I see the usual lefty loons are calling Simone Biles "stunning and brave" for pulling out of the Olympics. I'd never tell someone that they should do something they don't want to do, and there are more important things than sporting achievement, but giving up at the first sign of adversity is literally the opposite of "stunning and brave". If a multi-millionaire world class athlete can't cope with the anxiety of potential failure then what hope does the rest of generation snowflake have? As Kipling said, "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same".

Stokes just does not seem to be the type to be affected by such issues.He has lost his father this year and has massive expectation on his shoulders but it seems so out of character.
Harsh, difficult, question,particularly in these PC times, but-
Are we becoming more accepting of such happenings or are individuals copping out more?
Next stop Brewster has "issues".
