    I thought it was pretty lame for Simone Biles to bail on her teammates over just "mental stress," but once I saw what her actual problem was - aerial disorientation - I understood. Gymnasts, like pilots, can die from that.

        Athletes have to walk it off & gut through injuries a lot. That's true of mental as well as physical problems. But in each case, there are things you can play through & things you shouldn't.

        Given the torque she generates, and her distance off the ground, she probably had no realistic chance to perform with any degree of safety.

        It reminds me of a starting pitcher who's getting lit up with a couple of homers and can't get his pitches on target.

        Most of her critics never got to the point of seeing what her actual problem was.
