Jason Whitlock: 'America Has Been Hacked' — 'Simone Biles and the Celebration of Quitting'
By Mike Miller | Jul 29, 2021 3:45 PM ET
Maybe it’s because we knew the 2021Tokyo Olympics were going to suck.
While few Olympics “experts” could have predicted the disastrous start for America’s Olympic team, some of us were pretty sure “woke” would weave its way into the games, somehow.
Maybe that’s because of hammer thrower Gwen Berry despicably turning her back during the playing of the national anthem during the medal presentation in the Seattle Olympic trials — in which she came in third.
Or maybe it’s because of the embarrassment of professional sports in America in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, not the least of which was the pathetic prostration of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NBA commissioner Adam Silver before the Black Lives Matter altar, and their condemnation — multiple times — of pretend “systemic racism.”
Point: I, for one, was not going to be surprised by anything that happened relative to Team USA in Tokyo.
From the men’s basketball team’s embarrassing loss to France and the “woke” women’s soccer team’s startling 3-0 loss to Sweden at the start of the Games, zero was going to surprise me.
Then Simone Biles did what she did. She quit. Over “health issues.”
