Jason Whitlock has given a merciless response to Simone Biles after Olympian opened up on why she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Biles appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast this week where she admitted that negative attention on social media contributed to her pulling out of the last Games.
‘America hates me. The world is going to hate me. I can only see what they’re saying on Twitter right now, Biles said. ‘Usually if you go to the Olympics and flop or whatever it is, you get people on their couch eating those little chips.
‘I thought I was going to be banned from America, ’cause that’s what they tell you: ‘Don’t come back if not gold. Gold or bust. Don’t come back.’
Whitlock responded to the 27-year-old by dismissing her reputation in comparison to Caitlin Clark, who was recently the first pick in the WNBA Draft by Indiana Fever.

Jason Whitlock has since delivered a merciless response to some of Biles’ comments
Whitlock captioned the video, uploaded to X: ‘Simone Biles is pretending like she’s Caitlin Clark and that people actually know who she is.
‘She’s built up this importance of herself and does things to make herself feel important.’
Whitlock then said in the clip: ‘Simeone Biles is pretending like she’s Caitlin Clark and people actually know who she is.
‘She’s a gymnast and every four years they are relevant for a two or three week stretch. But Simon Biles could walk by the overwhelming majority of people in ап airport and they wouldn’t think twice – ‘oh there goes a little black girl’. They just wouldn’t think twice. ‘
So they build up this importance of themselves. And then they start doing things to make themselves appear important.
‘But in the grand scheme of things she is not important. She didn’t cut through the way when Caitlin Clark goes anywhere, people recognize her. That’s not the same for Simeone Biles.
‘It is a by-product of these young people and this new era we are living in where Twitter is their reality. It distorts reality.’
Biles, meanwhile, is expected to compete in the U.S. Classic in Hartford, Connecticut next month.
It is unclear if she will compete in this year’s Olympics in Paris, where the opening ceremony is scheduled for July 26,.
