Why are people sending hate her way ? The hate should be sent to the judges, they didn’t do their job correctly.

Misjudgement caused Romania to lose the bronze to begin with an wrongful out of bounds call. Chiles should not have gotten it in the first place.

So unfair.

Why is it Jordan’s job to catch the judge’s mistakes?

[Panda-kcqk]

why are there so many spelling errors on titles now? are there no proof readers anymore? seems so unprofessional

[itmiconsult]

Don't return it woman, it's not your fault.

Good for Romania. I’m sure she deserves the bronze. I heard it was taken from her. The American gymnastics are fantastic but arrogant and full of themselves.

[DORAEMON-bwjk]

Simone Biles shouldn't have mentioned about creating the first all black gymnastics podium and put race into the discussion in the first place. It rubbed some people the wrong way and this is the tragic result. It's similar to the BLM movement which enraged some folks.

Humans are biologically the same race. We’ve got to stop using terms like “racism” and “racist” because race based terminology creates the very divisions that that the individuals using the terms seek to destroy. People will always find reasons to hate, but we shouldn’t add fuel to the fires. So technically, if someone hates others based solely upon their “race”, they don’t hate anyone. It’s a literal impossibility to hate a “race” of peoples without simultaneously hating one’s own “race”.

This is such a disservice to both gymnasts. The judges are the ones who made the mistake - give both gymnasts the bronze medal!

News organizations are no longer checking for grammatical and/or spelling errors. All you had to do was spell check the title of the video. It’s ‘devastating, ’ not ‘devestating.’ Do better

[NeverSaySandwich]

What about how devastating it was for the Romanian gymnast to have her bronze stripped away for unjust penalties? She earned it

[KarenChatterton-uqrq]

It was a bad decision hopefully it will get changed. You deserve it.

[AndrewDrake-jowv]

They should have never stripped her of the bronze medal she won it fair and square

[ninacarranza]

I dislike when they bring up race its so embarassing and they get sensitive about it

[LL-j]

We know/saw you earned your and no one can take those moments in our hearts away from US/

Stealing from Romania gets increasingly harder. The rule is like this: you steal from Romania, we send Dracula after you.

[listenquitely]

Stop making it a race thing. It isn't.

[osweetboy]

She's becoming annoying now, you lost deal with it😒..how can you come 5th and think you deserve to be 3rd pushing the original person who came 3rd at the bottom who was more deserving of the award?? Bye America.

[shellyortiz]

Is so freaking unfair humiliated i love usa team but the Romania rutine had more difficulty techniques after seeing both floor routines.those judges the whole Olympic staff should I give both of them a bronze medal

[MarkH]

The rules are the rules race has nothing to do with it. And she said she wasn’t doing social media but then went and read it? She’s a great athlete be proud, she’s an elite!
