U.S. Women's Soccer Team Still Insufferably Obnoxious

Much of the US women's soccer team remained silent during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner at Friday's World Cup opener in New Zealand, prompting critics to excoriate players over a perceived lack of patriotism.
Before beating Vietnam, 3-0, to open Group E play, six of 11 starting players opted against placing their hands over their hearts, instead keeping their arms at their sides or behind their backs. Meanwhile, five others did put their hands on their hearts, including three — Julie Ertz, Alyssa Naeher and Lindsey Horan — who also sang the national anthem lyrics.
The Vietnamese women, on the other hand, were all seen singing their anthem with their hands on their chests.
Critics have continued to keep an eye on the US women's behavior during the anthem after former team captain Megan Rapinoe knelt in protest of racist police brutality beginning in 2016.
Rapinoe, now playing in her final World Cup, also said in 2019 that she would 'never put my hand over my heart' and 'never sing the national anthem again.'

I hope they lose. Sorry to those 6 that showed patriotism.

Go Netherlands.

As much as I can’t stand them. This is dumb and grasping for straws

Should have DQ'd her from the national team.
Period.
You hate your country? Fine. That's your right.
But you don't merit the privilege of wearing the badge.

News flash. No one gives a shite about women’s soccer.

I can tell you few if any people I know will be tuning in. I can't think of anyone in my immediate family, extended family or dozens of friends who watch soccer.

The dozens that watched will be outraged.

19th Amendment is neck and neck with 16th and 17th for worst Amendments to the Constitution.

Fifa won't allow them to wear the rainbow jerseys, and there are no penis owners allowed on the team.

That is the point. If they didn’t make the Rapino chick the face of their team and act like ungrateful trash maybe a majority of the population would want to see them win. With Rapino on the team I can give a shite less what they do!

That the market demand for their product is a minuscule fraction of what the market demand is for men's soccer.
