Simone Biles: NO LONGER A FAN!
I have been a long time fan of Simone Biles. I was disappointed when she didn't compete in the Tokyo Olympics. Not disappointed in her. Just that I wouldn't be seeing her complete. But I supported her wanting to prioritize her mental health.
Fast forward to now. It's been said by Simone Biles that she wants people to stop saying to athletes "What's next?". She gives the impression that saying that is wrong. She comes across as shaming all those whom have ever said "What's next?" and it's like some huge disrespect to current achievements. It is not. It's appreciation for all achievements, a celebration of the current achievements, and admiration for anything else to comes.
I politely sent a tweet to Simone Biles pointing it out.

As you can see, I was in no way rude, mean, disrespectful, or uncivil.
Simone Biles must already be awake in Paris because this was her response to my tweet.

I could understand if I was rude or said something that could get her "flamed" or harassed. But I didn't. I was polite and trying to make her aware of something in a civil way.
I am now no longer a fan of Simone Biles. I no longer respect her as an athlete or person. I can't respect someone that can't handle polite criticism and politeness is making someone aware or how something looks. I also can't respect someone that shames anyone and everyone who's ever said "What's next?".
While I am no longer a fan and no longer respect Simone Biles, I will not tolerate any racist comments about her or those going too far in their comments about her that comes across as bullying. No one deserves to be bullied or harassed.
After this blog, I will no longer acknowledge or comment on any of Simone Biles's achievements. While she is a talented athlete, she comes across as it is some entitlement.
