She didn’t say it was a “family event”.

It turned out to be a family reason.

Grown commentators on social media ASSuming make fools of themselves.

Leaving things open to speculation creates speculation.

What created speculation in this scenario was a partisan hack looking for attention. And people gladly hopped on board to attack her as anti-American and a bad teammate. All because a partisan hack said some asshat things.

What created speculation (and excuses including sexual harassment as the cause) was her lack of communication while on a world stage.

She’s not obligated to share, if she doesn’t there’s going to be speculation.

You must not have seen the link I posted where viewership is down 49 percent.

Seems like the story continues to change.

Were they worldwide figures?

What does that have to do with anything? The olympics is down as a whole in the US!Ratings continue to plummet. The only thing interesting is watching team Slovenia a country of 2 million people run through everyone in basketball during these Olympic Games. And yes! Luka Doncic is a world wide figure, he just landed the cover of NBA 2K22

The hint might be in the name: Olympic Games.

Bzzzt.

No one was forced to speculate rude and insulting things about her. That was a choice.

I didn’t say anything about “forced to”.

It wasn’t anyone’s business.

She violated not one rule of the sport.

There are four alternates on the U S team. Are these conservatives wearing their patriotism on their sleeves implying in a sneaky mean sort of way usually associated with SJWs that the other team members and alternates can’t perform without the absent one?

Do they possess psychic knowledge that the U S Team would have one the Team Gold with Ms. Biles? Maybe she would have erred & cost them any medal, and they’d be griping she should have withdrawn.

They’ve made asses of themselves via social media, and have made the conservative movement look bad with such a juvenile mindset. I thoroughly understand anyone who isn’t comfortable with it.

You said created speculation. There was no speculation until someone engaged in the act of speculation… It was a response to something that happened. The speculation is only the fault of the person who did it. And a whole lot of people in this thread very joyfully and happily engaged in nasty and rude speculation for no reason.

Apparently I’m not the only one upset about her commercial.

22,000 locations and supposedly a “bunch” of franchisees don’t like it. Much ado about nothing.

It’s a commercial. Why are you wasting time watching them?

Fat shaming is a real thing! You can’t avoid commercials.

If you use polarizing figures to promote your business, some of your customers will stop coming. It’s a really poor business decision.
