>> You are going to lift up your teammates that you aren't going to quit. I don't know.
>> Here's Clay Travis, a man who supports Donald Trump and dismisses Simone Biles.
>> I coach a little league sports. >> Is this dude for real? The schmuck that took
over for Rush Limbaugh has reached the pinnacle of coaching, you also take what he says is fact.
>> The Simone Biles story to me is about making quitting not only acceptable, but heroic.
>> This is reiling media 101 fake machismo lockdown playing
real issues from their fellow man. >> And she brought this pressure
on to herself and then she quit on her team. And I don't like the idea
that we are holding Simone Biles to a different standard than we would in 30 years ago.
>> This is nonsensical. First off, Simone Biles does not pass to another teammate
when she's on the floor. She does not sub out when vaulting, nor does she call timeout when
on uneven bars and tap another athlete to run a play. She is out there alone on an island.
She, unlike Scottie, is not primarily on her feet and just jumping, she's doing things
no gymnast has ever done literally. Putting the physicality up to a whole another level.
Folks like Backer of white supremacy Clay Travis are telling her to shut up an athlete when,
if she is not in the correct mental space, why would she perform and risk injury?
But yes, let's hear from
fringe little League coach, Clay Travis >> That is not brave, that is not courageous.
That is, to me, the exact opposite of those adjectives. But I think this also builds upon
the larger failures of social media. >> I find this an odd angle.
Travis who built this following on Twitter has written more than 115
thousands tweets. He should take his own advice. My other times have changed for Clay who pedals
and conspiracy theories left and right and hitched his wagon to Trumpism for profit.
Are we sure about this? In late May, Naomi Osaka announced she wouldn't be doing any
press during the French Open for mental health reasons, this ultimately led to her withdrawing.
Clay Travis went on attack on Osaka telling her again,
to shut up and athlete. When Sarah Fuller became the first woman to play in a power
five college game, Travis, of course just had to write a hit piece on Fuller, demeaning her
for again, the machismo male to have a safe space and misogyny on his ass website out kick.
As LaDarius said, over the last few months, Clay Travis has gone after Sarah Fuller,
Naomi Osaka, and now Simone Biles, interpret that in any way that you want.
>> The people who hate Donald Trump, think they are gonna tear him down,
and they are gonna be able to finally get him ridiculed, and run him out, and getting fired.
Instead, they're actually making Trump's base stronger, and they're
probably going to lead to the Democrats nominating somebody who's far left-wing.
>> Could this dude be more wrong all the time? Defector noted he helped an OSU
blogger turn a profit, when the Blogger bet against Travis's picks every week.
You see the quote, he basically called Covid a hoax following his leader's orders, who by the
way, according to Travis is not racist. Adding, I fundamentally reject the idea that America is
a racist country. In fact, I think America is the least racist country in the history of the world.
This guy is a idiot. No surprise he spews conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, he
can't handle his side of losing the election. He subs the truth for lies because of his intentional
attachment to maggaism. This is a dude who rip canceled culture saying, it never ends,
and even wrote in a harmful and fake newsy piece defending Donald Trump that,
we need to end canceled culture, and I abhor canceled culture.
Yet he thinks Team USA should cancel Simone Biles, his tenure going
forward. That's what this dude is, a giant phony hypocrite. He co-signed the
transphobic Ben Shapiro. Shapiro has called transgenderism a mental health issue. I am
curious what makes the right-wing gatekeepers of what is and is not mental health worthy.
His knotted, little brain should be studied so humanity can learn from his mistakes.
It should be statistically impossible to whiff as many times as Travis has,
and yet he keeps it up. Where does Clay Travis go from here?
He cannot gamble, write, edit, form persuasive arguments, or put together in original joke.
Most likely he'll continue to plow ahead with no shame, ignore or block anyone who points out
his countless failures, and keep picking duds. That's the only thing he's ever been good at.
