Mental issues.

She said she didn't like how she was performing and the stress was too much, there was too much pressure

I actually like Biles, think she is awesome, especially for dropping Nike. I don't blame her for withdrawing, but doing it to your team right there is pretty brutal.

Could you imagine Patrick Mahomes doing that?

Or Lebron James (well I guess you could).

I really just can't stand the media lovefest and defense. She basically quit on her team when they needed her the most.

Pressure makes diamonds and she handled it in the past. But today was too much and if she did it before her personal events and they could put someone else in there, I'd be fine with that, but letting down your team today shouldn't be celebrated.
