‘The Atlantic’ journalist, Jemele Hill, succinctly quoted Simone Biles with, “Her greatness is a form of resistance.” In a world full of social media taking over by storm, we often forget to embrace and reward the people from less popular sports or professions. One such example is the legendary gymnast, Simone Biles.
Simone posted a training video of her doing something no other woman has done and it got 3M hits. If you want to argue Logan Paul deserved more coverage, so be it. But the most decorated gymnast of all time deserves … none? Not one post?

In addition, Hill is known to fearlessly speak her mind, and she displayed a sad truth about our society. The 25-year-old American gymnast, Simone Biles, has already achieved what many athletes take a very long time to do. The journalist pointed out that the major sports media houses were covering Logan Paul extensively, while the extraordinary gymnast had close to no media coverage.

Moreover, last year a tweet went viral on the internet that showed the coverage of Logan Paul’s fight with Floyd Mayweather and Olympic legend, Simone Biles.
