Simone knew she couldn't perform at her best and would cost her team, who are all amazing gymnasts. So she withdraw so they could shine. Now they won the gold! Yay!

Guess I don't need to watch now. Tbh, tho, I've hated NBCs coverage. All commercials, no flow or GPV Jul 2021 #1

Great, thanks for the spoiler. 😡 bamagal62 Jul 2021 #2

Absolutely shitty thing to do on this board greenjar_01 Jul 2021 #9

Hard to scroll past a headline..try it like this next time likesmountains 52 Jul 2021 #14

The edit post function on DU allows you to change your headline in the post. GumboYaYa Jul 2021 #18

She's not actually sorry, but is, in fact, reveling in it greenjar_01 Jul 2021 #19

The headline was unavoidable Jimbo S Jul 2021 #29

You say, "I am avoiding 'all other' news sources," so you obviously consider DU a news source. Native Jul 2021 #37

DU has a long history of thoughtful members avoiding the posting of spoilers. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #49

IMO - Spoiler alerts are for recently released movies FBaggins Jul 2021 #66

Scan through this thread. Apparently many do not share your opinion. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #72

They appear to be in the clear minority FBaggins Jul 2021 #76

As I said, it's your call. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #78

You're misrepresenting his statement FBaggins Jul 2021 #85

Now you're either being disingenuous or deliberately obtuse. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #89

So you admit that it's not spoilers in general... FBaggins Jul 2021 #90

I consider this a message board Jimbo S Jul 2021 #60

You expect a lot more of people than I do! Native Jul 2021 #62

How in the fuck does one avoid it when it's the first thing one sees upon logging on? 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #54

Umm, thanks? I was planning to watch it zuul Jul 2021 #3

The point would be, I think, frazzled Jul 2021 #5

Well, that's that then. It doesn't bother you, ergo no problem. 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #47

Glad it doesn't bother you. It ruins the experience for a lot of us. zuul Jul 2021 #53

lmao that people are angry about a "spoiler" in LBN. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #32

Right? SunSeeker Jul 2021 #40

Well, I browse Greatest threads not LBN, and I ran across it. That's why people are angry. elias7 Jul 2021 #69

Seems to me just browsing forums directly for a couple weeks would do the trick. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #70
