Sometimes karma comes on ice skates. Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn, who made headlines for calling herself a "woke b*tch" and lamenting America's supposed treatment of the LGBT community under President Trump, delivered a disastrous performance at the Milan Cortina Olympics, finishing a humiliating 13th place in the women's short program.
Glenn, who chose to make her political activism front and center instead of focusing on her sport, was reportedly "overcome with emotion" after her disappointing showing. But here's the thing, Patriots – when you spend more time virtue signaling than perfecting your craft, don't be surprised when reality comes calling.
The skater previously made waves by decrying what she claimed was the "plight" of America's LGBT community under the Trump administration. Apparently, she was too busy crafting woke talking points to nail down her triple jumps.
Woke Politics vs. Olympic Excellence
This is what happens when athletes prioritize political grandstanding over the dedication and focus required for Olympic-level competition. While Glenn was busy playing victim and attacking the President who's actually making America great again, her international competitors were in the rink perfecting their programs.
Glenn's poor performance serves as yet another reminder that going woke often leads to going broke – or in this case, going home empty-handed. American sports fans are tired of athletes who use their platforms to trash the very country that gave them opportunities to compete on the world stage.
Meanwhile, President Trump continues to deliver on his America First agenda, creating an environment where those who actually love this country can thrive. It's telling that Glenn chose to focus on imaginary oppression rather than the real opportunity to bring honor to the United States at the Olympics.
The question Americans should be asking is simple: Do we want athletes who spend their time complaining about their own country, or do we want competitors who channel that energy into excellence and making America proud on the world stage?
