Simone Biles - American Icon

No difference. I’m just asking

It’s subject of this thread. Why are you so afraid to answer a simple question.
In my subjective opinion, no.

If someone else thinks she is, I don’t have a problem with that. Why do you?
 
Cool so you agree with me.


I don’t. Never said I did. OP stated his opinion and I replied. That’s how these message boards work.
You’ve been arguing about a subjective opinion for days. It’s stupid. It’s like arguing that blue isn’t the best color.

Yeah Im the one arguing to argue. :rolleyes:
 

ā€œBiles and her teammates are fabulous gymnasts, what can I say?ā€ Villa said. ā€œSimone is from another planet. Seeing her vault and all her acrobatics from so close up is a unique privilege.ā€
 
I don’t think Biles is anywhere close to being the US’s greatest sports hero. I doubt she’s even top 20
Just off the top of my head

Jordan, Lebron, Michael Phelps, Tiger, Serena Williams,

Besides who I mentioned who do you put above her?

I've already listed a ton of people but apparently saying this is hating on Biles somehow so.....

I'll go back and look.

She might be one of America's greatest OLYMPIC athletes and she'll be more famous than Mary Lou Retton as she should be. She will make millions off this.

Celebrities have to know not everyone is going to love them So they should just be happy people are talking about her.

I personally put Olympians in a different category than pro athletes.

There is just something about those that do it for love of country and not just millions upon millions of dollars.

She passes Mary Lou, Bruce Jenner. Bruce won once? She has so many records. She passes that fag. I like how you put Spitz after Jenner. LOL.

She's on this list dude. Top 20

The list wasn't in order, and I could probably list more. Either way she's not #1 nor anywhere near it. None of the people on here arguing with me actually believe she's in that spot either.

The list isn't greatest athlete either. It's greatest "sports hero". More than just how good you are at your particular sport goes into that IMO. Biles just hasn't had a "moment" that was really all that memorable to the general public. People who aren't into gymnastics while they might know of her (recognize the name) they probably dont know much of her accomplishments or even seen her perform. I also don't think that the Olympics holds nearly as much importance in the sporting world as it once did. That's why I put Jenner and Retton on there. They were in at their time more "important" to the culture, sports in general etc. than Biles is now. Biles is a great gymnast. Definitely the best US gymnast and maybe the best gymnast ever. She just doesn't transcend the sport in any way. That could be true for any number of reasons but it's, IMO, true.

Except for all the Olympians who are getting paid and making millions of dollars to play their sport?

Simeon Biles is worth 20 million dollars... More power to her for monetizing her tremendous talent but let's not act like these athletes are living on Ramen noodles and living 3 people in a studio apartment.
 
You can't get NPCs like XponentialChaos to commit to anything until they've received their talking points from the cult leaders.

He wouldn't admit that the sky is blue until the DNC gave him the OK.

See post #121.

If you had any integrity, you’d apologize for making this mistake. But you don’t, so you won’t.
