How Parents Should Talk to Their Kids About Simone Biles

 

Given the extreme risks of gymnastics - not competing a few mid-air flips when you feel out of sync is probably a good call. When Charlie Kirk does a freaking cartwheel on the balance beam, maybe then I'll listen to him - but until then, pipe down. It really is amazing how many white male fans feel like black athletes are their slaves whose sole purpose is to amuse and entertain them. And when they do anything else - the athletes are considered "out of line" by the casual white male fan. Not a great look.

 

This one seems to be in hand.

 

New job. New house. We're down to the last dozen or so of 165 boxes to unpack. But this house is like a beautiful woman who needs a few organ transplants. Today was kitchen faucet and irrigation system. Last week it was HVAC and water heater. Tomorrow is pressure cleaning. Between all that and other new-state stuff (driver licences, homestead exemptions, etc.), I'm hopelessly behind on this board.

 

The very definition of an American fan, dude couldn’t do a cartwheel and he’s criticizing Biles? And someone is going to give him some credence why??

 

Sounds like something from a Monty Python sketch. Except in the sketch his first name would be something like Ian.
