That's kind of my gripe about people's disdain for US women's national soccer team. It's always "they" when talking about how unpatriotic and unAmerican the team is.
There are a ton of younger players on that team now that weren't on the roster when Rapinoe and company started the attention whoring politically.
You know its not mandatory a player plays for the national team. Had all the pro American players bandex together and turned them down when offered and said “I want to play soccer and not get into politics this I must decline due to the toxic nature of the team”. Maybe then changes would have been made.
But nope - every one of them took the almighty dollar over country and pride knowing full well what they got into. I can’t and won’t feel sorry for any of them.

In fairness, would you turn down an opportunity to play in the Masters or the World Series or the Super Bowl?

So unless the entire team holds the same political viewpoints, you have no pride or love of country?
This board is wild.

The WC comes every 4 years. A player would be lucky to included on only 3 of them. So time really isnt on your side to do that. To play for your country is the highest honor and I am sure most of the womens players would agree with that. So, I understand why all the players said yes
