Furthermore, the YouTuber also claimed that “we are raising a generation of weak people like Simone Biles.” He later clarified his comments by praising Biles as “probably the greatest gymnast of all time”. But he also declared she was also “selfish, she’s immature, and a shame to the country”.

Support poured in for Biles, including Paige Spiranac

People did not take Kirk’s comments lightly. Many lashed out at him. Among those was Golf sensation Paige Spiranac, who had a fitting reply to recall Biles’ record-breaking achievements.
