You're working on a project with a longtime associate and they get up and walk out in the middle of it. Haven't they done enough for you? Hell, the guy that cut you off in traffic, why are you judging him without knowing what he's going through? She's not a pariah but I think some criticism is fair. The guy calling her a national embarrassment needs to reevaluate his life priorities, but quitting on your team is never a good look. As a sports fan I can say I think it's strange and don't like the message it sends.

I'm as guilty as anyone else of this. But we all sit in our comfy chairs, clutching the remote and think we can do better. "I wouldn't have swung at that ball in the dirt. I wouldn't have thrown that Pick Six. I would have drained that three pointer.". And we judge the pressures in our lives against athletes. Not a damned one of us have the weight of the expectations of an entire nation on us. I don' have hundreds of microphones pointed at me and I don't have ESPN spending hours analyzing how I'm going to so my job. Biles had a lot more going on than one bad routine. I'm sure she thought the US team was better off without her. If she had competed and turned in performances that I would have done, would that have cost the US a silver medal?

Not directing this at you, Rey. Just at the ones who are crucifying her as a "quitter"

I think only Frogs thinks he can do better.
