Simone Biles has been making America and Houston proud for YEARS.
She has been the woman in the arena, a place that internet trolls know nothing about.
We can be disappointed in her decision, but until you’re the one stepping up to win gold, maybe sit this one out.

@savedbygrace005 I'm a victim of nothing. It says a lot about you - and who here actually needs to experience some growth - that you think the only reason someone could possibly care about something is because it's an issue that directly affects them.
All these dudes had to do was pretend not to be stupid assholes for one night and they couldn't handle it, so honestly I hope they end up getting dragged in front of Congress during the offseason when they'd rather be hunting or attending Klan rallies or whatever they do for fun.
In honor of the new Toy Story movie (5!? Seriously?), we've given the Toy Story Font & Logo Generator a complete overall to much more accurately capture the 3D and beveling effects of the real logo. Toggle between the old and new to see the difference https://t.co/6FwZr0YgW2
Later, a deputy with the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office claimed their son had a gun. But Jenuwine, an industrial field engineer traveling to repair million-dollar lasers, just had his work equipment; no gun was ever found in his van.
The following evening, 17 hours after killing their son, police told Jenuwine’s parents “that there was an exchange of gunfire, and that John was killed” John’s father, Larry Jenuwine, told The Intercept “Call it naïveté or whatever you want to call it, but our first thoughts were, ‘Oh my God, what did he do, why did he cause this?’….Come to find out, he didn’t do anything to cause any of this. He was not the guy that they were supposed to be chasing.”
Police crashed into a man’s van twice on purpose, fired 27 shots at him, and while the vehicle lay on its side, burning, at least eight cops watched as 34-year old Navy veteran John Andrew Jenuwine bled out and died inside. It turned out police chased the wrong man.
Important to remember no matter how much you like ABS challenges and pitch clocks, Rob Manfred is still a worm. No matter how much you love your favorite team, the ownership of said team is interested solely in squeezing every last nickel out of the sport before they croak.
MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.
Smaller draft, smaller bonus pools, fewer minor league teams, fewer scouts, smaller payroll. The only thing they want to add is playoff games, because owners get to keep all that money
And yet this group of people wants you to believe they’re stewarding the game in your interest
The fascinating and unfortunate subtext of MLB’s bargaining posture for decades now is this:
They are comfortable shrinking baseball, the sport, in exchange for further solidifying the institutional power of Major League Baseball, the corporation
