Here's to Simone Biles: She Pulled the Greatest Con of Them All

    Here's to Simone Biles.  She pulled off the greatest con of them all and it was better than Colin Kaepernick.  You know the story and you have an idea about what I think about it.  She screwed up on the vault, came up with idea about 'mental health' and has spent the last few days popping up at events, showing how 'better she was getting.'

    Now, she just wrapped-up her balance beam routine- the only event she decided to compete in.  Guess what?  She won the bronze.  She's tied with Shannon Miller with the number of medals and, of  course, she's still being hailed as the 'greatest gymnast of all-time.'   But people, I want to tell you a secret-

    Shannon Miller never quit.  She never earned a medal for quitting.  
    
    How are you feeling if you're a gymnast on the USA team right now?  How about you Suni?  You just won the all-around but, unfortunately, Simone Biles is probably going to get all of the press and most of the endorsements.  What about you Jade?  You just had that great routine on the floor and got the gold?  I'm willing to bet Simone is going to cash in much more than you due to her skin color.  With all of that being said, let me remind all of you of something-

    Simone Biles screwed-up, she didn't want to admit that she screwed-up and she pulled out the mental health card.  She knew that that could milk that because of her sex, her gender and the fact that America is a hysterical society that looks for the easy story.  She has pulled off the greatest con next to Colin Kaepernick and my guess is that she's going to make just as much, if not more money.
