Gwen Berry, the hammer thrower who recently was in the controversy about having the anthem played at the U.S. Olympic Trials, has changed her mind. She now hates the flag and stands for the flag. Is she a victim of the "Woke China" school of victimization? Or is this a genuine protest? Or was she set up by the wokeness movement to get attention and sponsorship from Nike and the rest of the liberal media? What is the difference between being a victim and being a patriotic American athlete? What does it really mean to be a "victim" in America these days and why is it so important to become a victim in the culture of "activism"? Is this an act of protest or is it a genuine act of love and respect for her country and her country's flag? What are the chances of her landing a big sponsorship deal from a major company like Nike and what will it mean for her and her future in the Woke China sponsored Olympic Games? What does this mean for the future of activism in sports and activism in general? What will it say about our culture and how we grow as a nation and as a country? What can we do to stand up to the leftist propaganda that is being an activist in the face of racism and oppression? What do we really have in common with the "woke china" movement and what are we really fighting for and what does it all mean to us? ? The answer to all of these questions is... We are all a victim, we are a victim. Let's talk about it! . I hope you enjoy this one, folks! and let's all have a good day! -Tune in to this episode of the pod and see what you think about it. -Jonah Cowardly Gwyneth Paltrow - Jonah Cowell Jonah's new book, "The Sickle" is out now!

00:00:00.000Well guys, I for one am 100% shocked and definitely did not see this coming.
00:00:06.000Apparently, Gwen Berry, you know, the hammer thrower that recently was in the controversy about, you know, playing the anthem because she was set up.
00:00:15.000I mean, the U.S. Olympic Committee that runs the trials had time to set her up with an oppressive thing like Playing the national anthem at an award ceremony because that's never been done and because they obviously had the time to come up with a devious scheme to hurt her feelings.
00:00:42.000Turns out it doesn't seem like Gwen Berry really hated the flag or America all that much until perhaps, I don't know, she went to the Colin Kaepernick School of Victimization.
00:01:19.000She was definitely not protesting simply to get attention for herself and or maybe some of those woke China, Nike, Kaepernick sponsorship dollars.
00:01:32.000This was a 100% legitimate thing and not her partaking in the cottage industry victimization scheme that we have seen so much of these days.
00:02:15.000But again... There's no cottage industry.
00:02:18.000There's no money for those who are willing to just love their country and to represent it and to be proud and to stand for your flag and for your anthem.
00:02:33.000The money is in getting the woke leftist liberal media to highlight you as a victim, as an oppressed entity.
00:02:44.000Activist athlete. That is the category.
00:02:47.000If you're not the best at what you do, if you're not in a sport that pays a lot of money, you too can become really, really, really rich and famous as long as you're an activist.
00:02:58.000As long as you're spreading the leftist propaganda and going against America, you too can do it.
00:03:04.000Because again, I imagine there's not a lot of money in hammer throwing, but there's a lot of money in activism, folks.
00:03:12.000We will see it again and again until we keep calling this stuff out.
00:03:17.000Until we call out the sponsors who will inevitably jump on the bandwagon and try to promote this because they know they can get an athlete for pretty cheap who's going to get a lot of press.
00:03:28.000Think the wokeness was more about cashing in, folks.
00:03:30.000I'm not gonna lie to you. And all you have to do is look at this picture to figure it out, okay?
00:03:35.000This is the difference, the before and the after of what happens when you're just in a normal American education system and what happens when you integrate critical race theory.
00:03:46.000That's what happens. Everyone becomes a victim.
