She was already the GOAT, so we need to invent a new term. I’m still trying to acquire the wisdom @Simone_Biles has at her age.
You can’t help anyone (friend, child, partner, country) without first taking care of yourself.
The Olympics is not war. #SimonBiles

You’re a legend for many reasons, @Simone_Biles.
The strength it takes for women (especially young, and especially from underrepresented and marginalized communities) to love and value ourselves enough to say “This is my limit”: radical & beautiful.
Definition of role-model.

All of the above and this, besides: #SimoneBiles #SimoneStrong #simonebilesgoat

I know these defenses of @Simone_Biles are well-intentioned, but they downplay the more important point above.
It’s not that a “really bad performance” costs her team an Olympic placement.
Supporting the team means valuing herself enough to care for her health. #SimoneStrong

An Olympic medal may be hard to win, but a hell of a lot harder to gain:
The strength, courage, and self-love to know your limits — no matter how much, or who, is expecting your help and might be “disappointed.”
GOAT of GOATs, #SimoneBiles #SimoneStrong #simonebilesgoat

I only cared about #Tokyo #Olympics to see Simone Biles soar.
But I’m WAY happier she pulled out for the reasons she did than I’d be watching her compete. If you need to ask why, scroll up.
To me, she’s still the all-around GOAT and all-around gold. 100%.

I don’t believe for a second a young white female athlete would face the shit being slung at @Simone_Biles. Not one second.
She doesn’t owe anyone the sacrifice of her well-being. She’s not your entertainment.
THAT dynamic is why her decision is even more worthy of praise.

Don’t talk to me about the Olympics and “patriotism.”
Want to be proud of your country?
When this nation celebrates and loves Black women for valuing themselves enough to set limits, I’ll host the party at mine.
#SimoneBiles #SimoneStrong #simonebilesgoat
The End.
