NFL Reporter Rebecca Grant Gets Crushed For Her Take On Simone Biles ‘Quitting’

Rebecca Grant is feeling the sting of weighing in on Simone Biles. Today the Buffalo Bills reporter took to Twitter to compare what Kerri Strug did back in 1996 to Simone Biles’ mental health issue that forced her to sit out during the competition.

“How did you feel about our most well known Olympic athlete quitting in the middle of the competition?

It’s too bad kids today didn’t grow up watching that Americans don’t quit! Kerri Strug is an amazing American athlete.”

First, hardly anyone is watching this olympics. Second, amateur athletes work their entire life to compete in the olympics. This is the only competition that matters, unless you're already a pro making millions. She is already making millions so it's not so important for her.

Twitter let her have it:

You praising Strug who was actually a victim in this isn't quite the reach you were hoping for. It is too bad Strug didn't have her own voice bit an advocate FOR her.

Thank goodness Biles was brave enough to stand up for herself. https://t.co/bAZbNkKduH

@rebeccagrants your take is so disgusting. So we should push athletes into early retirement for our sake of winning gold. Nooo athletes should do what's best for them regardless of how anyone feels about them. Stfu respectfully https://t.co/kOvrRxIHef

Kerri’s lucky she didn’t do permanent damage by competing on an injury.

This is a HORRIBLE take. https://t.co/UJ4FKfRDuF

Good GOD what a bad take. It's well known by now that Kerri told her coach that she didnt want to do it and her coach told her she had to. USA Gymnastics was an abusive organization for YEARS. If you wanted an example to use, sis this was NOT it. https://t.co/t3ARiK8ovF

This wench out here cheering in the coach that allowed these young women to be sexually, physically, & mentally abused for decades. https://t.co/pycspYWJ7s

Another shitty AF take on Twitter today.

Sure, after one of the men who abused these women for decades, talked her into not quitting, she was never able to compete again.

Mental health and well being > y’all entertainment. https://t.co/jFrdprFIeU

Meanwhile Kerri Strug weighed in:

Sending love to you @Simone_Biles 🐐❤️-Team UNITED States of America 🇺🇸

Everyone loves weighing in on someone else’s mental health decisions.

Clearly a hot button topic, but no one knows what Biles is going through. And yea, times are a lot different than they were when Kerri Strug was competing.
