She's the only one who knows if she is in the headspace to compete. This is a woman who blew the whistle on abuse, has lead us to multiple championships, and most of the people criticizing her can't even reach the floor to pick up the cheeto they just dropped walking back from the kitchen.

All of her responsibilities as a representative of the United States, and her responsibilities to BLM, just overwhelmed her.

Because she said she could not trust her mind and body. This is a very dangerous sport and if you are not feeling it, it is definitely best to drop out. I believe it very important to know yourself and care for your safety and make good self care decisions. I fully support her.

Weakness it the American way. We expect nothing more than weakness. Just like in our schools, government, and our Democratic Party. WEAKNESS FTW!

She messed up her routine and all of a sudden had a " mental" problem? Really? More like ego. No gold no play is more like it, or so it looks like. By getting the Twisties all of a sudden the focus was again all about her and not on the one who actually won the gold. Now here she is, back

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.
