    And I didn't call you a fool.....it was foo!

    Now I'm off to a better butt-hurt thread!
    No I was comparing your reaction is different, and it shouldn't be. She did something wrong (quit on her team) and a rapist, etc do something wrong and we don't condone it. But I will just chalk it up "personal decision" on your part. Good day foo

      You do a mound visit, tell him to pull his head out of his arse and get after it. But the comparison doesn't work, because in the scenario, the closer just quits, walks off the mound and now you have to figure out who is gonna pitch now.

        You've never seen a pitcher tell his manager that he doesn't have it that day?

          Yep. I agree 100%. I was listening to the Jesse Kelly podcast this morning and he touched on this as well. If anyone is a podcast listener, I would recommend putting him in the rotation.

            Here's the problem with your argument..... The closer can't be the closer forever! Eventually he walks away. No matter how much you yell at him and pump him up he keeps giving up bombs.... Instead of giving up a bomb the closer, in this case biles, tells the coach she is done. Coach brings in another pitcher to finish the game.

              If it was any other athlete that did this and not a “little girl”, they would be getting hammered. Imagine Tom Brady quitting at halftime of a super bowl because it’s too “stressful”. He would be absolutely destroyed.

                The same folks would be bitching had she competed broke her neck and the USA didn’t medal. They would have said, she should have let the alternate compete. I’ve seen that movie plenty on TBH.

                  Andrew Luck did something similar and was booed by the fans, and it was just a preseason game.

                      The coach didn't bring in a new pitcher, this "pitcher" just walked off the mound in the middle of all this. And then made him/herself feel better by saying I just wanted to give someone else a chance. C'mon man. Winners don't always have it, and they fail, but one thing for sure is they don't quit on themselves, their team, or their dreams. But Simon did and somehow its a good thing....

                        My take was she got the equivalent of the "yips" with that vault. Horrible time for it to happen, but it has happened to plenty of athletes.

                        It would seem she bowed out to try to give the team a shot.

                        I guess we will see if she is able to overcome whatever is going on and tackle the individual events.

                          Pitchers can't kill themselves by throwing a ball at themselves either! This girl could have died by making a mistake. Have you watched her go flying through the air at incredible speeds? There's a big diference when your life could be on the line.

                            Maybe have an adult help you next time with your comparison, unless you think rape is a competition

                              Johnny Miller had the yips so bad he couldn’t putt. Chuck Knoblauch couldn’t throw a baseball from 2nd to 1st. Ian Baker Finch would snap hook the ball so bad he couldn’t even finish a round. Let alone flipping through the air trying not to become a quadriplegic.
