No one should be surprised in an era where men are allowed to dress as women and compete with the ladies, all while claiming to be women, that the USA Gymnastics women’s program vice-president called Ms. Biles‘ act “incredibly selfless.” Up is down. Down is up.
It wasn’t selfless. It was incredibly self-centered and selfish. The list of those Simone Biles let down includes much more than just her teammates. Corporate sponsors including Athleta, Nabisco, Uber Eats, United Airlines provided Biles income in seven figures. The pressure wasn’t too great for her to cash the checks. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee puts millions into training facilities, coaches and more to make these athletes the most competitive they can be. That time, money, and effort were all wasted. Why? Because Ms. Simone didn’t feel like it in Tokyo.
