Brittney Griner Slams Simone Biles: “You Say I’m Not Patriotic, But You’re Selfish For Announcing Your Retirement To Focus On Family And Having Children”

In a recent outburst that has stunned the sports community, WNBA star Brittney Griner has publicly criticized Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, accusing her of hypocrisy and selfishness.

The feud between the two athletes began when Biles announced her retirement, stating that she needed to step away from competitive gymnastics to focus on her family and future children. Biles, who is widely celebrated for her incredible achievements in gymnastics, has long been a symbol of strength and excellence in sports. However, her announcement was met with mixed reactions, and it seems that Griner’s response has intensified the conversation.

Griner, known for her outspoken nature and commitment to social justice issues, took to social media to express her displeasure with Biles’ decision. In her post, Griner accused Biles of being “selfish” for choosing to retire at a time when she was still at the peak of her career. According to Griner, Biles’ decision reflects a lack of patriotism and commitment to the sport and to her country.




 

“You say I’m not patriotic for speaking out on social issues, but here you are, retiring and stepping away from your sport just because you want to focus on family and having children,” Griner wrote. “It’s ironic that you can make such a personal decision and expect everyone to be understanding, while criticizing me for using my platform to address important issues. Your retirement might seem like a personal choice, but it also impacts the sport and the nation’s morale.”
