We've seen over time that few people on X are more insufferable than Keith Olbermann.
His descent from being on networks like ESPN and MSNBC to doing a podcast has been a hard fall for him; he's such a bitter character.
Now, all he has is that and posting on X. He has threatened to quit the social media platform, but he can't seem to let it go.
But when he decided to comment on the decision in the UPenn case, he bit off more than he could chew.
The University of Pennsylvania agreed to restore all individual Division I records and titles to female athletes who "lost" to biological male athletes like Lia Thomas and send a personalized apology letter to each of those swimmers, the Education Department said. They also agreed they would not allow men to compete in female athletics.

People who support women think that's a great result. But that's not how the execrable Olbermann responded, as our sister site Twitchy reported. He decided it was time to take a shot at Riley Gaines who fought so hard for women's rights.
Wanted to congratulate Whiny Gaines on now being able to say she finished tied for FOURTH not tied for FIFTH in the Lia Thomas race

He said he "[w]anted to congratulate Whiny Gaines on now being able to say she finished tied for FOURTH not tied for FIFTH" in the race with Lia Thomas.
Gaines then demolishes him with a big, polite reality check. She even thanks him.
Thank you! And while you’re keeping track, make sure to congratulate Emma Weyant, the right National Champ in the 500 freestyle, too.

(If you're insinuating 5th in the nation is bad, what do you call a man who ranks 462nd nationally in the men's category?) https://t.co/liCRPraFQD

Unlike Olbermann, Gaines is secure. She's fighting for a greater principle, not like Olbermann who's just trying to take cheap potshots and hating on anything he thinks is on the "other side." The fact that he's so upset that a woman stood up for herself and others says something about how twisted he is.
While Gaines has been fighting and winning for women, Keith has just been a sad presence on X.
It is grossly ironic that one of the meanest, nastiest people around proudly rides his moral high horse thinking he has a shred of moral credibility. You genuinely bask in a consuming, smug hatred. How could you possibly think you help yourself with such bile? https://t.co/KRlSrdgj0U

Olbermann proves, yet again, there are still 'men' who don't have to lose a single male appendage to be totally emasculated by a real woman. https://t.co/RVFtRigV2c
