When?

I concur and would add take a walk on the beam.

I can offer an easier solution than that.

Just don’t be an ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  It’s that simple.

I don’t get why it’s so important for people to tear down Biles over this. Why does it matter, AT ALL, to people to try to denigrate her and knock her down a peg? Why is that important to do? (other than ā€œbecause I canā€ of course).

Don’t know if this is true but…

Larry Nassar

he worked for the National team from 1996-2014.
the FBI confirmed 265 people who were sexual assault by him but it could be higher.

most of the national team in 2016 confirmed that they were sexual assaulted by him, as did most of the national team in 2012.

this wasn’t just single times either some woman were abused hundreds of times over period of years starting as young as 12.

Simone was on the Junior team during Nassar employment.

What year?

2011-2014.

she never gave dates, but it was during that period.

And won 4 gold medals in 2016? After and much closer to the assault?

If she’s broken, the US gymnastic system broke her. Inconceivable that Nassar guy got away with that crap in this day and age.

He didn’t get away with it. He’s in prison.

Has she said she’s broken? That it’s because of the assault?

He got away with it for years.

Sure. And now he’s not.

Damage is done.

Agreed, that’s how due process works.

Has she said this had anything to do with it?

I’m beginning to think these female gymnasts are acting out the plot of Stick It, the 2006 comedy drama starring the American National Treasure Jeff Bridges.

She doesn’t have to say anything for rational people to know she was damaged by something like that.

Or we can all assume. She won 4 gold medals in 2016.

That isn’t evidence she was unharmed by the team molester.

Is it not evidence she is able to compete and win in spite of the harm?

Reaction to something like that isn’t steady state, it fluctuates.
