Simone Biles’ Olympic Retreat Leaves Sponsors in the Lurch

Warner Todd Huston 28 Jul 2021

U.S. gymnast Simone Biles ‘ hasty and unexpected retreat from the Tokyo Olympics has left a list of sponsors coming up short this week.

On Tuesday, USA Gymnastics announced that the 24-year-old Biles had removed herself from competition “in order to focus on her mental health.”

However, as the world’s top gymnast headed to the locker room, she also sunk the hopes of a list of sponsors who hoped to cash in on her great Olympics success.

At least one of those sponsors quickly came out to support Biles in her quest for mental health.

“We stand by Simone and support her well-being both in and out of competition,” said Kyle Andrew, Chief Brand Officer of women’s sportswear maker Athleta. “Being the best also means knowing how to take care of yourself. We are inspired by her leadership today and are behind her every step of the way.”

You pays your monies and you takes your chances.

IsailedawayfromFR:
Thousands of athletes undergo the same scrutiny as Biles and do not quit.


Thank God Biles is not a soldier hired to protect us.

dfwgator:
Just ignore her.  That's all she wants, right?

240B:
Biles was in a no-win situation.
Either she spits on the flag like the Black Racists want her to (which would put her in trouble with most of America)
Or she respects the ceremony and the flag as normal (which would put her in trouble with the powerful Black Racist movement)

She had no 'out', except to withdraw and to do neither. That is why she left.
Damned if you do; Damned if you don't. She had no choice.
