Under the best of circumstances, competing in an Olympic medal event is a red hot cauldron of intensity.
Like any massive star, he’s got a gravitational pull that affects all who come into his orbit.
Lee’s tumble was especially painful to watch.
“I think I bruised my Hoo Hoo,” she exclaimed.
And then people start cheering, and then the shushing gets louder.
So really, they should be shushed because they’re louder.
‘I don’t know.
It was really weird and awkward.
And we’ve asked several times if we can have some music or some background noise.
So I am not really sure what happened there, but yeah, not our favorite.
None of us liked it.’
I mean, the crowd shushing us for cheering.
‘We did not like that, just because it’s just so silent in there.
I love hearing my teammates cheer for me.’
Well there you have it.
Takethat, paying customers!
This is the Bercy Arena, not the 18th tee at Augusta.
These women are warriors.
They thrive on noise and chaos.
How can you expect them to concentrate with all that polite silence and rapt attention?
If these ladies wanted to play before a silent crowd, they would’ve gotten into poetry readings.
Or stood on stage next to Ben Affleck when he was doing the Brady Roast.
Biles and Lee are out there trying to stick the landing on a handstand forward roll.
You idiots acted like you were trying to keep the aliens fromA Quiet Placeaway.
So it was all your fault.
So best of luck going forward, Team USA.
Blaming the fans for your mistakes is the best approach every time it’s tried.
