don logan 8,062 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Our Rugby 7's game versus USA was tremendous this morning and Argentina v RSA that followed even better. It's only during the Olympics that you are drawn to stuff like Tae Kwon Du and Table Tennis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she isn't in the right frame of mind then why go? She was performing badly and they did lose. You could argue she would be putting her team at a disadvantage but if she turned up at the Olympics with serious issues then she put the US at a disadvantage full stop. Even if you turn up and it's going shite you still shouldn't quit. I understand it's dangerous but that's her job and sport. Paula Radcliffe did similar in 2004 with stomach issues and couldn't keep food down but ended her face with like 7 mile left or something. Should have just grinded out a finish.

Also, you're a fucking lunatic. She does a huge disservice to those with genuine mental health issues, by citing those reasons, when she was clearly simply having a bad day. You on the other hand are just too dumb or too woke to recognise the difference. You are also a fucking hypocrite, throwing words like 'lunatic' around, ironically in the same post ,where you are supposedly presenting a phoney, misguided, defence of those with mental health issues.
