  1. One other thing Lee won gold and all our media could talk about is Biles. I think Biles is somebody our little black girls can look up to, but she's not competing. When she competes being her up. I think the media is making it worse for her.

  2. It seems this is more a Western country issue. If I remember correctly China or North Korea take kids away at a young age if they show any potential. I remember the Olympic weightlifter was told months after during a competition his grandparents had died and wasn't suppose to. The family was vilified in China by the state run media for causing him to lose focus. I also think one of the two don't let the parents or family go to competitions. Maybe our athletes should stay off social media. You see it with athletes from every sport now. It's either them, their wife/gf, or Mom getting offended when someone neg critique a performance and accept the positive praise.

  3. I was going through pains while I contracted HSV2 and then I came across how Dr IGUDIA on YouTube used his medication to cure the sick and I decided to contact him and he actually cured me from my HSV2. You all can also contact him for help on any kind of disease on his YouTube channel

  4. Thomas bach IOC chairman is staying in luxurious tokyo hotel right? 27500$ a day? Unbelievable. Perhaps the chairman is best friend of prime minister Suga. Very freaky situation. Players are sleeping on the paper bed but IOC chairman sleeps on the expensive free bed?

  5. Listen, this is a big stage. Super stars suppose to perform on big stages unless physically unable to do so. 🇺🇸 has lost its edge. We raising are not raising warriors anymore.

  6. Mental illness is REAL !! I suffer from mental illness and you never know what it's like until you experience it. I hate to see such negativity about Simon and her leaving because of mental illness… she would get more sympathy if she broke her leg…Its no different !! you just can't see it. So with that said, educate yourself or reach out to someone with a mental illness and learn from them. What if this was your family? Then what, would you still say those negative things ? Where is the humanity is being negative. My aunt is from Japan and her brother lives in Tokyo. Honor is held highly in Japan. We need to show Simone honor for her fabulous efforts. I'm so happy for the people supporting Simone at this difficult time🙏💜💕We love you Simone and we support you 💯% You are AMAZING !!!!!

  7. Being has a tendency to 'return' to clusters
    ='the nature of solidarity' -a desire for empathy -(Wave)-(yin)
    and also,
    Being has a tendency to 'exist' as individuals
    ='the nature of self-expension' -a desire for breed-(Particle)-(Yang)

    Likewise, humans have two elements.
    We must realize that we all have both left and right elements
    =Solidarity and Self reliance
    No one has only one element.

    so 'Sum' derived from 'two poles' , (thesis, antithesis, synthesis)
    To develop intellect and ethics by harmonizing the two,
    It is good to realize it and balance it properly

    But A few people polarized the crowd(political partisanship)
    without balancing themselves.
    And They stole only the sum, only the synthesis from the triangle composition.

    Now We all have to get out of this deceptive situation.
    This is not the time for us to hate each other.
    We have to track down those who have been manipulating us.
