TOKYO—People were stunned after the U.S. women's soccer team lost to Sweden in the Olympics this week by a score of 3-0—until the team revealed they are boycotting scoring any goals until racism is defeated.

"Yeah, we didn't score any goals against Sweden last night, but that was totally on purpose," said star player and beloved activist Megan Rapinoe. "This isn't the time to score goals—when America is still racist. We totally could have beaten Sweden but we decided as a team that no goals will be scored until complete equality has been achieved in America. Also, we demand a hefty raise."

Onlookers were stunned during the second half of the game when Rapinoe dribbled the ball all the way to Sweden's unprotected goal and whispered "This is for you, people of color," before kicking the ball straight into the air and running headfirst into the goalpost.

"This may be one of the most powerful performances in the history of sports," said Teen Vogue's sportswriter who has never watched sports.

The U.S. Women's team is demanding to remain in the Olympic tournament and promises to continue its streak of zero goals. Inspiring!

If only it was true. They are truly horrible individuals and I hope they lose every single game. They might have the US logo on their jerseys, but they don't represent America.

I wouldn't want to see Rapinoe severely injured to where it affected her regular life but I can truly say if she suffered an injury that ended her soccer career I wouldn't be sad at all. In many ways it would be Karma.

Alex Morgan or Julie Ertz?

Those are the only two other names that I know.

ETA: and I'm a soccer fan, but I haven't watched a minute of women's soccer since Rapinoe started all of this shite.

Funny….how racist is it that they had 0 black starters last World Cup and only 1 black starter on the Olympic squad….

We want to end racism…except when it comes to starters on our squad

Well, we knew that some of the American athletes were going to embarrass themselves and this country.

The Women's soccer team just got the jump on everyone.
