's
Nassar
USA Gymnastics
Enablers like Penny
NBC
but NBC is on the list if they haven't said a word about how this might have impacted the proceedings of the last few days
Right. I think when she muffed the vault she realized she just didn't have it. Her withdrawal probably actually helped the team. Biles has been the face of our women's team for years, clearly the best gymnast in the world, despite having been molested when she was younger and the pressure on her not only to perform but to lead. She's done well. Gymnastics needed Biles more than she needed gymnastics, but she has soldiered on and now it seems to have caught up with her. With her gone, the women's team will have to get better. They can't just rely on her constant scoring to win. This is bad for Biles, but may turn out to be a good thing for the US Women's Gymnastics team.
You can blame their shitty parents too.
That's some catholic church type shit.
Word on the Street is the Simone usually takes Riddlin for ADHD, but it is banned in this Olympics due to Japanese policy so she has not been able to take it.
That would make ALOT of sense about what happened.
