That's what the uninformed think...there will be someone new in 4 years. SB won the world championships in 2013. There has been no, "wait for 4 years and there will be someone else." Those who follow the sport know that if SB is competing, there no one waiting in the wings to take her title. That's been true for 11 years, and will continue as long as SB competes.

Shirley, you understand the difference between a phobia and clinical depression. If a gymnast is afraid of being a gymnast then they don't have to be a gymnast anymore. They can literally not do those things. When one is clinically depressed they can't escape it. And even phobias can cross over to a point to be truly unhealthy like someone who's agoraphobic, but let's not act like Simone biles has to be a gymnast. She doesn't.

I don’t know that this played any part but keep in mind that as this was going on, the Nassar abuse shit was going down too. I’m sure that was in her head at the time too and who can blame her for being traumatized from that monster |

So, a phobia is just a loss of focus, now? You're kind of moving the goalposts here, bud. First it was 'she just lost focus, that's not a mental health thing,' and now it's 'there's a difference between a phobia and clinical depression.' Both of which are mental health issues, last I checked. So, let's have you narrow your argument down to either your original assertion, or you can admit you made a mistake/moved the goalposts, and we just move on from there. |

Where does Simone Biles rank?
Regardless of why, she had to withdraw from the Super Bowl and when you are talking about the best of the best across all sports, that’s a hair that is fairly split and is within reason to factor in to the calculus of who is the greatest.

Go back and reread your posts, bud. You moved the goalposts here. Don't be one of those insufferable pussies and double down on your mistake. We've all done it here and there, no biggie. just own it, and move on. |
