Shortly After Fans Complain About Simone Biles Getting the Medal of Freedom Over Michael Phelps, Biles Complains She Was Given a Coloring Book on a Plane

Recently, Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles, “woke” soccer player Megan Rapinoe and many others received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Joe Biden. Many were happy for Biles and the rest. Biles posted gleefully to Instagram:

However, some felt Michael Phelps was snubbed. Phelps has 28 Olympic medals to Biles 7, and many mentioned on Twitter how Biles dropped out of the Olympics at one point. We reported on that below:

Simone Biles took to Instagram on her flight home from receiving her medal. She had something to complain about, however. Being that she is a petite person, an airline flight attendant who may not have known who she was, apparently offered her a coloring book, thinking she was younger than she actually is. Biles took to her huge fan base to gripe about it.

Some were angry, but some said they simply would have taken the coloring book. Biles assured her fans that she made sure the airline staff knew she was old enough to get an alcoholic drink, however.

“I would’ve taken it smh”

Biles has every right to do all this, and her fans have the right to their opinions. It may be tough in the eyes of Phelps fans, however, to realize that he didn’t even get the opportunity to be mistaken for someone who may have wanted a coloring book.

Phelps fans can take some solace knowing that he recently got a different honor:

“What a night!!!
Humbled and honored to be inducted to the United States Olympic and Paralympic HOF.

Thanks to all who voted for me🙏🙏Congrats to my other classmates. Class of 2022!!!”
