The ugly Americans of soccer

. . . "The ball, as they say, is in the U.S. Women’s National Team court. Will they find humility in their win, or continue to serve themselves (and a radical Leftist agenda)?"

The Slammer

US National team: from: ‘for God and country’ to: self, political ideology and sexual proclivity  . . . "The USWNT victory could (should) have been a victory for the US, and for US women’s (and girls’) soccer. Megan Rapinoe, through her selfish antics, her hatred for Donald Trump and the plurality of citizens who support our President, and her insistence that her being homosexual was integral to our teams’ success, ruined what otherwise might have been a great opportunity for the women’s game."
. . . "The President took the high-road in their victory, by tweeting;

Congratulations to the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team on winning the World Cup! Great and exciting play. America is proud of you all!

Ugly Americans: US Women’s Soccer Embarrasses the Country With Their Petty Displays, Cursing at the President, and Stomping on US Flag

The Ugly Americans of soccer

. . . Like all things suffused in political correctness these days, the girls don't seem to feel joy in the simple act of playing soccer.  Rather, they seem intent on winning as some kind of vendetta against the world in general and America in particular.  This accounts for the mean edge that cuts through their statements, actions, and post-goal or post-game celebrations.
Well, girls, you didn't make me love soccer this year, but you sure made me dislike each and every one of your very ugly American profiles in pomposity.  And you made it all look so easy.  Michael James

 For some the United States flag is a revered symbol of the greatest nation on earth. For others it is a prop to be thrown away when not wanted for the cameras. Put U.S. soccer player Allie Long in the latter category.

"In their first game the US women’s team stomped on the women from Thailand 13-0 and rubbed it in their faces."

"In a later match against England US soccer star Alex Morgan mocked the Brits by pretending to drink tea after a goal."Somewhere in France today, a group of ugly American female soccer players are sipping tea from imaginary cups to mock a polite society they make no efforts to understand or respect.  The Americans are loud and ostentatious.  They are ugly Americans personified. Michael James

The Fox broadcast caught a player holding a flag, letting it drag on the ground before dropping it altogether.

National Review: The U.S. Women Are Winners, Not Victims  . . . "It has been reported that the U.S. women’s team has been generating more game revenue than the U.S. men the past couple of years. This is telling, although not quite in the way that those who allege pay discrimination think. The women are celebrities and cultural heroes, winners of four Olympic gold medals and four World Cups. The men are nobodies who failed to qualify for last year’s World Cup. Yet from 2016 to 2018, according to the Wall Street Journal, the women barely out-earned the men, $50.8 million to $49.9 million."  . . .
