It still means a lot less people are choosing to watch the Olympics……. The tracking devices can tell if you are watching the olympics through regular means or streaming the olympics.

It's over for Osaka! Tokyo Olympics' poster girl Naomi is Beaten in Straight Sets by Marketa Vondrousova in the last-16 and admits the pressure got to her with 'the scale of everything being hard'

Naomi Osaka's bid to become the first Japanese player ever to win tennis Olympic gold came to a abrupt halt as she was beaten in straight sets by Marketa Vondrousova in the last-16.

Vondrousova, who reached the final of the French Open in 2019, was ruthless in her execution and having took the first set 6-1 in just 24 minutes, she held her nerve in the second set to run out 6-1, 6-4 winner.

Osaka swiftly departed the court and did not stop to speak to reporters after the match

Your reading comprehension is awful if this is what you took from what he said. To extend it to all Christians, you’re implying that the concept of heaven/hell is the one thing keeping all Christians from devolving into rapists and murderers

Sticks and carrots are how life works, at work where you spend 1/3 your life, and have little say and another 1/3rd sleeping.
Have no idea what your second sentence has to do with anything.
Face it..you live by carrots and sticks or tell ur manager to FO and see what happens

I’m not going to tell my manager to FO because I don’t want to, the stick isn’t the one thing keeping me from doing it

Poor thing. You'd think after a loss she could still stop by press to discuss some social injustice somewhere in the world.

WALSH: Simone Biles Quit On Her Team And Her Country. She Should Not Be Celebrated For It. | The Daily Wire

From the way that Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is being praised this week, you might think that the decorated superstar put on a heroic display during the team competition in Tokyo and led her squad to a gold medal.

Prominent politicians like Ayanna Pressley and Cori Bush have made public statements applauding her. The White House Press Secretary expressed “gratitude and support.” Deadspin gushed over “the most impressive move of her career.” Former Olympians joined in the group hug. Articles have been written extolling her bravery and declaring that her achievements this week have sent a “powerful message” to the world. CNN called her performance “impactful.” She has been hailed for her strength and for “setting an amazing example” and being a great athlete and role model. Women’s advocacy groups have thanked her.

It was all perhaps the most effusive praise that has ever been heaped on a quitter.

That is what Simone Biles did to earn this exuberant applause. She gave up

remember? Female bad. Gay female waaaay bad. Gay female that “tells it like it is” = maximum conservative outrage! Nevermind the fact that she’s a member of the only soccer team that will ever bring a World Cup championship to US soil.

Treating prioritizing mental health as "oh she's a quitter" is going to age very very poorly

Sure you are. You can leave and find another carrot/stick if you like.

You can remove the carrots and sticks and I'm not telling people to FO just because, so no, I'm not. If the people you like are good people ONLY because of carrots and sticks, that seems like a bad sign

Simone Biles is the most talented gymnast of this generation, maybe the past hundred years. Her routines are performed at such a level that other gymnasts have sustained career ending injuries trying to copy them.

The Olympic Committee told her than her ability would be ignored and her performance would be scored down in order to prevent other gymnasts from attempting to compete at her level.

She could either perform her sport-breaking routine and barely medal, change her routine and not medal at all due to lack of time to practice, or go home.

In the end, she used her free speech to protest the asinine rules by the Olympic Committee and send a message that her exceptional ability should be celebrated, not penalized.

She did the conservative thing. And it's been celebrated. Except, oddly, by here.

It’s widely documented that we have whole generations of “quitters” with mental health issues starting with the millennials thru gen z.
