Despite being one of the most decorated athletes of all time,?Simone Biles?often faces criticism for various reasons. In one such instance, a radio host refused to believe that Biles is a professional gymnast, thus grabbing eyeballs. Fans swarmed Twitter to support their favorite idol and listed her achievements to enlighten the host.

Radio show host Holden Kushner attracted many annoyed fans due to his tweet on Simone Biles. While fans defended her stance, they also questioned the basis on which Kushner made claims about Biles’ proficiency. While some listed down her achievements, others went the harsher route. Let’s take a look at some of the top fan reactions.

The radio host didn’t consider Simone Biles a professional athlete

Kushner posted a tweet indicating how he only considered Tom Brady and Michael Jordan to be a few of the most professional athletes he’s witnessed. This prompted his audience to interact and pick out other prominent names in the sporting world. Two of the names highlighted were Serena Williams and Simone Biles. However, this is where the radio host opened up the floodgates of criticism upon himself.

In a scathing statement, Kushner proclaimed that he did not consider Biles a professional athlete.?
