| Time Magazine Names Simone Biles as 'Athlete of the Year' for Withdrawing from 2020 Olympics | |
| 2021-12-10 | |
| [BREITBART] Time magazine revealed a controversial pick for its "athlete of the year" award on Thursday handing the crown to U.S. gymnast Simone Biles, not because she did well, but because she pulled out of events during the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Biles had a relatively poor showing at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo winning only a silver and bronze medal in two events, compared to the handful of golds she won during the 2016 Olympics. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... Time did not laud her for winning the two lesser medals as much as it did for her decision to pull out of several events in 2020 for her "mental health." In July, Biles abruptly pulled out of several events claiming that she did so for her mental health. Specifically, Biles said she suffered from the "Twisties." A condition that affects gymnasts when they lose their spacial awareness as they’re flying through the air. I know several people who are more deserving of recognition. They never even showed up!

| #2 TIME Mag. long ago went Bat $hit crazy. Her 32 Olympic and World Championship medals ties her for being the most decorated gymnast in the world. THAT deserves acknowledgement. To me ANY Olympic medal is worthy fame and NOT a Lesser Medal. An she has 7 of them. Remember: Biles was one several that testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the FBI's Mis-handling of sexual abuse claims against former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar. |

| #1 Withdrawing, she's jock of the year... And next year as well -- never fear! "I'll compete with great keenness, Replete with a penis, Pull out, shed a tear, and turn queer." "Any plans for a threepeat, Ms.Biles?" "Honey, you wouldn't believe me if I told ya." |
