Fans Furious Simone Biles Got Medal of Freedom from Biden but Michael Phelps Didn’t

Sports fans are furious that Democrat President Joe Biden awarded the Medal of Freedom to Olympic athlete Simone Biles but not her fellow Olympian Michael Phelps.

Biden stoked controversy by giving the Medal of Freedom to Biles, far-left soccer star Megan Rapinoe, and 15 more people at the White House last week.

Many Americans were disappointed that hugely successful swimmer Phelps was not on the list but Rapinoe, who has protested the country, and Simone Biles, who quit during the Olympics, got one.

According to the White House, Bilesโ€™s selection was based on more than her accomplishments in sports and that she helped move the conversation around mental health forward.

Michael Phelps fans were not buying it:

โ€œOK so then where is Michael Phelps CMF Jenny Thompsons, Darragh Torres, Natalie Coughlin, Allyson Felix. Katie Ledecky and others. She is a quitter.

โ€œShe let down the country and her team and did nothing, absolutely nothing to receive such a high honor as a CMFโ€

โ€œSimone Biles: An Olympic athlete who didnโ€™t bother participating in the majority of her events in 2021. *Gets Medal of Freedom*

“Michael Phelps: Gets 28 medals over 4 Olympic games. Didnโ€™t withdraw from a single event. *Gets nothing*โ€

โ€œMaybe you should catch up on the fact that she quit on her team and Michael Phelps has been everything that an American athlete should ever be.

โ€œWeโ€™re awarding a quitter. But thatโ€™s part [sic] for the course for a generation that gives trophies to kids who come in fifth placeโ€

โ€œTo specify: Simone Biles medals: 7 Michael Phelps medals: 28 Simone Biles Golds: 4 Larissa Latynina Golds: 9 22 other gymnasts have more medals than Simone Biles.

โ€œOnce again, must be fun to run your mouth with made-up facts. What world do you people even live in?โ€

โ€œSimone Biles is a personal friend of Obama’s.

“Why canโ€™t Olympians like Michael Phelps get one too?

โ€œMichael Phelps is one of the best swimmers of his generation who has enjoyed many milestones in his career.

โ€œHe won 28 Olympic medals and is the most decorated Olympian of all time.โ€

โ€œI do believe Michael Phelps has spoken out about metal [sic] health way before Simone and she wasnโ€™t the first girl to speak out against abuse in her sport.

“That said she is an amazing young lady very accomplished.

“So both of you are right so letโ€™s agree when we can.โ€
