Sometimes karma delivers justice with perfect timing. Amber Glenn, the Team USA figure skater who spent more energy attacking President Trump and his supporters than perfecting her triple axel, just face-planted on the world's biggest stage with a crushing 13th place finish in the women's short program at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
Glenn, who proudly branded herself a "woke bitch" and used her platform to trash the Trump administration over so-called LGBT persecution, was overcome with emotion after her disappointing performance – though probably not the kind of emotions she expected when she decided to go political instead of focusing on her sport.
This is what happens when athletes think their Twitter activism matters more than their actual athletic performance. While Glenn was busy virtue signaling about America's supposed oppression under President Trump's leadership, her international competitors were in the rink putting in the work.
Go Woke, Go Broke – Even on Ice
The irony is thick enough to skate on. Here's an athlete representing the United States on the world stage, yet she spent her time before the games trashing the very country and administration she's supposed to represent. Did she think her woke credentials would somehow translate into Olympic gold?
Patriots watching at home have to be asking themselves: why are we sending athletes who hate America to represent America? Glenn's performance proves that when you're more focused on political posturing than athletic excellence, you get exactly what you deserve – a one-way ticket to irrelevance.
Meanwhile, President Trump's America First policies continue delivering real results for Americans who actually love this country. While Glenn was crying over her 13th place finish, millions of patriotic Americans were celebrating another day of winning under Trump's leadership.
Maybe next time Team USA will think twice before selecting athletes who spend more time crafting woke tweets than crafting championship performances. America deserves representatives who are proud to wear the red, white, and blue – not embarrassed by it.
What do you think, patriots? Should athletes who trash America even be allowed to represent us on the world stage?
