Woke Olympics

 This year’s Olympics was one of the strangest, most disquieting Olympics since the 1972 Olympics in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by the Palestinian terrorist group, Black September.  While nothing as wrenching took place this year, the Olympics were bitterly divisive.

For the first time, many Americans rooted against many of their teams and athletes.  Social Media lit up with glee as the favored but hopelessly Woke women’s soccer team, led by the insufferable Queen of Malcontent, Megan Rapinoe, got crushed by Sweden 3-0.   The Canadians then knocked them out of gold medal contention.

The U.S. men’s basketball team, a perennial juggernaut likewise went out with a whimper, losing to France.  Gone are the days of the Dream Team.  Again, the reaction was one of delight.

Similarly, Gwen Berry, another athlete that turned her back on the flag, failed to medal.  Raven Saunders also protested and then twerked for the cameras (although she did medal). 

For the athletes that failed, there was an incredible amount of schadenfreude and contempt in the air for them and their disrespect for the country.   It seems as though these athletes decided to turn their backs on their country and their countrymen returned the favor.  It was a most disturbing thing.

The strangest turn of events was the New Zealand transgender weightlifter, Laurel Hubbard, who competed in the women’s events though she was a biological male.  While the “breaking barriers” media crown swooned, much of the saner world stood perplexed as the Woke IOC opened the door to the destruction of women’s sports.

In the end, Hubbard failed to medal and in an almost comically embellished performance failed to snatch a weight that she should have easily handled.  She smiled and left the stage, almost as if it had been scripted to fail.  Indeed, several knowledgeable people, familiar with the sport were convinced that she took a dive so that the Woke crowd could say, “See, transgender athletes do not automatically have an insurmountable advantage.”

One of the few bright spots was Tamyra Mensah-Stock, winner of the gold medal in women’s wrestling.  Her beaming smile lit us all up as she draped herself in the American flag and proclaimed how proud she was to wrestle for the United States.

Meanwhile, viewer ratings of the Olympics dropped by nearly 50% and Subway franchisees are pushing Subway to drop pickle puss Rapinoe as their spokesperson.  Rapinoe whined that Trump was rooting against the U.S. women’s team.

I hate to break this to Megan, but a lot of us were rooting against you.

Because you root against us.  It’s a mutual thing.
