Why do you hate America?So to sum up...is there a photo or video of the team or members of the team stomping on an American flag? If there is and we can all see it, by all means, shit on the team as that would be incredibly stupid and offensive. But if there's not, then why was that claim made and why hasn't anyone provided proof yet? If you want a Sunday afternoon right wing grrrr politics thread, why create one when there's already an ongoing thread for that?
I asked for proof. I've yet to see it.
One of my favorite movies is Point Break. Can't get more American than that.Why do you hate America?
I don’t recognize the USWNT as an American team. The majority of players on their team hate America. So piss on them.They lost because they weren’t good enough. Lacked any goal scoring prowess, some key players hurt, and no one stepped to be a star. That’s key takeaway, you will not remember one player positively.
Never go against the family, like Michael Corleone said. You may not like them but they were ours. Always was rooting for them. was I rooting for some over others? Sure, but not at expense of winning.
I sure am glad we have you to keep us straight!It's possible the team just isn't that good and it has nothing to do with politics. Or maybe they are good but lost which occasionally happens in sports, and that has nothing to do with politics either. Regardless, I enjoy the angry online tradition of hating athletes for voicing any political opinion (unless it's Enes or Gaines of course)...while voicing your own political opinion at the same time. It's like the internet created a make-believe law that Joe the Plumber can say anything but certain athletes must shut their mouths and entertain us at all times. Good stuff.
And fwiw, this thread will now become a political bitchfest...while bitching about a team losing and somehow blaming it on politics. Ya'll are cracked and have completely lost the plot.

They didn’t stomp on it, a player stupidly dropped it on the ground, another picked it up. Rapinoe may have accidentally stepped on part of it, was hard to see, But it looked like she didn’t even know it was on the ground. Now I have to go shower myself for taking up for Rapinoe.If I was savvy enough to post it, it would. You can simply google it and you will find all the information you need. One of the players, to her credit, took the flag away from them.
I always think I'm the sensible one when I disagree with the viewpoint of others, too. Narcissists unite!Being sensible > doing a fake anger bit performance for the internet, as we see often.
Not one of the better USWNT. Did they underperform, yes. Were they head and shoulders above the competition? Not even close. Then you throw in an unlikeable and ungrateful loud-mouth like Rapinoe and it's easy to see why people were down on this team for many reasons. Andonovski was also a questionable choice to lead the team. The USWNT was basically a mess going in and it showed in the result.
Not for nothing, buuut you did troll a Barbie thread and went after a poster's wife in said thread until others told you to stop. If you're attacking people's wives online, in a thread about a silly movie no less, maybe I ain't the ridiculous one here. You don't get internet cool points for out of bounce stuff like that.Based on the replies, I guess nightwish is back in his/hers/their basement to ruin another thread.
Sure is a lot of people cheering for USA losing while claiming to be pro-America 🤔
Yet I bet you’ll gladly vote for Trump again in 2024 if he gets the nomination…Yup, cheering for anti america soccer players is easy to do. Why would you cheer for them if you’re pro american?

It's the hypocrisy of the left. They are what they hate.I love the fact someone like me is accused of making everything political, when the thing I despise about these things is the fact they have become political.
I love all sports and watch as well as participate as much as I possibly can. My love for it dies when players and teams insert politics. I wish things were FAR less political.
Appreciate this. I won't get into the other stuff in your post, but I figured someone was misinformed or just lying since I got the typical "look it up yourself pal...then you'll see I'm right!" response. I'm aware of political statements that were made in the past, which yes, were cringy imo, but it's also cringy to "celebrate" any loss by Americans, simply because they don't like the guy you voted for. It's short-sightedness from both sides and pure tribalism.This tale of stomping the flag is part of Patriot
Storytelling Hour. I had never heard the story and a quick internet search revealed the Women's Team was celebrating the World Cup Final win with the flag, the flag hit the ground and many players were unaware. One player then picked up the flag.
This story was ultimately greatly exaggerated and sensationalized because some players refused to visit the Orange Man in the White House.
The Kid Rock Gang are still butthurt about it to this day.
Based on character alone how could anyone cheer for this team?
Time to move on and bring the next group of players that deserve to be on the team.
Representing the USA in international competition is a privilege and a lot of the players on this team forgot that part.
Because their political views don't affect my personal spirit for my country?? Not sure what they are trying to prove when they don't sing the national anthem, but at the same time why would I care about their values--they represented America in the biggest sport in the world, so for me at least, country > politicsYup, cheering for anti america soccer players is easy to do. Why would you cheer for them if you’re pro american?

Maybe internal soccer politics as a top 5 all time US player, but not actual politics.Another thing to add is politics is the ONLY reason Rapinoe was part of the team and taking that PK. So their politics were a direct cause of their failure.
I don't disagree. I still don't why their values would impact my values. Cheering against them seems like doing what they are doing.The country > politics should apply to those tasked to represent our country. Those who use this as a platform to disrespect our flag and country should not be representing us. It’s an embarrassment and most other countries would not stand for that.
Heck, I play on a few sports teams sponsored by my employer. If I publicly disrespected them, I’d be fired in a heartbeat.

Apparently we were supposed to cheer for Brittany griner and Colin kaperneck tooYup, cheering for anti america soccer players is easy to do. Why would you cheer for them if you’re pro american?
Rapinoe was a shell of her former self, but she was on the team for her set piece delivery, ironically PKs, and passing creativity. It's amazing how bad she was, but I'm sure the coach believed in her due to her past performances with the national team (and like I said top 5 all time US player). Same could be said for Ertz, Morgan and a host of other older legacy players on the team.Wrong, if “she” weren’t an outspoken political figure, she would have never been part of this team. Simple fact.
Explain please. What actions/statements have they made that leads you to question why anyone would cheer for this team as a whole? The "stomping" on the flag story has already been debunked. Is this really just down to hating them because they don't like Trump or have criticized America in the past? We've got posters upset with this team that put America on blast daily and pretend it's an awful place simply because their guy isn't in charge. So I'll ask for more proof - what have these players said/done to make you question why anyone would cheer the team on?Based on character alone how could anyone cheer for this team?
Exactly what I thought as well. Remind me how this got to be the world's most popular sport again?Two straight 0-0 games ought to really help their ratings.
It can be fun to watch if the teams are any good…Exactly what I thought as well. Remind me how this got to be the world's most popular sport again?
I know right?I knew I'd see a lot of strange takes regarding the women's team losing.
Why don't you support them?I know right?
Shocking some people still support them
Why don’t you stop playing dumb…Why don't you support them?
