Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn's anti-Trump activism didn't help her stick the landing at the Milan Cortina Olympics, where the self-proclaimed "woke b*tch" crashed to a devastating 13th place finish in the women's short program.
Glenn, who made headlines for whining about America's LGBT community supposedly suffering under President Trump's leadership, was overcome with emotion after her disappointing performance on the ice. Maybe she should have spent less time virtue signaling and more time practicing her jumps.
The skater had previously used her platform to attack the Trump administration and champion far-left causes, even going so far as to embrace the "woke b*tch" label with pride. Now she's learning the hard way that politics doesn't win medals – talent and hard work do.
When Woke Goes Wrong
This is what happens when athletes prioritize pushing radical ideology over representing their country with excellence. While other competitors focused on perfecting their craft, Glenn was busy lecturing Americans about her progressive pet causes.
Her tearful reaction to the 13th place finish speaks volumes. Instead of taking responsibility for her poor preparation, she'll probably blame her failure on everything except her own lack of focus and dedication to the sport that was supposed to be her priority.
Patriots watching at home have to wonder: why are we sending activists instead of our best athletes to represent America on the world stage? Glenn's performance is an embarrassment to the red, white, and blue.
This debacle serves as a perfect reminder that going woke often means going broke – or in this case, going home empty-handed. While Glenn was busy virtue signaling, her competitors were busy training. The scoreboard doesn't lie, and neither do the tears of a failed activist masquerading as an elite athlete.
Maybe next time Team USA will prioritize selecting athletes who want to win for America, not lecture America. Our country deserves champions, not crybaby activists who can't deliver when it counts.
