Editorial cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz spoke to TODAY about his viral cartoon.
"Even though she is one of the top athletes in the world, I saw that she was under such a harsh spotlight and inappropriate criticism simply for trying to take care of herself. I felt the need to support her struggle by drawing this cartoon," he wrote in an email.
In the cartoon, Biles earned the top spot because she put her mental health first. Alcaraz applauded the gymnast for her act of courage. "The message is that Simone, like all people, is in a category all of her own. Her mental health, and everyone’s mental health, should be a top concern, over anything else in life," he said."Only she completely understands what she’s going through, and we should applaud her for recognizing whatever problem she is having, and taking actions to address it.
