@Simone_Biles Thanks for calling them out. \n\nAnd I don\u2019t believe for ONE SECOND this was a mistake. It was intentional, because that\u2019s how they are.

@Simone_Biles Wow. 30 seconds of research shows this is Shilese Jones. You can't expect much from @WSJ \n@louiseradnofsky did you see the photo added to your article?

@Fly_Sistah @Deoliver47 @Simone_Biles @WSJ @louiseradnofsky It is so wrong, lazy, & disrespectful to Simon Biles, his literally the greatest female gymnast of all times. \ud83e\udd2c @WSJ you need to apologize NOW. https://t.co/dhKWWExBK0

@Simone_Biles @WSJ This is really rather poor. One of the world's greatest sporting icons, just happens to be American, and you, an American newspaper, can't even stretch to using the correct picture of her, at one of her greatest triumphs. What does one call that...

@Simone_Biles Wow @WSJ. Any Black woman will do? We do not all look alike. Do better! You\u2019re so embarrassing \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f

@Simone_Biles Meanwhile at the @WSJ \n\n"Just use that picture of that black gymnast!"\n\n"But sir, the one I have isn't her."\n\n"No one will notice. Just run it!"

@Simone_Biles I guess all black gymnasts with 37 medals all look alike??

@WSJ @Simone_Biles Not even "we regret the error", let alone a real apology? Do you even pretend to have integrity?

— Aaron Zerhusen (@Aaron Zerhusen) 1696862481

@Simone_Biles And they can\u2019t even just say sorry. Just own it and apologize. Sorry Simone

— Mark Stone (@Mark Stone) 1696888486

@WSJ @Simone_Biles An apology would be polite\u2026.

With 37 world and Olympic medals now, Simone Biles added to her extraordinary legacy at the world championships in Belgium (the photo in an earlier post, now deleted, misidentified a gymnast as Simone Biles) https://t.co/vjWMZVLQGi
