teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Simone Biles declared a traitor to the state after refusing to break her neck for the viewing pleasure of weaklings at home.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Apparently, a woman with cerebral palsy was abandoned by her parents at this hotel. It might be on the local news later.

Funny how the people calling her ‘weak’ are the same ones who don’t have the strength of character to wear a mask in Starbucks for five fucking minutes. Boru

Or having several gymnastic moves named after them. I don't think I'd want her to get me in a headlock, for instance.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Losing track of your position in the air because you're flipping and spinning is not the same as saying, mom, I don't feel like going to school today. The media needs to be more specific about "mental health."

I was never coordinated at sports. I most certainly would have ended up in the E.R. or dead, if I had attempted what she has. I can't fucking understand why anyone would vilify her for taking a pause or accepting her limits. Anyone pulling that "buck it up" crap with her are fucking assholes. 
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
