If you don't care about the Winter Olympics, that's perfectly fine, but let me tell you why you should care about this story.
So Amber Glenn, a Team USA figure skater, she came in 13th place today.
And it gives me no pleasure to see pictures like this. I want Team USA to win. I want them to succeed.
But Amber Glenn, I think she's so fixated on her own identity,
she hasn't been locked in to what she needs to do at the Olympics.
As I'm sure most of you recall, the second she got over there to Milan, she talked about how she's basically oppressed as a queer person in America.
She's also referred to herself as a "woke bitch" since getting to the Olympics,
and she also says she is pansexual, whatever that means.
She also allegedly had time to send videos back and forth with Madonna. This never used to happen at the Olympics.
When we send you to the Olympics, you're not there to opine on politics and whine about how hard it is in America,
even though we sent you to the Olympics. You're there to work.
You're not on social media, you're not talking about how you're pansexual and woke or all of these things. You are locked in.
Now y'all know I'm the least athletic person on planet Earth, but what I lack in sports knowledge, I make up for in knowledge about human behavior and sociology.
And with a lot of LGBTQIA R2D2 folks, there's a level of narcissism there, self-obsession,
and very often when they hyper-fixate on their identities and trying to figure out who they are,
a mental illness beneath the surface.
You should be at the Olympics locked in doing your job. It's not about wearing the pride flag,
it's not about wearing the pin, it's not about being woke, it's not about being queer. We don't care.
You have to deliver when you get onto the ice and not come in 13th place. This is not what Team USA used to be like.
This is the most bizarre batch we have seen. Folks who want to be social justice warriors
and go viral on social media instead of getting down to brass tacks and delivering and getting on the podium.
I have the utmost respect for so many Olympic athletes over there, and I know some folks are gonna say this is a stretch,
but any psychologist worth their salt will tell you, when a young person, 26, is fixated on their identity,
who they are, so much of their identity is wrapped up in their sexuality, their LGBT orientation,
the fact that they're queer, they have a hard time getting other things done.
And when you add in all the pressure of the Olympics, it's a pressure cooker. It's a perfect storm to come in 13th place
and not have that mental stamina that you need.
This is actually exactly why I figured out who I was at 14 years old, the summer between 8th and 9th grade,
and came out as gay. I was like, "I'm gay. Are we shocked? No. Let's move on."
I needed to put that on the side so I could go ahead, focus on my studies, get out of my town.
I was being bullied. I knew I wanted to be successful in life, and I couldn't do that if I was self-obsessing over my identity
and hemming and hawing going, "Am I poly? Am I pan? Am I non-binary?"
Like a lot of these young people, they sit around hyper-fixated on their identities and then they don't meet the moment when they need to.
You gotta lock in, get that done, and move on.
So Amber Glenn, I'm sorry you lost, but you were skating on thin ice.
I...
All right, I love you guys. Thanks for liking and following. Drop a comment, tell me what you think. I'm gonna talk about this more
on my podcast tomorrow. I will see you then. Bye.
