Former First Lady Michelle Obama has thrown her support behind Olympic gymnast Simone Biles. But the context of why she did so may be confusing. Her comment comes after Marlon Humphrey, an NFL cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens, called Simone Biles "disgusting" for bowing to Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade on stage. Here's a rundown of what Michelle Obama said about Simone Biles and how it even relates to Humphrey.

Michelle Obama posted a photo on Facebook on August 6 of Simone Biles and her American gymnast Jordan Chiles bowing to Rebeca Andrade, along with the following caption:

"I'm still not over this beautiful moment of sisterhood and sportsmanship! You can just feel the love radiating through these ladies. Congratulations Rebeca, Jordan and Simone!"

For context, Rebeca Andrade won the gold medal in the floor exercise final on Monday, August 5, after Simone Biles made some uncharacteristic mistakes and possibly aggravated a calf injury by stepping out of bounds multiple times. On the other hand, Chiles won the bronze medal after she filed an inquiry with the judges, who decided to upgrade her score to third place. Regardless, both Biles and Chiles decided to praise Andrade on the podium, as it was the first gold medal for the Brazilian gymnast.
