I’m not sure Biles is be vilified except by some nut jobs. Really? The Texas AG called her a “national embarrassment.” Such luminaries as Clay Travis and Piers Morgan have mocked her viciously. Essentially called her a liar. Some have called her selfish and arrogant. I mean, look at this nonsense. The left’s push to make her a hero has been bad, too. That I am not denying. But Simone did the most human of human things at the worst possible time, and these clowns are killing her to prove some stupid cultural point. Truth is, every person has a breaking point, elite athletes, you, me, everyone. This never had to be a new front in the culture war, but some people can’t help themselves. For the record, I felt genuinely bad for Kyle Brotzman, too, as I danced on his team’s grave in the middle of Mackay Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It way more splits on gender than political lines. By the way their could be some generational differences here as we Boomers and Xers have long maintained you millennials are soft. I’m not a milliennial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when you have to work yourself to death to have half the life style your parents did with one working parent.... No generation in US history has ever seen the quality of life decrease from that of their parents...until now. Thanks boomers, now go drink bleach and die, the world will be better off.

Jokes aside, and I do like poking fun at millennials, I’m with you. Came of age around the housing boom and bust. Cost of Housing, health care, and college is crazy. Tough.

I am the board wig powderer after all. But one thing millenials are not is lazy and entitled. Statistically the hardest working generation in a century. Millenials work circles around boomers and gen z at the same age. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We toasted to Brotzman's health. At our tailgate on the golf course before the Rose Bowl. In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most are ignoring those morons but their is an increasing gender split between the fascist right and the rest of us so we could both be correct.

soupslam1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Watching the all around it seems the athletes get ten feet in the air. It often makes me wonder why they don’t use the all around technique to high jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no college debt partly due to me and partially due to their athletic skills and I’m giving them 50K each to help defray costs. Wish I could do more.
