**SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE**

Olympic superstar Simone Biles has made headlines for her incredible athletic prowess, but now she’s speaking out on a different kind of competition – the competition for respect and dignity in the face of national anthem kneeling.

In a bold and unapologetic statement, Simone Biles has called out those who choose to kneel during the national anthem, urging swift action against those who disrespect the nation’s honor.

“I don’t understand why some people feel the need to disrespect our country’s anthem,” said Biles. “The national anthem is a symbol of our nation’s freedom, unity, and sacrifice. It’s not about politics or social justice; it’s about showing respect for the country that has given us so much.”

Biles, who is a proud American and a vocal supporter of the military and first responders, believes that those who kneel during the national anthem are sending the wrong message to young people.

“These kids are looking up to us as role models, and when they see us disrespecting our country’s anthem, they’re getting the wrong message,” said Biles. “They’re being told that it’s okay to disrespect our nation’s honor, and that’s not what we want to teach them.”

The Olympic superstar also took aim at those who claim that kneeling is a form of protest against systemic racism and police brutality.

“Protesting is one thing, but disrespecting our country’s anthem is another,” said Biles. “We have a platform to make a difference, and we should use it to uplift and inspire others, not to tear our country down.”

Biles’ comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some calling her a “sellout” and others praising her for standing up for what she believes in.

But Biles isn’t backing down, saying that she’s willing to take on anyone who disagrees with her.

“I’m not afraid to stand up for what I believe in, even if it means going against the crowd,” said Biles. “I’m an American, and I’m proud of it. And I’ll always stand up for our nation’s honor and dignity.”
