Enjoy this tweet about Keith Olbermann from eleven years ago, before Riley Gaines sacrifices Keith Olbermann’s remaining dignity on the altar of content. Keithums’ firing from MSNBC and the start of his brave fight to regain his credibility have passed a year.

Today’s drama begins with Gaines mocking a state lawmaker for not knowing the term “lady.” Even worse, there is a purportedly female senator! You’re likely familiar with Riley’s story, as everyone at Louder with Crowder Dot Com is a fan. She is a former collegiate swimming champion who is now an advocate for women’s rights. She speaks out to discourage male competitors impersonating female athletes from snatching opportunities in women’s sports.

The conflict started when Olbermann responded to one of Gaines’ X posts, saying Gaines should “address the reality” that she “sucked at swimming” and “that’s why she lost” to Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer who won the Division I championship in 2022.

“Ah, it makes sense now why you got fired from ESPN,” Gaines responded.

Paula Scanlan, one of Thomas’ old Penn colleagues, stepped up to defend Gaines.

“Your political bias blinds you, and dismissive views like yours encourage men to change in front of us,” Scanlan added. “Why don’t you confront the fact that this narrative is invading women’s spaces and harming many of them?” NOTE: This was borrowed.
