A Disaster of Olympian Proportions
By Christopher Skeet
Is it wrong that I'm rooting for the U.S. Women's National Team to lose, and humiliatingly so, this Olympics?
Of course it's not wrong. The USWNT, led by America's favorite histrionic Megan Rapinoe, protested against racism and discrimination by taking the knee before their first Olympic match. Though the stadium was empty (certainly nothing new to the USWNT), the attending "reporters" revived each other with smelling salts to swoon and gape at the unparalleled fortitude exhibited by these privileged virtue-signalers in what was dubbed a "social justice reckoning".
I find soccer thoroughly unwatchable and, if forced to choose, I'd rather do something less painful like chew broken glass. But I won't deny being smugly satisfied to read that the USWNT got massacred by Sweden. And there are a few other athletes for whose wokism I'm hoping ends in face plants:
GWEN BERRYApparently, there's a sport called hammer throwing, and Gwen Berry excels at it. Unfortunately, hammer throwing doesn't draw the crowds that swimming and gymnastics does. In fact, had Berry not turned her back and disrespected the U.S. national anthem, most people would never have heard of her.
After the sought-after backlash, Berry parroted the usual yard sign witticisms about how the anthem doesn't represent her, and about how she wants America to "be good to everybody, and not just for the elite or the white supreme." It's hard to believe that anyone who gets corporate sponsorship for playing with hammers sincerely feels themselves oppressed in any way, shape, or form. This is simply her "look at me" moment, and it's not about anything except her own ego.
