Ya only praise us like we are gods but don't ask stupid questions lololol.

Sorry lady you are a professionally paid and highly trained athlete stop acting like an amateur with these little pissy twitter comments.

She's spot on. The first question they get asked is what's next at every damn interview especially to the older athletes. It isn't appropriate and it puts them in an uncomfortable spot. Simone is a married woman and asking her what's next is essentially asking her is when are you having kids.

I hope she keeps tweeting because watching people get twisted up in knots over them is awesome to see.



Gold for USA Cycling



Scottie!!!!!

I don’t think that asking an elite athlete (in any sport) whether or not they plan on coming back for another year is an unfair question.

It happens to all elite athletes when they approach the back end of their careers.

I understand why athletes don’t like answering it, because it forces them to confront the fact that they’re approaching the end of the line, but it’s a fair question to ask.

Maybe once but not after every single competition which is likely what she's talking about. She's been asked at least 4x now and I can see why she tweeted what she did.

Unfreakingbelievable. Women's badminton singles Spain vs China. Announcers are going on & on about how the Spaniard suffered 2 devastating knee injuries after winning gold in Rio but you'd never know it now blah blah and doesn't she go down with what looks like another serious knee injury. She was clearly in severe pain.

Announcers: don't jinx athletes like that!!!!!!

I didn’t see the golf but I was aware Rahm was winning by multiple strokes on back 9

I’m assuming you watched

If so how crazy was it and where would it rate if had the entire stage like Masters or US Open

I love Fleetwood so glad he got silver

I’ve got to find this and watch

I’m heading out to a concert with a buddy of mine who works for FSG marketing and owned a golf club tournament product/clothing licensed with PGA

I’m looking to to hear what he says

Sound wild

He was 4 back and shot a 62.

Golfer of the Year.

She’s on point. Glad she’s calling them out.

Suni Lee is up on bars in about 40 minutes. She goes last so she’ll know what she needs to reach the podium. This is the event she really wants to earn a medal for.

I can’t wait to see what leotard she wears.

Whenever they ask what's next I just think of this
