I'm on the camp of "it's just comedy" but maybe lay off someone struggling with mental health, Michael.

I'm also a grown man and a sports fan. I'm not mad at her for dropping out. I don't care like that.

With that said, I was disappointed when she said that it was mental and not physical. It made me think of Ronda Rousey, her struggles with depression/suicide, and her last fight with Amanda Nunes. It was obvious that Ronda Rousey didn't want to be there but she still showed up. It was 45 second one-sided beat down but she tried. Would have been better for Ronda Rousey's health to not take the fight.

I'm bipolar and this week has been a struggle. I was disappointed when I found out that Biles "succumbed" versus fighting through it. Made me think of all those days I've wasted in bed, avoiding friends and family. But I'm just a guy who still has to go to work even when I'd rather call in dead. I don't have the world watching me so I can't imagine the pressure Biles felt.

I'm not hating on her. She knew that she was gonna get extreme backlash and hate. Takes a lot of courage to put yourself in that position and I wish her the best.
