- 0:19Speaker 2: But like I mean, no harm. Yes, donkey today for Wednesday,
- 0:23Speaker 2: August seventh goes to American Olympic gymnast Mikaela Skinner. Michaela
- 0:29Speaker 2: is a former teammate of Siman Bows and back in June,
- 0:32Speaker 2: Michaela said, besides Simone, I feel like the talent and
- 0:34Speaker 2: the death just isn't what it used to be in
- 0:37Speaker 2: reference to the women's gymnastics team. You know, just notice,
- 0:40Speaker 2: like I mean, obviously a lot of girls don't work
- 0:43Speaker 2: as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Can we hear that clip please?
- 0:46Speaker 3: But besides Simone, I feel like the talent in the
- 0:51Speaker 3: depth just isn't like what.
- 0:52Speaker 1: It used to be.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Just noticed, like I mean, Obviously a lot of girls
- 0:56Speaker 3: don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the
- 0:58Speaker 3: work ethic like and it's hard too because of safe
- 1:00Speaker 3: sport like coaches can't get on athletes and they have
- 1:04Speaker 3: to be really careful what they say, which in some
- 1:06Speaker 3: ways is really good. But at the same time, to
- 1:08Speaker 3: get to where you need to be in gymnastics, you
- 1:10Speaker 3: do have to be I feel like a little aggressive
- 1:13Speaker 3: and a little intense.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Now she has since deleted that video, but I am
- 1:20Speaker 2: sure the young ladies on that team, including Simone, didn't
- 1:23Speaker 2: like that. Hell, the coaches is right. I didn't like
- 1:25Speaker 2: it either. Okay, I understand, she said. Besides Simon, but
- 1:28Speaker 2: Simone is like, these still my teammates. I'm still gonna
- 1:30Speaker 2: ride for them. So Simon biles on Ig posted a
- 1:33Speaker 2: series of photos of the twenty twenty four US women's
- 1:36Speaker 2: gymnastics team after they won gold, and her caption was
- 1:40Speaker 2: lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions, drop on the clues
- 1:44Speaker 2: bombs for some more boos. Success is always the best
- 1:48Speaker 2: clap back. Okay, success is always the best revenge. Oh,
- 1:52Speaker 2: we don't have work ethic. The talent isn't what it
- 1:54Speaker 2: used to be watch this now. If you ask me,
- 1:58Speaker 2: I don't even think some more Bibles is talking directly
- 2:00Speaker 2: to Michaela. I'm sure the US women's gymnastics team had
- 2:02Speaker 2: a lot of critics, and if Simon was really being petty,
- 2:05Speaker 2: she could have quoted Michaela directly. Okay, but a hit
- 2:08Speaker 2: dog will hollow and social media is going to make
- 2:11Speaker 2: sure that dog gets hit. Because after Simone put that
- 2:14Speaker 2: post up, I guess social media did what it does,
- 2:17Speaker 2: and that's start to tag Michaela to remind her of
- 2:19Speaker 2: what she said and let her know. Simone finally responded
- 2:22Speaker 2: by bringing home the gold. Okay. Well, Michaela turned into
- 2:26Speaker 2: my Karen okay, and mcaren became the victim and she
- 2:29Speaker 2: asked Simone to put a stop to the cyber bullying
- 2:31Speaker 2: she is experiencing. After Simone's post, can we hear what
- 2:34Speaker 2: she had to say?
- 2:36Speaker 1: Unfortunately, things have really gotten out of hand lately. And
- 2:40Speaker 1: it's one thing to disagree with me regarding something I
- 2:44Speaker 1: have said, but it's something else entirely when that turns
- 2:48Speaker 1: into cyber bullying, or even worse, watching people cheer on
- 2:54Speaker 1: the bullying, which has led to threats of physical harm
- 2:58Speaker 1: to me. My husband and our daughter. Is disgusting. Please
- 3:04Speaker 1: at this point, I am just asking for it to
- 3:07Speaker 1: just stop for the sake of my family, because enough
- 3:10Speaker 1: is enough. If Simone truly believes that I called our
- 3:14Speaker 1: team lazy and lacking talent, and if that's really how
- 3:18Speaker 1: she feels, I am really heartbroken over it.
- 3:22Speaker 2: That's what she said. He the thing like, why do
- 3:27Speaker 2: people do that? If Simone feels like I said that,
- 3:29Speaker 2: you said that? He Here's the thing, MICHAELA or mcaren.
- 3:34Speaker 2: You are an athlete, all right, former athlete. You competed
- 3:37Speaker 2: at the highest levels. You understand how criticism works. Let's
- 3:40Speaker 2: just say the US women's gymnastics team didn't do well
- 3:43Speaker 2: at this year's Olympics. Everyone would have went to your
- 3:47Speaker 2: original comments and they would have said, see, MICHAELA is correct.
- 3:50Speaker 2: They don't have work ethic, they don't have the talent
- 3:52Speaker 2: and depth they used to. They would have been repeating
- 3:54Speaker 2: your comments over and over to the team on social media. MICHAELA.
- 3:59Speaker 2: What you have called that cyber bullying. See, that's the
- 4:02Speaker 2: problem with rhetoric and words. If you're going to dish it,
- 4:05Speaker 2: you have to be able to take it okay. When
- 4:07Speaker 2: you offer opinions about others. One or two things are
- 4:10Speaker 2: gonna happen. Either you're gonna be right, are you gonna
- 4:12Speaker 2: be wrong? Either people are gonna agree or disagree. In
- 4:15Speaker 2: the case is something like this, Michaela gave an opinion
- 4:17Speaker 2: that at the time some people could either agree or
- 4:20Speaker 2: disagree with. But it was up to the US Women's
- 4:22Speaker 2: gymnastics team to prove Mikaela wrong and they did. Okay,
- 4:26Speaker 2: And now that she's been proven wrong, she gotta deal
- 4:29Speaker 2: with that simple. Now she's asking for some moone's help.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Can we listen to that one?
- 4:34Speaker 1: I am asking you directly and publicly to please put
- 4:39Speaker 1: a stop to this. Please ask your followers to stop.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You have been an incredible champion for mental health awareness
- 4:48Speaker 1: and a lot of people need your help.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Now, don't make this about Simone Bows and what she
- 4:57Speaker 2: needs to make stop. First of all, it's never gonna
- 4:59Speaker 2: stop now. Social media is cut through business. A bunch
- 5:02Speaker 2: of shocks in the water. When they smell blood, they coming.
- 5:04Speaker 2: You got online pleading with these heathens. You think that
- 5:07Speaker 2: they're gonna listen to you. No, you think they're gonna stop.
- 5:10Speaker 2: If some mong biles tells them to know they gonna
- 5:13Speaker 2: go harder. But the moral of the story is you
- 5:15Speaker 2: bought this on yourself. The best way to not have
- 5:18Speaker 2: your piece disturbed is to not disturb the piece of others.
- 5:21Speaker 2: So don't put this on Simon. Don't make it seem
- 5:24Speaker 2: like Smoane is bothering. You are causing people to bully you. No, okay,
- 5:29Speaker 2: technically you bothered them first and you were wrong. They
- 5:34Speaker 2: proved you wrong, so you have to deal with everything
- 5:37Speaker 2: that comes with that. Please give michaela skinner the sweets
- 5:41Speaker 2: out to the Hamilton you. Oh oh the day?
- 5:57Speaker 3: Ye all right?
- 6:02Speaker 2: Why do people do that? I don't know, I don't know.
- 6:07Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey of the Day.
