Playing it for all it's worth:

According to Fox Business Network, experts are already predicting that Biles’ current ten-million-dollar fortune is about the grow:

Legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg told FOX Business that Biles’ decision to be open and honest about her mental health in one of the biggest advertising forums in the world could make her “a very potent athletic spokeswoman for mental health.”

“This has been someone who’s been in the public eye for a long time, has a pristine record, and there will be people who think this is her finest moment,” Steinberg said. “Athletic achievement is valuable but helping people deal with life problems is an even greater service and so I think she comes out of this well.”


She'll be alright.

Isn't that right woke nation?

There is greatness in failure...

Fox didn't say shit. Steinberg, who doesn't rep Biles said it to the racist network. You bolded the wrong part so I fixed your mistake.

"Woke" has nothing to do with anything, you fucking piece of AJ.
 
Full-blown. His only genre of post is directed hate based on deficiencies in his life.

sean used to be that way before he got comfortable as a truck driver instead of being a fake physicist, remember?

Be true to yourself, l’il luk… the rest will follow.

Fascinating to watch certain delusional people of limited self awareness pretend to know something about competition at the international Olympic level. It’s an insult to all who have personally experienced this level of competitive excellence.

I have competed at the International level (and won as well as lost).
I know what high-level competition is. You cannot limit it to "Olympics."

But all you're going to do is discount everything I say because, you know, politics.
Your reaction is most likely the same as so many others here, based upon emotion.

I know, right?

I always respected the way you twirled the ribbons counterclockwise in your big somersault finish at the Key West Open.

So you had the entire country counting on you to bring home multiple gold medals year after year with expectations that you’d never lose, never disappoint. Cameras and reporters followed you everywhere. Every aspect of your personal life was investigated and reported. You were recognized literally everywhere in the world.

Right.
 
:rolleyes:

Like she's never been there before...

I love how an armchair athlete who talks the talk
can so denigrate an athlete who has walked the walk.

Oh, and by the way, by the time my sport was included in the Olympics, I was too old.

So fuck you and get off your high (pommel) horse.
You have no fucking idea as to what you are talking about
(and yes, I was representing my country as part of a team).
 
Surely you have better material than this, lanciepants.
 
Wynegar became the Yankees starting catcher in 1984, playing in 129 games.[3] His average dipped to .267 in 1984, and fell further to .223 in 1985, in part due to an injury that occurred when he was hit in the head by a foul ball while standing in the on deck circle.[3][20] In 1985, Wynegar caught both Phil Niekro's 3000th strike out and his 300th win.[21][22]

After three and a half seasons with New York, Wynegar became a free agent and re-signed with the Yankees for the 1986 season. However, the stress of playing for a high-profile team in New York City led by owner George Steinbrenner, manager Billy Martin, and then manager Lou Piniella began to wear on him and led to him suffering from a deep depression.[23][20][24][25] A contract dispute in 1985, the firing of Yankee manager Yogi Berra, and a personality conflict with new Yankee manager Billy Martin took their toll on Wynegar's morale.

Steve Sax Syndrome
Though never regarded as one of the top fielding second basemen in the league, Steve Sax inexplicably became incapable of making routine throws to first base in 1983, committing 30 errors that season.[7] This is referred to in baseball terminology as "Steve Sax Syndrome"the fielder's variant of "Steve Blass disease," named after the Pirates pitcher who suffered a similar breakdown of basic mechanics (also known as "The Yips"). As his accuracy suffered, fans sitting behind the first base dugout began wearing batting helmets as mock protection.[8] (Teammate Pedro Guerrero, an outfielder pressed into service at third base in 1983, once reportedly stated that his first thought whenever he was in the field was "I hope they don't hit it to me", while his second thought was "I hope they don't hit it to Sax.")[9] By 1989, however, Sax seemed to be completely "cured", leading the American League in both fielding percentage[10] and double plays.

Once considered one of the game's best fielders (in fact, ESPN personalities nicknamed him "Fundamentally Sound" Chuck Knoblauch), Knoblauch's play deteriorated shortly into his Yankee career; his errors at second doubled from 13 in 1998 to 26 the following year; all of these were throwing errors. In 2000, he began to have difficulty making accurate throws to first base, a condition sometimes referred to in baseball as the "yips" or "Steve Sax syndrome" in more recent years.

Knoblauch tried various solutions to his problem, but his throwing did not improve. He made 15 errors in less than half a season in 2000, including 10 throwing miscues

You can't be anything but a shitty troll. Whole E. Shit.

I'm probably the only person in this thread who has actually been on an Olympic Team.

Right.

The important thing is that he feels better about himself because he is able to place himself above her. ;)
 
I never said or intimated that and you know it.
I just offered insight and possible explanation.

You react to her out of complete ignorance and
expect that ignorance to be taken as experience.

More talking the politically-correct talk...

You compared your defeat in a fight 50 years ago to a young person of color female who dominates her sport.

Your insight is as useless as you.

You always do. It's your MO. We can't help that you don't connect your actions to observable reality.

As to the rest of your drivel... well, it's just drivel.
