Summary
After waking up to find 'Charlie Kirk' trending on Twitter—with his comments on Simone Biles having received over 5,000,000 views online last night, Charlie takes some time to thoughtfully lay out his argument as to why Simone Biles is not someone Americans should be looking up to as a sports hero. Further, he ties it all into a larger theme that everyone is missing about the dangerous direction this Coddle Culture is dragging America and what it means for athletics, geopolitics, the culture wars, and so much more.
