Simone Biles Breaks the Unspoken
Unspoken Rule of Silence
Traditionally, when someone dies, people remain quiet out of respect.
This pause allows time for grief, regardless of the person’s past actions.
Biles Breaks Tradition
After conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s death, Simone Biles challenged this custom in a personal blog post.
She described how his harsh criticism during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics deeply affected her.
Lasting Pain
At the time, Biles withdrew from events due to the “twisties” and prioritized her mental health.
Kirk labeled her actions “unpatriotic and weak.”
In her blog, Biles revealed that those words still hurt, showing the lasting impact of public attacks.
Mixed Reactions
Biles’s decision sparked debate.
Supporters call it a bold stand for mental health and personal truth,
while critics argue the timing—just after Kirk’s death—felt disrespectful.
Her words reignited discussion on how society treats vulnerability, especially in athletes.
