Nadia Comaneci has ruined her legacy with the roll she played in Jordan Chiles being stripped of her bronze medal. Nadia, with all due respect (none), get fucked.
Oh my god.
Jordan. I am so sorry this system is failing you right now.
I hope
@USAGym
is doing SOMETHING and EVERYTHING to support her right now and fight this asinine decision.
We love you Jordan.
Sweetie. You didn’t make the Olympic team.
You were an Olympian representing USA Gymnastics, but you were not on the team. Evidenced by your lack of a Team Silver Medal.
IF EYE SEE ONE MORE GODDAMN PERSON COMPARE GYMNASTICS TO A BALL SPORT
If a running back has an "off day" they drop a ball. If a gymnast has an "off day" they literally could unalive themselves.
I'm not sure why this is even a comparison!
Blinn is not a feeder school for A&M, you troglodyte.
It's an open enrollment community college.
That's like calling Bunker Hill Community College a feeder school for Harvard.
Unfortunately, the end of my high school career was robbed from me. I didn't have the time other students get to properly prepare for the future.
I look forward to attending Blinn College District this year, a feeder school for Texas A&M.
I'm excited to join Texas A&M in 2023!
Me: *goes to Starbucks in my hoodie from US Nationals*
Guy: “oh gymnastics! You like gymnastics?! You ever heard of Suni Lee?! She just won Gold at the Olympics”
Me: “yeah… ”
Him: “are you a real fan?? Do you know she’s so good at the uneven beams?!”
😒🙄
you people: it’s not Simone’s job to stop people from bullying Mykayla
also you people: Nadia Comaneci is directly responsible for people being racist to Jordan
*taps microphone*
so NBC - just cause Simone is back and we’re all excited…
DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE TO IGNORE OTHER GYMNASTS’ ROUTINES FOR RANDOM B ROLL OF HER
thank you for your time
The fact that she has BRAGGED multiple times about the fact that her coaches and parents didn’t “let” her get abused is… interesting in contrast to this….. “apology”.
But what do I know??
OpenAI did its best.
I will say — if nothing else — I am so proud of how the Gymternet came together to defend Simone, protect her, and show her love.
I know that we’re a niche community with different perspectives and faves, but we come together when we need to.
Jordan is the sweetest, most supportive, most valuable team member.
Through disappointment. Through injury. Through conflict. Through criticism.
Everyone has nothing but great things to say about her.
And I just hate that someone so amazing is going through this…

Is it bad to wanna dress up, have fun, and twerk/dance with your friends? Is this preventing them from being successful or smart? No?... oh ok.

No it's really not. A CEO of a multimillion dollar company could wear a bikini and shake her ass on a beach in Bali and it doesn't make her any less capable or intelligent. Do better.
The World Champions Centre in Houston features a majority Black elite team, a rarity in gymnastics, but a change Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles want to continue to see in the sport.
Ugh. I just wish the American gymnasts would all just refuse to compete for USAG. Literally organize and go to the USOPC or Congress or whomever and say “we will not compete for this organization any more.”
It’s a pipe dream, but the mistreatment is getting so out of hand.
I am so glad that Simone felt comfortable enough on the world's biggest stage to say "I'm mentally not okay today and don't wanna hurt myself"
That is... it's honestly so endearing and relatable. Our biggest challenges may not be the Olympics but we can say "I'm not okay today"
I'm glad that Simone ,as a grown ass adult, and Cecile, as a coach that respects her wishes, could make a decision to pull her for not being mentally there today.
Simone is a competitor and I'm sure she hated admitting that, but it's better for her LONG TERM well being.
Awww i hate that Simone thought people wouldn’t support her 😭
Simone, we love you and the fact that you are normalizing working on your mental health is amazing for so many people!
Keep taking care of you 🤍

This is exactly what I said. Summer is too crowded for Star Wars movies to have legs. One of the reasons Rogue One made so much money is because it was the only game in town for weeks! They should’ve pushed to December and keep the movies there.
A lot of people forget that while dominating... Simone is helping to support and give publicity to a sport and federation that helped to abuse her.
A governing body that has done nothing to fix things without her tweeting about it.
She deserves so much.
“In 2018 I kind of realized, Wow, I’m one of the only remaining [Nassar] survivors in the sport. They can’t brush that under the rug, and they can’t stop talking about it,”
@simone_biles
says.
i know we say it every time - but imagine going through all the shit that kara is detailing out and still performing at such a consistent and high level that she's putting up 9.95s and 10s for a team that didn't give an actual fuck about her.
strength on a different level.
The GymMom who complained about Simone not being smiley and bubbly and questioning if it’s her ADHD meds can screw herself six ways. I’m sorry, but this crap every gymnast gets for not being joyful 24/7 even when having a disappointing meet. Gabby being the most recent example

@lindseylemke
Next step: all the members of the board who were complicit in burying accusations and help PAY OFF A GYMNAST ABUSED AS A MINOR... NEED. TO. GO.
Here’s a national USAG judge agreeing with a Facebook post saying the Haney suspension is “insane” and calling for the suspension to be reduced down to a year of no unsupervised contact

This entitled woman really said “I’ll call my lawyer” because her kid couldn’t pet a service dog in training. My mom literally always told me “ask the lady/man before you pet their dog” cause some dogs don’t play those reindeer games
