Jul. 28—Olympic decision

I don't understand. Truly.

As someone with all sorts of mental health issues in my family, I am sensitive to those issues.

But, and maybe I am a caveman or some non-politically-correct crusty crab, I don't understand why it feels like we're having a parade for Simone Biles for her "bravery" in facing her mental health issues.

Maybe I am unaware because I am not the world's biggest gymnastics fan, but this is the first I have heard of her suffering from mental health issues.

Is she a longtime sufferer of these awful conditions?
