It's the perfect "Richard G West" kinda tweet though...completely absurd, but somehow just believable enough. Like Marquez Callaway and Crouch doing wrestling moves in a grocery store lol.

Especially since Benjamin shows up to EVERY camp overweight.

Simone = Tiger for her sport. Right? Both are potentially GOAT's depending on personal views. They both compete individually and on teams representing us - AMERICA.

Tiger has been through many career endangering injuries. Battles back from them and wins. When it's Ryder Cup and President's Cup time he goes and plays no matter how he is feeling in his head or body. Gives it everything he's got and earns the respect of people who like him and don't care for him at all. So much respect that he was chosen as captain of the team.

Can that be said now for Simone? She just made a huge career limiting move that undercut America's team. Not much of a GOAT move in my book, but to each his or her own.

One had a rough upbringing and became an ultra celebrity as a little kid. The other was an adult before he became famous and had a good upbringing.

I'm extremely critical of Simon's choice and her behavior this week. I'm not critical at all of her. She made a panicked, snap decision - based at least in part on embarrassment from a horrific performance - and that was (in my opinion) the wrong choice. She's still a good person, just one who made a bad decision.

I don't have any issues with Simone making a choice not to compete, would have been better to make that choice PRIOR to getting to Tokyo but I'm sure had she been in the same space she is now before the team was picked she would have made the choice then.

Better question is why are the uniform regulations on Women's Beach Volleyball the way they are. The men are basically wearing board shorts and tank tops, but the women need to wear handkerchiefs?

I agree, except the only reason it seems she's in a bad space now was embarrassment over a bad performance. She should have pulled out prior to committing.

COMPLETELY agree that forcing women to wear bikinis against their will is the most heinous thing I've heard this Olympics. Just beyond asinine.
