‘Disgusting’: NFL Star Rips USA Gymnasts For Bowing To Brazilian Opponent On Olympic Podium

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey was not amused when two female U.S.A. gymnasts bowed down to their Brazilian competitor on the Olympic podium.

Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade won gold in women’s floor on Monday, with Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles taking home the silver and bronze medals, respectively. On the medal podium, Biles and Chiles bowed to Andrade — an image that went viral.

Captioning the photo, Humphrey wrote, “This is literally disgusting.”

Biles told TODAY that she bowed to Andrade as a sign of sportsmanship — a view Humphrey clearly does not hold.

“I think it’s all about sportsmanship, and we don’t care whether we win or lose. We’re always going to keep a good face and support our competitors because they’ve worked just as hard as we have for that moment,” Biles said on Tuesday.

“So you have to give them their flowers,” she continued. “And that’s exactly what me and Jordan were doing, and we were so happy for her. She deserved it. She had the best floor routine of the day and in the Olympics. So it’s like, yeah, she deserved it.”

Chiles said that bowing to the Brazilian gymnast was her idea, in part because it was a “black podium.”

“That was actually my idea,” she said. “Rebeca has done a lot within her sport, within her country. So I felt like not only was it a black podium, I felt like people should get recognized the proper way, and bowing down to her was like giving her that recognition that she really deserved that medal.”

Biles notably took a swipe at former President Donald Trump after securing her first two gold medals at the Paris Olympics.

“Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job,” one X user wrote.

“I love my black job,” Biles responded, adding a black heart emoji.

While speaking about the problems created by the Biden-Harris open border, Trump explained that jobs are being taken by illegal immigrants that could otherwise go to struggling Americans, specifically citing jobs held by black Americans. Trump called them “black jobs” when talking about the issue, and the media and Democrats pounced on the wording, rather than the substance.

“I will tell you that coming from the border, are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs,” Trump said.
