All I can say to this is WOW. Statements like these genuinely scare me. I fear that we can wake up one day and find ourselves like Rwanda. Nobody believed that nearly a million people could die in 3 months all because of hate but it happened. I fear if we don't take stock something similar or worse can happen. Imagine celebrating someone being diagnosed with a terminal illness!

Love it....Rapinoe and the rest of the self loathing misfits go home devastated...

Notice how the rest of the Worlds athletes are so proud of their countries, they cry during the anthems and are so grateful to represent their home....I admire them.

Wokeness is not American.

The American chuckleheads that take delight in a team from their own country’s teams losing is kind of weird. I guess that any team or person that tries to advocate change in the United States, things like discrimination, becomes a target of said chuckleheads by people that claim to love their country. It seems that the ones that live their country are the ones that are advocating for change and the ones that hate the United States are those that want to silence them and keep up the appearance that discrimination and racism are just a myth.

Americans sure are a curious people…

The knuckleheads are thsoe US athletes that don't appreciate the freedom and oppotunities that our citizens have compared to other countries. Frankly its a sin to complain about living in the richest and most free country in the world and show disrespect. Other countries that are poorer, more oppressed and have little freedom all seem to have athletes that still manage to honor and respect their anthem and flag and not act like circus clowns to the worldwide audience. What is acting like a jerk going to solve except reinforce to the world watching that Americans a bunch of entitled brats that don't appreciate what they have.

Two things are happening at the Olympics that are making the games more competitive than in previous years. First, COVID has meant that there have been fewer competitions leading up to the games and teams have only been able to end a very skeletal contingent of coaches and supporters to the games. This means that powerhouses like the US now have the same sort of lead up to the games as smaller countries and have the same level of coaching and staff at the games as smaller countries. That has been a bit of an equalizer.

Next, foreign countries have fully taken advantage of the opportunities in the US collegiate system. And with soccer, the European club system has finally caught up and is developing top talent on par with the US collegiate system. Prior to the days of the women's pro circuit taking off in Europe, the US collegiate system was dominant in developing top talent. Today, there are many more opportunities for female players to develop in the European club system and they do not have to come to the US for college (but can and still do). So, basically the free ride for US soccer is over.

Yeah baby!!!

Feel the bern, poor wittle leftists.

I have never been happier about a US loss in my life. Tell that knee- taking purple haired activist to take a hike please. The team would have better success without such a self important leader.

I get the vibe she's the mean alpha female and all the other women on the team are afraid of her. I don't mind the purple hair; it's her own style though.

Funny, I get the vibe that there is a lot of incel energy on this particular thread.

You don't get it, do you? These people should not be allowed to represent a country which they disrespect and still choose to live in (because they know living in other countries would be way worse).

Send these US women to Saudi Arabia for a week and they'd be on a knee (ironically) begging to come back to the USA and never hate on anything American again. Maybe they'd tolerate their situation after experiencing real victim hood. The American women are not oppressed. There's nothing easier than being a woman in America. In fact, the most oppressed person in North America is the white man but he will not get sympathy like everyone else because people won't feel sorry. People feel sorry for those who are either real victims or play the victim card--but unfortunately this enables well off people to still develop an automatic victim complex as you see in America.

Yes, it would be much better to celebrate with the image of a severed head:

What’s wrong with wanting your country to be better? Do you think that the United States is perfect? Many of those that you claim that “honor and respect” their anthem would be exiled or dismissed from their national teams if they didn’t. Be lucky that you live in a country that allows free speech and expression. If the United States starts stifling that, you’ll be on a slippery slope.

Racism and discrimination exist in every society. Calling for change is good. In the United States it seemed to become “chic” to call those out that spoke out against discrimination and racism when that Orange baby was your president. When he was the president, racism and discrimination seemed to be OK for many.

Imagine posing with the representative bloody severed head of the POTUS. Imagine, it isn't hard to do - just Google it.

tell that to grant fisher or justin knight's face.

show them how big your brain is.

Canada made the decision to go with younger, faster players . The USA chose the old , tired and slow . Canada is the better team and would beat the USA 9 out of 10 matches .

very true Surrey. The US bowed to the loud voices, and ignored the better athletes.

You're proving my point because her actions were absolutely disgusting and if you think being equally disgusting is the appropriate response, then the exact concern I stated becomes a more likely reality

Love it when losers lose.

Are you kidding? Trump’s election created the woke police and cancel culture. Before him there was an equal (small) amount of racism…after him came the virtue-signaling liberal thought police acting like America was rotten to the core.
