She was incredible in 2016, just the balls. Not so much in 2021. I understand she had issues/etc., but there are plenty of people that had issues and still fought through it with success. She didn't. She quit. Nothing noble about it. Nothing to celebrate about it. Mental health is certainly an issue to discuss, but quitting is not something I'd want to celebrate whilst giving a reward that dozens of others qualify for.

Does anyone really read or pay for the Times?

You got to know when to hang it up. She was having a poor showing at the Olympics, she should have just owned it and bowed out gracefully. She didn't and now most folks just want her to go away.
Time is simply doing this to trigger people and create controversy so their name stays out there.
And it worked on you suckers.
Everyone knows the female wrestler from the US stole the show.
Tamyra Mariama fought through her adversity to win. Simone Biles did not.

But they are both black. You're supposed to be a racist for thinking Biles shouldn't have won.
