    American gymnasts Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles claimed silver and bronze in the Floor final at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games on Monday, trailing only Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade in gold.

    After the event, Biles and Chiles showed Andrade the ultimate respect — bowing to her from either side of the podium.

    Many viewed this as a beautiful moment of respect, admiration and sportsmanship. But Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey did not share that sentiment.

    "This is literally disgusting," the former All-Pro defensive back wrote on X in response to the viral photo.

    Humphrey is getting crushed by fans on social media for this controversial response.

    "God forbid athletes show respect to a fellow athlete who has suffered a torn ACL multiple times," one fan wrote.

    "So giving someone (Rebeca Andrade) the respect and adulation after they’ve come back from three ACL tears and winning gold medal in possibly the toughest sport is disgusting? Some of these people are entitled and deplorable," another said.

    "600k words in the English language and these are the four you chose to describe a gracious act of sportsmanship …" another added.

    Biles finished her 2024 Olympic campaign with four more medals, including gold in the team finals, All-Around and Vault. Chiles notched the first individual medal of her Olympic career with bronze in the Floor.

    "She's so amazing. She's queen," Biles said of Andrade after the Floor final. "... Jordan [Chiles] was like 'Should we bow to her?' And I was like 'Absolutely!' ... That's why we did it.

    "She's such an excitement to watch. All the fans in the crowd are always cheering for her. It was just the right thing to do."
