Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time for donkey of the day. I'm a big boy. I could take it if you feel I deserve it ain't no big deal I know Charlemagne and God gonna have some funny shit to say out his mouth. If I say something you may not agree with doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's at the breakfast club bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day but like I mean no harm. Yes donkey of the day for Wednesday August 7thth, goes to American Olympic gymnast Mikayla Skinner.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Mikayla is a former teammate of Simone Biles. And back in June, Mikayla said, besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't what it used to be, in reference to the women's gymnastics team. You know, just notice, like, I mean, obviously, a lot of girls don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Can we hear that clip, please? But besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't, like, what it used to be. Just notice, like, I mean, obviously, a lot of girls don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic. Like, and it's hard, too, because it's a safe sport. Like, coaches can't get on athletes, and they have to be really careful what they say, which in some ways is really good. But at the same time, to get to where you need to be in gymnastics, you do have to be,
Starting point is 00:01:11 I feel like, a little aggressive and a little intense. Now, she has since deleted that video, but I am sure the young ladies on that team, including Simone, didn't like that. Hell, the coaches probably didn't like it either, okay? I understand she said besides Simone, but Simone is like, these are still my teammates. I'm still going to ride for them. So Simone Biles on IG posted a series of photos of the 2024 U.S.
Starting point is 00:01:36 women's gymnastics team after they won gold, and her caption was, lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions. Drop on the clues bombs for Simone Biles. Success is always the best clap back, okay? Success is always the best revenge. Oh, we don't have work ethic? The talent isn't what it used to be? Watch this.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Now, if you ask me, I don't even think Simone Biles is talking directly to Mikayla. I'm sure the U.S. women's gymnastics team had a lot of critics, and if Simone was really being petty, she could have quoted Michaela directly, okay? But a hit dog will holler, and social media is gonna make sure that dog gets hit, because after Simone put that post up, I guess social media did what it does, and that's start to tag Michaela to remind her of what she said, and let her know Simone finally responded by bringing home the gold. Okay, well, Michaela turned into my Karen. Okay, and my Karen became the victim,
Starting point is 00:02:29 and she asked Simone to put a stop to the cyberbullying she is experiencing after Simone's post. Can we hear what she had to say? Unfortunately, things have really gotten out of hand lately, and it's one thing to disagree with me regarding something I have said, but it's something else entirely when that turns into cyberbullying or even worse. Watching people cheer on the bullying which has led to threats of physical harm to me, my husband, and our daughter is disgusting. Please, at this point, I am just asking for it to just stop for the sake of my family because enough is enough. If Simone truly believes that I called our team lazy
Starting point is 00:03:14 and lacking talent, and if that's really how she feels, I am really heartbroken over it. But that's what she said. The other thing, why do people do that if Simone feels like I said that you said that see here's the thing Michaela uh or McCarron you are you are an athlete all right former athlete you competed at the highest levels you understand how criticism works let's just say the U.S. women's gymnastics team didn't do well at this year's Olympics everyone would have went to your original comments and they would have said see Let's just say the U.S. women's gymnastics team didn't do well at this year's Olympics. Everyone would have went to your original comments and they would have said, see, Michaela is correct.
Starting point is 00:03:53 They don't have work ethic. They don't have the talent and depth they used to. They would have been repeating your comments over and over to the team on social media. Michaela, would you have called that cyberbullying? See, that's the problem with rhetoric and words. If you're going to dish it you have to be able to take it okay when you offer opinions about others one or two things are going to happen either you're going to be right or you're going to be wrong either people are going to agree or disagree in the case of something like this Michaela gave an opinion that at the time some people could either agree or disagree with but it was up to the U.S. women's gymnastics team
Starting point is 00:04:22 to prove Michaela, and they did. Okay? And now that she's been proven wrong, she got to deal with that. Simple. Now she's asking for Simone's help. Can we listen to that one? I am asking you directly and publicly to please put a stop to this. Please ask your followers to stop.
Starting point is 00:04:43 You have been an incredible champion for mental health awareness and a lot of people need your help now don't make this about Simone Biles and what she needs to make stop first of all it's never going to stop now social media is cutthroat business a bunch of sharks in the water when they they smell blood, they coming. You got online pleading with these heathens. You think that they're going to listen to you? No. You think they're going to stop if Simone Biles tells them to? No.
Starting point is 00:05:12 They're going to go harder. But the moral of the story is you bought this on yourself. The best way to not have your peace disturbed is to not disturb the peace of others. So don't put this on Simone. Don't make it seem like Simone is bothering you or causing people to bully you. No. Okay. Technically you bothered them first and you were wrong. They proved you wrong. So you have to deal with everything that comes with that. Please give Michaela Skinner the sweet sounds and the hammer tones You are the Donkey Of the
Starting point is 00:05:47 Day You are the Donkey Of the Day Yee-haw Alright Why do people do that? I don't know
