Following Simone Biles’ shocking withdrawal from the team gymnastics competition at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday, many have applauded her for focusing on her mental health. But conservative talk radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton had little compassion for the star athlete, indicating on their Tuesday show that Biles’ decision was selfish.
“We all have emotional and psychological struggles,” Sexton said. “That’s just a constant of being a human being. But what about your teammates?”
Travis wondered how fans would react if Tom Brady or LeBron James did something similar by pulling out of a major game because they couldn’t handle the stress.
