one word coddlingWas her pressure life or death?
I'll answer it for you....no.
Don't tell me it was too much.
She needs to suck it up and cut out the drama. Period.

And the funny part is none of it really matters...AT ALL!!
Too much pressure....yeah ok.
So this thread went from "I'm not watching the olympics, those athletes don't care about our country...etc" to "How dare someone quit the olympics (that i'm "not" watching). There sure are a lot of open minded christians on here that are casting stones at someone's situation that they know nothing about.
Yes I get that someone else could have taken her place if she wasn't mentally prepared but we don't know what happened. That girl had the weight of the country on her shoulders, everybody expected her to take the gold in all her events. That's a lot of pressure. People breakdown mentally all the time at no fault of their own. Also in case you didn't realize, the judges were adjusting her scores because she is so much better than everyone else. They basically wanted a more level playing field for the other competitors. That has to knock you down mentally as well.
We don't need to celebrate that she quit but we don't need to criticize her either.
How many couches does she have?We do need to criticize her, as she just took it to the alter and decided to run. Not cool.
The world could give a shit about some American gymnast, it only matters to her, the team she completely let down, her couches that she also completely let down, and about 1,000,000 fans that will disappear as soon as the Olympics is over.
Complete waste of her time, her teams time, her couches/trainers/janitors time. Her couches should not be couching Olympians either if they cant get her to get excited and do what she has spent her life training to do.
I am speaking just to my nodakangler friends, not to her, or the general public, so I am by no means bulling her, or any of that nonsense. Just stating what she is doing is pure BS. Easier to quit than loose.
I feel bad for the athletes that are there representing their country in a respectful manner, I just wish they would stand up to the squeaky wheels that are pissing the populace off. I hear from some people that us that aren’t watching the nfl,nba,olympics etc just like free speech when it suits us. To that I say bs. Companies have been dictating to employees how they are able to use their “free speech” for years to allow for their company to not be taken down by their employees points of view. I don’t know when or how all these entertainers and athletes got the idea anyone needs to be exposed to their crappy opinions while they are “working” just because they feel self important. If speaking their mind is more important than keeping viewers then more power to em but I’ll just continue to tune out. Especially for the athletes that are doing it while they represent the USA.
Meh, I'd have given her some emergency whiskey. She would have thought she do it all and then punch out the coaches for looking at her funny.
This concept has slipped you all these years?note to self
Put emergency rum flask in all boats, SxS, and truck.
