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.

And then there’s this from Field Marshal Cuntgomery
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.
She fucked up, got the pet lip on and crumbled. Useless cunt. The only cunts worse than her are the apologists for her behaviour. Too used to being the ‘best’ can’t take a bit of failure. Fuck me we’d all be speaking German if the poor fuckers in the trenches in WW1 thought like this. No moral fibre, typical of modern thinking. We’re fucked as a species if this is what counts for ‘strong’ nowadays.
24
She is a gymnast.
As was Shun Fujimoto, who despite breaking his leg in his floor routine in the 1976 Olympics, hid his agonising injury from his team mates and went on to complete 2 further disciplines and help Japan secure gold.
Simone Biles would have heard of him.

21
I bet she’s rubbish at taking penalties too.
29
Take a penalty and score?
You’re a nobody.
Take a penalty and miss?
You’re a god.
Just like this girl. She choked and is a loser.
24
I wonder if she’s the daughter of Biles from the Lindsey Anderson film If… he was a moaning soppy cunt too.
8
If… , a splendid film although I consider it to be a documentary on the public school I attended.
5
A fellow OA Guzziguy?
2
Unrelated but I just remembered Christine Noonans whopper tits in that film.
4
They were fucking marvelous. Her character was based on the nympho who ran the Post Office in Letchmore Heath. I am not sure if she was an actual nympho but aged 13 back in 1967 we used to think so.
4
Mental health issues seems to be very wide spread amongst American wimminz of color, British wimmenz of colour and every arsehole who turns out not to be quite so good as they and their PR people tell them they are.
21
Well what does one expect from these chippy brainwashed fuckwits. Let us hope she never has a real bad mental elf visitation like waking up in a locked up pub in the dark and being surrounded by cushions with fucking great teeth intent on taking lumps out of you. Think that would put ones game out what.
10
She would have had something to cry about if she’d broken her neck in that fancy gym.
Oh silly me that’s impossible,she’s a spineless woke cunt.
What a shower of shit.
14
Mohamed Ali said it all “Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
I’d like to see what the sponsors make of all this mental elf shite.
11
The sponsors will do the ‘woke’ thing. Kissy kissy, there there, have a biscuit and and a nice cup of tea.
11
I would imagine that once a gymnast gets to physical perfection in a routine, masters all the moves then if anything effects concentration there will be mistakes.
If this girl had said that her ‘A game’ as the yanks like to say wasn’t quite there then fair enough but these fuckers can’t just have an off day like everyone else on the planet, it has to be a mental health issue.
The Osaka woman was a twat, can’t do a press conference, ffs get a fucking grip.
The youth off today will get worse, think there is something wrong with them if the Don’t have mental health issues.
Just watching the news, BMX in the Olympics 😂😂😂, well if Skateboarding is in there why not 🤮
6
Don’t knock it, we have a Gold and a Silver from the BMX team.
4
My impression of BMX is kids or chavs, didn’t know it was a sport.
5
Yes, they’re both over the moon apparently. Reckon neither has an IQ into triple figures.
Expect him to get a knighthood in the next round of honours. Scruffy cunt with silly hair and interviewed with hand in pocket.
A sport for fucking chavs, probably why we did so well. Adults on kids bikes- how is that a sport? Bit like skate boarding.
Reckon we would fare even better if they introduced knife throwing, or electric scooter racing.
Mr Stroker says the British only excel at sports where sitting down is a requirement, such as cycling, rowing, equestrian etc.
3
I love the suggestion on here the other day of having cat feeding as an Olympic Sport. That would be more interesting to watch than skateboarding as cats can be really fussy.
4
Yes, and don’t I know it, my little ‘Angel’ is worse than kids when it comes to getting him to eat his dinner 😂
3
Sees Russia are better, does not want to tarnish golden legacy, quits.
Replacement gymnast wins gold for USA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
Whiny McQuittington realises scale of fuck up and immediately pulls the mental elf card in PR driven damage limitation exercise.
Nobody questions why Russia, the banned drug cheats, are allowed to compete.
And history is not littered with people who gave up because it wasn’t as much fun as they demanded.
8
I remember there was a time when Americans would be loud and enthusiastic and positive, “You can do it! Good job! Way to go!” etc. It seems
as though it has changed in recent times and gone the opposite way.
7
Perhaps Joe Biden should lend them his lucky truss 🙂
2
Would be better sending the Dominion voting machines to the Olympic organisation and they could have them retro fitted to score / measure athletes.
Just imagine the cunts who cross the finishing line second, third etc receiving faster times than the cunt who crossed it in front of them.
4
Dangerous stress to me is sitting in a trench at 18 years old waiting to go over the top, sitting in a Spitfire outnumbered but going up in the air day after day after day, walking a path in Helmand not knowing if your going to step on an IED. I’m not having a go at anyone with stress, anxiety and depression issues as I have suffered with it myself in the past. I just feel that sometimes it’s used as a crux, I’ve tried to train myself to step back when stressed etc, put some reality and common sense into the situation and I feel a whole lot better. I get the impression with Simone Biles that she’s getting older and younger athletes are taking over her dominance. Nothing to be ashamed of but she’s using the mental health issue an excuse in my opinion, I maybe wrong, I don’t wish bad mental health on anybody.
14
The amount of Malingeres where I work that pull the mental health stunt is unbelievable.. I supervise this Lezzer that looks like James Corden.
Anyway she wants a complete rota change because her shift pattern is affecting her social life and her mental health.. And all I get from HR is ” I have to support her and accommodate her. When I started work in the early 70’s any employer would of told her to fuck off and sort her sex life out while she’s at it.
16
Agree with those that are saying that Biles used to win everything, but she’s ‘getting on a bit’ in gymnastic terms.
She probably just isn’t as good as she used to be, not used to losing and, as the kids say, ‘rage quit’.
Thing is, she revealed a lot when she said she wanted it to be all about her, not other people. Fucking hell, I admire her honesty at least. There was silly old me thinking she was representing her country and helping her team mates.
Her team got silver too. Could’ve got gold though if this stroppy tart didn’t flounce off after a below par first event.
Brave? Fuck off! Stroppy, selfish and entitled more like. Using a very real issue as an excuse, like mental health, is out of order too. She was out cheering her team on and seemed fine to me too. If she’d been having a breakdown or seeing things, she’d not have hung around, the lying cunt.
The media’s reaction has been fucking pathetic too. Next, some cunt will walk up to take the last penalty in a shoot out and demand they be taken off the pitch because ‘I want this to be all about me enjoying myself and this is not fun. This is stressful and I feel like I’ve got mental health issues.’
The kick would be forfeited (a replacement is not allowed once names are taken in order and handed to the ref) and the cup lost.
Would they champion the cunt as brave? I think they would if he was… (you can guess the missing word).
13
Agree Cunty, the media has been running with this GOAT bollocks (greatest of all time) which only highlights the fucking absurdity of it all.
5
The sad thing is that all people will remember is Simone Biles quitting and being lionised as a ‘hero’ for her mental health struggles and the gold medalists, y’know the actual winners in this sorry shit show will just be an afterthought.
9
Agree.
The good news though, is that she herself will be remembered now for quitting, and not for all the medals she won in previous games.
I bet she hadn’t thought of that one!
10
Matt Lee seems to have been scrubbed out of history in less than a week – he was Tom Daley’s (diving) partner, but as Tom has gone from “the baby of the team to the grandfather” (his own words), the fact old Tom only won because he had a partner as good as him has been completely overlooked by the BBC. Matt’s own fault for not being gay.
11
I noticed this, it’s as if he doesn’t exist. I’d be livid if I were him.
9
I won’t remember any of the fuckers for any reason at all.
6
🎵 She’s a loser, she’s a joker, an Olympic Choker….
4
People these days seem to think that anything going different than they want it to is completely unacceptable. It’s called life you cunts! Live it or leave it.
8
What really boils my piss is this constant, incessant, ramming down our throats of that “ we need to talk about mental health “ and “ we don’t hear enough about it”.
THAT IS ALL WE EVER HEAR.
It’s been constant headlines on breakfast tv now for at least 15 years.
I’ve been through, just like most cunters on here, numerous things that I could have played a mental health card. 2 divorces, one messy with a child, 3 redundancies one being where I turned up to find the premises locked up and a sign saying closed for good. Nearly all my family has died all be it three left. Jobs that have left me feeling that I don’t want to get up in the morning to do the 2 hour drive from Bermondsey to St Albans to do a shit job and a two hour drive back through the London traffic. I can go on and on.
But not once have I ever had time off because of mental illness. I’m sure I suffered. I know I suffered looking back but the will to not let down others was stronger than going off for six months moping at home.
I don’t know maybe I’m a selfish cunt but I really hold my head in my hands when people go off on these issues just because they got Rice Krispies for breakfast instead of crunchy nut cornflakes.
Sorry for rant but this nom has really got my goat. In a good way. I just needed to vent. Sorry guys I got a day off holiday and a splitting headache.
Carry on Cunting as this site is a great source of info as well as funny as fuck.
15
totally agree. Did some fucking shit jobs with 2 hour commutes each way. Wish I had had the luxury of quitting due to “mental health”, but I had a family to support.
2
There can’t be a great deal of dough in the gymnastics game. However there’s an awful lot more in being a wokie media personality. Call me Mr Cynical but I suspect Ms Biles has an agent with an eye on the long game.
8
As well as a podium for the 3 winners (Gold. Silver and bronze); perhaps there should be an additional podium for “Me and my Mental Health” (Gold, Silver and Bronze). That way, even losers are winners!
5
It’s not fair on the people who recieve the bronze. That could traumatize them for life. No I am going to start a campaign to reorder the medals so if you come third you get Gold. If you come second you get get Gold as welk and if you come first you get Bronze. I think that’s only fair.
4
No doubt her mental ‘elf problems stem from her persecution as the descendent of slaves. Cos I is bleck innit as well. Woke snowflake biatch.
6
What a fucking sore loser… the whole point of being a ‘good sport’ is finishing the game with a positive intention to win or to at least lose graciously
Sheit can’t be first so I’ll cry foul and get the spotlight on me sad sap tactics
4
Talking of “sore losers” widely unreported in MSM were 2 judo cunts, one from Sudan and one from Algeria, who withdrew from the competition. Why? Because they were drawn to fight an Israeli.
Anti Semitism at the Olympics? Far more important than this bird’s mental elf?
Apparently not.
13
Make them fight each other then.
To the death.
5
“Because they were drawn to fight an Israeli.”
Huh? don’t geddit? you would have thought they’d have jumped at the chance.

Sorry to go off topic, but a bit of good news for a change: Stephen Bouquet, who likes to be known by the more cuddly “Steve”, the man in Brighton who maimed and killed 16 cats (that we know of), finally appeared in the dock this morning and got a 5 year stretch:
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/brighton-cat-killer-steve-bouquet-jailed-five-years-b948433.html
Let’s hope he has to share his cell with an 18 stone six foot six sex deviant, which is quite possible in Brighton, and has to become his bitch.
7
and self-identifies as an un-neutered tom cat.
7
I hope the cunt is tortured and generally fucked about with!
6
The piece of fucking vile shit. I hate cruelty to animals. Pets are part of the family, feel so sorry for the families. Hope this cunt gets what’s coming to him in the nick.
10
I failed my exams – mental health
I failed my driving test – mental health
I failed to get to work on time – mental health
I missed the train – mental health
I forgot to buy something – mental health
I lost at snakes & ladders – mental health
I killed 10 pedestrians while I was driving and looking at my phone – mental health.
welcome to someone else’s problem!

It has to be said that, black wimminz especially, are very good at deflecting their own failings onto others. A few days ago (Tuesday I think) On The World At One, on the day of the Lambeth Sexual abuse story in their care homes, Wireless 4 interviewed the one-time left wing firebrand, Linda Bellos who was “in charge” of the department. Bellos, to be fair to her, was probably far too busy at strikes and demos, and wimmins groups to know too much about her real job, but in a quavery voice announced that the media didn’t like her in the 70s because “I was black, I was a lesbian and a feminist” – you could almost feel sorry for the raddled old cunt, till you realised her stupidity resulted in God knows how many kids suffering abuse, and later genuine mental health problems, thanks to the old whores total lack of suitability for her job.
17
I heard the interview, my ears pricked up as it was a name from the past. She got off very lightly. I didn’t know she was a bean flicker, I had always assumed she was Red Ted’s shagbag.
2
The Olympics has been a positive for my mental health.
I’ve been feeling pretty low recently, I can’t remember the last time I smiled let alone laugh, but I’ve just seen some of the women’s football….
10
I’m going to do my nauseating “to be fair…” act again. Apologies in advance, but:
Long ago one of my slender income streams consisted of doing casual work for a local marine engineering outfit. A bit of MIG welding and fabrication, fibreglass repairs, wiring etc. Then along came some fucking prick who offered his services to said engineer for free. Could afford to, wife loaded. Dilettante, got him out of the house, that sort of thing. Also a crawling cunt.
Odd jobs for Komodo ceased at that point. For months. Then one day, during a spell of rather nasty weather, Engineer asked me (as if there had been no hiatus) if I would replace the rubbing strip on a boat in the yard. This is a fairly loathsome outdoor job, includes accurately drilling holes while holding an elephant-trunk- size lump of rubber, then bolting the bastard to the hull along with a lot of sealant…awkward. It did not take me too many seconds to work out why I had been offered the job. Tarquin (or it may have been Julian) had declined it. There were limits to what he would do for free.
Point being, I felt literally choked and sick. I couldn’t even look at the job. I told Engineer where he could stick it. And I needed the money. The cunt was taking me for granted after giving his mate (crawling bastard) the work I was dependent on. And that’s rather like what Biles reportedly said: something to the effect of she had suddenly realised that the sport was no longer enjoyable, it was no longer satisfying her needs, but was entirely for other peoples’ benefit. She was being taken for granted.
Sure, she let the team down, and if you want to look at it that way, the country. But I sort of understand why.
3
I don’t see the similarities to be honest.
I would’ve done the same thing as you with the cunt who asked you to do a job for him after he cunted you off (mind you, hard to turn down free labour!) That’s just having some personal and professional pride.
In Biles’s case, a similar situation would be the selector not choosing her over another athlete (only because she’d pay her own flight and hotel as she’s minted), and then that athlete quits. He then asks Biles to drop everything and come to Japan. She’d be justified in telling him to do one too.
That’s not what happened. She was competing (and considered a god by her team) and quit a team event because the going got tough on her for once.
Unless I completely misunderstood your point, which is possible.
2
I never thought I’d say this as I am usually pretty unempathetic (autistic spectrum, anyone?) but what I thought I understood was her feelings. I certainly don’t approve of her action, but I do know that when you have a massive sense of grievance – rightly or wrongly – it’s a colossal mental block to overcome.
2
I wouldn’t trust one of these mitmots to light the Olympic torch.
Probably burn someones house down.
They’re not allowed matches or sharp objects.
Bunch of puddled twats.
2
Never did watch the Olympics, maybe just a few highlights. This time, no interest at all. The whole thing’s been devalued. And then with these moaning cunts saying they’re not mentally fit to compete. Get to fuck. I thought it was all about going in and doing your best for your country. What a quaint old-fashioned idea.
3
Add to the list the Romanian brit half chinese lass at wibleedon. Starts to lose, hasn’t got the mental experience or match experience and whimpers off with a knackered shoulder. She can test that with a few handies for toxic whenever she so wishes
2
Got to ask.
Do monkey bars still exist ?
