I'm not unsympathetic to Simone I'm just not overly sympathetic. Her spotlight is 2 weeks every 4 years. She worked her whole life for those two weeks. So it's kind of sad that she couldn't FINISH. But that's her choice
Its the talking heads that are annoying me now. You don't preach to wage slaves like myself who spent decades going to work every day and did not always feel like it. At all. Yet we endeavor to persevere.
She did what she did. It's not particularly courageous. It is what it is -
If I was her teammate I would never speak to her again.

Without really knowing anything at all about the details, I'm quite sympathetic to her. One does not get to her level without significant resolve. If something's going on to overcome that resolve, it must be substantial. I think most of the furor is due to third-parties billboarding her relentlessly the last month or two. The narrative of this Olympics is clearly Woman First, and she is the First Woman of it. Thus, the snapback is harsher.RaceBannon said:I'm not unsympathetic to Simone I'm just not overly sympathetic.

That and some of us having our fill of being told what to think about everything. I have no issue with her being the face of the OlympicsGrundleStiltzkin said:

It is also generational. I'm from the rub some dirt on it pussy generation. My dad and older brother would have beat me senseless for quitting
Now I'm not saying that didn't cause issues. I just self medicate them away. We were also told that no one will feel sorry for us so shut up -
Me neither. She earned it. Next woman up, Jordan Thompson.RaceBannon said:

Imagine making 3 on 3 basketball an Olympic sport. Why not 1 on 1? That'd be more entertaining and would bring out the best NBA players.GrundleStiltzkin said: -
