It’s too bad kids today didn’t grow up watching that Americans don’t quit! Kerri Strug is an amazing American athlete.”How did you feel about our most well known olympic athlete quitting in the middle of the competition?

Here's a selection of some of them.Kerri’s lucky she didn’t do permanent damage by competing on an injury.This is a HORRIBLE take. https://t.co/UJ4FKfRDuF— riasangelina (@riasangelina) July 28, 2021Good GOD what a bad take. It's well known by now that Kerri told her coach that she didnt want to do it and her coach told her she had to. USA Gymnastics was an abusive organization for YEARS. If you wanted an example to use, sis this was NOT it. https://t.co/t3ARiK8ovF— 🄰🄸🄼🄴🄴 (@aimzers84) July 28, 2021Another shitty AF take on Twitter today.Sure, after one of the men who abused these women for decades, talked her into not quitting, she was never able to compete again.
