Simone Biles Slams USA Gymnastics President After Controversial Tweet
Simone Biles speaking out in response to a controversial tweet from interim USA Gymnastics president and CEO Mary Bono.
Mary was named to the position last week and it didn’t take long for a recent tweet of hers to go viral.
In a now deleted post, Mary shared a photo of herself filling in a Nike logo on a pair of sneakers in response to Colin Kaepernick‘s campaign.
Mary wrote, “Playing in a charity golf tournament raising money for our nation’s Special Forces operators and their families. Unfortunately had these shoes in my bag. Luckily I had a marker in my bag too.”
Simone quoted the tweet, writing, “*mouth drop* don’t worry, it’s not like we needed a smarter usa gymnastics president or any sponsors or anything”
Mary has since expressed regret for posting the tweet.
