And Calm has already signed on as a corporate sponsor of the Bucks and Trail Blazers,\u201d Rowady noted.<\/p>\n<p>Entertainment and business law attorney Domenic Romano of Romano Law hit another note, emphasizing that any company choosing to pull sponsorship from Biles could do serious damage to their image.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing tone-deaf could anger consumers and fans who are strong supporters and discourage future athletes from pursuing marketing relationships with brands that display insensitivity,\u201d Romano said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever you get in a high-stress situation, you kind of freak out. I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being,\u201d Biles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/simone-biles-naomi-osaka-mental-health-olympics_n_61001bdae4b00fa7af7c385b\">told<\/a> reporters after she pulled out of the finals and stunning fans and competitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to protect our body and our mind. It just sucks when you\u2019re fighting with your own head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m also not having as much fun \u2014 and this Olympic Games I wanted it to be for myself and it felt like I was still doing for other people \u2014 and that hurts my heart that doing what I love has been taken away from me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s more to life than just gymnastics,\u201d Biles added.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old then made the decision to skip the&nbsp;individual all-around competition, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition, in order to focus on her mental health,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/simone-biles-withdraws-from-individual-all-around-event-to-focus-on-mental-health\">statement<\/a> from USA Gymnastics said. \u201cSimone will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether or not to participate in next week\u2019s individual event finals. Jade Carey, who had the ninth highest score in the qualifications, will participate in her place in the all-around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wholeheartedly support Simone\u2019s decision and applaud her bravery in prioritizing her well-being.
