Mental Health Sports Quitters (Olympics special)

First off, mental health is a serious thing and can affect all of us at some point.

However, I’m noticing a recent trend for sports people deciding to quit when the going gets tough.

Imagine being an Olympic selector? You choose the athletes carefully. There will be calls made to those that didn’t quite make it. There will be tears. Perhaps some real mental health issues as athletes miss out on their dreams, despite a life of sacrifice?

Those are not calls I would want to make.

Imagine then, in a team competition at the Olympics, one of your athletes does not do well (not terribly, just not so well) in their first event (with others to follow in a much needed points hunt).

And then quits. It’s too much. Mental elf innit? She’s got to think about herself, not everyone else (more or less what was said here).

Now, if she was genuinely losing it to the point she was totally unable to perform, then fair enough.

I’m just getting the vibe that people nowadays are becoming so soft that a bit of pressure and they walk away.

Fucking quitting? In the Olympics early on in a team event? Fuck off!

And they get praise for doing this shit, by the way. Maybe why they do it?

Imagine if Sir Bobby Moore, back in ’66 said during the final, “I’m too young to be taking this pressure Boss, please substitute me now.”

Bloody heck! Just wouldn’t happen, would it? And he wouldn’t have been deemed brave either, even if we’d won in the end!

Being a great sportsperson is not just about ability. Or even what you’ve won in the past. It’s about showing bottle when the chips are down. Remember Ben Stokes knowing one tiny mistake and the Ashes series was lost? The cunt had to survive alone with the last choice batsman (a bowler) for hours and score heavily. Against the best bowling attack in the world. That was fucking bottle. We had no fucking hope it seemed, but belief and strong will pulled off a sporting miracle.

Can’t be doing with sporting quitters, sorry.

Playing the mental health card when things aren’t going your way. Particularly, as recently seen in sport.

I know this is a sensitive issue for some, so let me explain why it boils my piss. Two years ago I popped round to see a cousin of mine, only to find him hanging from the loft hatch. He’d been dead for a day or two. He left a lengthy note explaining his reasons. Reasons far more important than not playing tennis very well or not being in the medals at the Olympics.

People like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka play the mental health card and get all the plaudits for being brave and coming out, but these things never occur when they are winning.

Maybe I’m just a cynical old bastard, but it just seems to be a cover all phrase to mask a bad day at the office. We all do jobs that get us down and they can lead to serious issues. If that’s the case, most people re assess and get out, try something different.

It just seems to me that if they can’t get glory for winning, they try to get glory for being “brave”. Crying wolf is not going to help the poor fuckers with real problems in the long term.
Brave Mental Health Olympians

And yet more from – mystic maven

Simone Biles of the US Olympic team, who has dropped out because the whole experience has become too stressful.

Biles said on Tuesday: “It’s been really stressful these Olympic Games, not having an audience. It’s been a long week, a long Olympic process, a long year. We are just a little bit too stressed out. We should be out here having fun.

“I feel like I’m also not having as much fun and this Olympic Games I wanted it to be for myself and it felt like I was still doing it for other people. It hurts my heart that doing what I love has been taken away from me to please other people.”

I’m still trying to decipher what the fuck she’s talking about
Anyway, what a mard-arse, previous generations would have had a backbone and got on with it. She’ll no doubt become some kind of iconic heroine for being a failure.

And another, this time from Cock Blanket

Simone Biles…….

I can’t escape the feeling that this BLACK, FEMALE athlete is pulling the mental health card because she failed at the recent Olympics and can’t take failure. Instead she insists that her performance is due to her mental health. Just another attention seeking wanker jumping on the mental health bandwagon.

Obviously the BBC has jumped on this with both feet. News stories all over about this revelling how proud EVERONE is about her. I am not fucking proud so leave me out of it. If it turns out she is a lesbian too then the BBC will no doubt commission a statue in her honour.

Fuck off. You had a bad day and you were shite. Stop blaming it on mental health as that is the easy get out choice at the moment.

Fuck you and fuck the Olympics.

  1. Funny how it’s the ‘diverse’ sporting community that cry off…. Clear evidence that they are little more than token specimens, and don’t deserve to be there in the first place.

  2. Biles has started to set others off. I just caught an interview with a gymnast (I think British but not 100%, I just caught the end). She said something like “I didn’t quite feel myself. I spoke to my coach and had a good cry. (BBC male interviewer interjects with an ultra sympathetic ‘Ohhh nnno tsk’), but I decided to push through and carry on competing.”

    Fair play the lass carried on (and maybe learned something about herself) but the fact is that she heard Biles no doubt (a hero for many s gymnast I’m sure) getting all that praise for quiting and thought ‘I’ll have some of that!”

    Pandora’s box has been opened you thick cunts!

  3. As a chlld growing up in London in the 1960s I had the following bits of sound philosophy drilled into me. 1) “Try to do a good deed every day” and 2) “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me”.

    The equivalent for millennials appears to be 1) “Me me me me me” and 2) “Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo”.

    To misquote Orwell: ‘They produce a generation of entitled whiney little wankers and call it progress’.

  4. Millions in the bank is indeed a route to mental illness. Grow a pair of adult tits and get on with life…

  5. Cricketer Ben Stokes has just announced that he’s taking a break from the sport due to mental health issues.
    I’d have mental health issues too, if I had to watch that crap.

    • Fuck, somebody was praising Stokes here earlier for his Ashes performance.

      • That was me. They’re all at it now.

        Everyone is going mental. Maybe the new pandemic is here?

        Mental-21

        Wubble, fish, bananas etc.

  6. What a weakling, to me suffering mental illness means walking around your local shopping centre with your pants around your ankles, having a Wank whilst shouting Dogshit. Check out her attitude in the picture, this speaks volumes, you did shit, face up it and stop looking for an easy excuse.!

  7. “When the going gets tough
    The tough get going”
    Well I’m gonna get myself cross the river
    That’s a price I’m willing to pay
    I’m gonna make you stand and deliver
    and give me love the old fashion way WOAH

    She should be ashamed of herself for looking for faux sympathy
    Tough,tough, tough, Huh,huh, huh

  8. ‘Fuck the olympics’?
    Thats a phrase I first heard uttered by my grandad during Seoul ’88, the first i can remember watching.

    He wasn’t wrong.

  9. Wears a leotard with GOAT (greatest of all time) emblazoned in rhinestone’s.
    Then comes last in the first team event and quits.
    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Leotard? Re-tard, more like.

    GOAT?
    Nah, CUNT🤔

  10. Ben Stokes is now taking an ‘Indefinite’ break from cricket to prioritise his mental health. Fuck off.

  11. If she doesn’t like being an international athlete, then she should fuck off and get a job pushing trolleys round Asda car park. But either way, fuck off complaining to the world you snowflake cunt.

  12. They are dropping like flies and blaming mental health. WTF is going on? Something untoward is happening here. What I don’t know but something is not quite right.

    • Only to be expected – we’ve bred a nation of Harry Halfwits and crybaby Owen Joneses.
