Simone Biles Attempts Cleanup

I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me…

You should fire your PR team

While an apology was necessary, this effort from Simone Biles is sterile and weird, especially coming so many hours after she attacked Riley Gaines with such ferocity.

In just a few tweets, Simone Biles revealed a lot about herself, and that can't be undone. Her "apology" for doesn't seem sincere. Her wordy statement seems like a poorly crafted concoction of a bad PR team.

High school and college athletes are old enough to understand when someone has an unfair advantage. They aren't victims of a "flawed system." Males participating in sports as females are exploiting the system.

The victims are the females.

Simone Biles Thinks Men Should Compete in Women's Sports

@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender… https://t.co/pjpzuZ0AlO

All the horrific sexual abuse @Simone_Biles witnessed and spoke out against caused by one man, yet believes women should be forced to strip naked in front of men to validate the man's feelings.

You know how many gold medals you'd have if your "inclusive" dream came true? Zero. pic.twitter.com/VycE1BvAMP

Simone Biles worked to become a champion in women's gymnastics. She succeeded, achieving greatness in her sport.

She never had to compete against men.

Here’s Simone Biles competing against a male gymnast and getting absolutely humiliated.

Is she sure she’s ok with men in women’s sports? pic.twitter.com/f3XvzSOH3U

Easy to say this @Simone_Biles when you only had to compete against fellow women. Every one of your Olympic medals came competing against fellow women. @Riley_Gaines_ was not only forced to compete against a man, but forced to share a locker room with a man. THAT is SICK.… https://t.co/YQl1uPJdVq

It's disappointing that one of the greatest female athletes, Simone Biles, isn't supporting women in sports.

This is so disappointing. My take is the least controversial take on the planet.

Simone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girls’ dreams? Didn’t have that on my bingo card.

Maybe she could compete in pommel horse and rings in 2028. https://t.co/Ptn35pyEvh

— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) June 6, 2025

Simone Biles is bullying Riley Gaines. I never thought of her as a bully.

What endorsements does this woman — who viciously and pettily opposes safety and fairness for other woman — have? Just curious. https://t.co/CY109MoZhL

— Mollie (@MZHemingway) June 7, 2025

Olympic champion Simone Biles is an Olympic champion because she didn’t compete against biological males. She’s also an Olympic size hypocrite and fool. You’d think she’d want to defend girls sports. But no. Just another woke phony.https://t.co/fOfDQJV9Rk

Simone Biles - 'Pro-Choice'

Our modern mindset is so broken & cruel:

“My life can overcome great odds but others’ can’t.”

“Born people deserve to live but not little unborn people.”

“Foster care and adoption can be broken so let’s support killing off would be adoptees before birth.”

Sad that Simone Biles doesn't realize how twisted her comments are.

Simone Biles Drops Out of Team Event - SILVER

When you eliminate considerations of team and country, you are left with athletes who walk out when they stop "having fun."

From Yardbarker:

Biles competed in Team USA’s first rotation on vault when she appeared to slip and land awkwardly on her knees. She was then expected to compete on uneven bars in the second rotations, but Jordan Chiles was subbed in. Biles then left the floor before returning to the arena in warmup gear to hug her teammates. She watched the remainder of the competition from the sideline, according to NBC Sports.

There was some speculation that Biles may have suffered an injury, but one of her coaches told the NBC broadcast that Biles withdrew for mental health reasons.

If Simone Biles had remained in the competition, it's possible the women would have won another gold. It's also possible she would have had less than her usual stellar performance and the team would have earned the silver it won without her.

Should she have dropped out?

Simone Biles is the best and she's expected to deliver her best. That's an incredible amount of pressure to bear.

Meanwhile, an official USA Gymnastics statement: “Simone Biles has withdrawn from the team final competition due to a medical issue. She will be assessed daily to determine medical clearance for future competitions.”

If she's truly suffering crippling anxiety, she needed to drop out.
