financial reasons.

It rings hollow on the one hand to hype yourself as the greatest ever, but then claim you can’t compete due the pressure you mostly created. It’s okay to be Ali when you can back the talk with the walk.

- How did she compete so well before? I think her worst sin was letting her teammates down. Yet, as - THEISMANCARR - 8:45am 7/28/21
  - Sin? The worst sin is Nassar's. I reserve any judgement on her. - Aragoto - 9:09am 7/28/21
    - Bullshit - we need more athletes and less activists. Focus on your sport instead of your “platform” [NT] - jamie - 10:42am 7/28/21
      - Check out this documentary. [NT] [LINK] - conorlarkin - 11:13am 7/28/21
      - Right. She came to the Olympics as a mental health activist. We should have seen this coming. [NT] - Aragoto - 11:05am 7/28/21
      - Agreed - get over your sexual assault at the hand (literally) of a team doctor. - LanceHarbor - 10:53am 7/28/21
        I guess she should have dropped out a long time ago if this is the reason. - notredame678 - 1:52pm 7/28/21
        
        Lance, by God, I finally agree with you on something. - Aragoto - 11:02am 7/28/21
        Did this suddenly happen once in Japan? - WoodstockIrish - 1:34pm 7/28/21
        Who really knows? I doubt she knew this was going to happen. [NT] - Aragoto - 1:54pm 7/28/21

        We have no rights to expect anything from her. But she also has no right to expect public sympathy - Frank L - 10:57am 7/28/21
        Is she expecting sympathy? Where did she say that? - LanceHarbor - 11:17am 7/28/21
        A persnickety bitch? Coming from the queen of them? - Frank L - 11:35am 7/28/21
        So you knew little about her but are ok making sweeping generalizations based on 24 hours. - LanceHarbor - 12:04pm 7/28/21
        I do know little about her. One item I do know is that she has been an effective self promoter. - Frank L - 12:29pm 7/28/21
        So it’s fine she made money but you’re going to point it out multiple times. - LanceHarbor - 1:05pm 7/28/21
        I don’t hate anyone Lance. I point out where people have motives that are self interested. - Frank L - 4:21pm 7/28/21
  - If she didn’t wear goats on her uniform and make millions from her endorsements she might get some - Frank L - 8:49am 7/28/21

        That's the thing. She amped it up for the bucks...and now she's a cheerleader occupying the space - TakethetrainKnute - 10:55am 7/28/21
        Lard ass couch potatoes know pressure. They have also experienced ritual sexual abuse. - Aragoto - 11:13am 7/28/21
        "Ritual"? [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 11:39am 7/28/21
        Repetitive or habitual. Clear in context. [NT] - Aragoto - 11:50am 7/28/21
        Not sure that you have that exactly "rite"...but carry on. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 12:11pm 7/28/21
        I'm sure it is perfectly acceptable as the exams were routine. [LINK] - Aragoto - 12:27pm 7/28/21
        
        One would think that when you wear goats on yer uni, you better be able to take the pressure - Frank L - 11:02am 7/28/21
