Morning_Joe Remember, if antivaxers cry about HIPAA violations for asking their status...they better not ask Simone Biles about HER medical condition

😂

You gotta compete as a team! Not as an individual.. I blame Her! And the American people! For the build up! For a great fall individually first! As a team second. Mica'iah🌍will RULE the united states of America. It's a Guarantee.

Damn that’s unfortunate

Tell Simone that I will always love her

She bottled it you mean.

Mental injury is the same as a physical one. Stop the stigma

What a choke job. REAL elite athletes are mentally tough. Guess she forgot that important part of being an Olympian

I hope she's ok

Oh no!! 😳

Dang, well at least Jade Carey will get the spot she deserves

does this mean she’s not competing in the rest of the olympics
