An outspoken NFL star was not happy with a viral photo of Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles showing love for Rebeca Andrade after she won Olympic gold in the floor exercise on Monday.
Simone Biles and the United States have dominated the gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. But in a giant upset, the 25-year-old Andrade claimed gold to become the most decorated Brazilian Olympian ever (six total medals).
Biles finished second to claim a silver medal, with Chiles taking home the bronze. As the three Olympians stood on the podium to celebrate their performances, Biles and Chiles performed a classy gesture by showing their love to Andrade:

Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles received widespread praise for their sportsmanlike gesture, but Baltimore Ravens All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey took issue with it and send out this four-word post on X:
This is literally disgusting https://t.co/zKdrsOLnwd

Marlon Humphrey has never been shy to express his opinions on social media, even if they will lead to significant backlash (such as this one). The 28-year-old three-time Pro Bowler and his Ravens will open the 2024 season with a road tilt against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the annual NFL Kickoff Game.
Andrade’s triumph in Paris is especially inspiring considering that she tore her ACL three times. But that never slowed down the Brazilian legend, who now has two Olympic gold medals to her name.
Simone Biles Keeps Adding To Her Special Legacy
The 27-year-old Biles is the most decorated gymnast ever with 11 Olympic medals (seven gold, two silver and two bronze) and 30 World Championship medals.
Biles will be 31 years of age by the time the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California roll around. Per the Olympics official website, Biles said, “You just never know” in regards to potentially competing at those games.
Biles has already cemented herself as the GOAT, so anything she accomplishes after the 2024 Summer Olympics is just gravy.
