Unless one has experienced the sport of topic, who can really say how much pressure is placed  upon the shoulders of a athlete -especially at the elite level.

America has a problematic history of naming ( for example) a black person who may be skilled in a instrument such as the fiddle- and nicknaming ( dehumanizing) them according  to their instrument aka " the fiddler."

As long as that particular black man or woman could make the slave holder money and highlight prestige towards them- 

they could care less about that black persons health whether; that be mental or physical.

Yet, if this brilliant, intellectual, and uniquely talented athlete never did as much as a cartwheel for America again- she would have already achieved more than most within the sport has done in 2-3 lifetimes !

P.S:( During the episode) I meant to say Dominque Dawes not Dawson- much respect :)
