U.S. Women’s Soccer Takes A Knee For BLM And Gets Brutally Defeated In Olympic Opener

The Number one ranked U.S. women’s soccer team lost their Tokyo Olympic opener 3-0 to Sweden on Wednesday after all 22 athletes took a knee in support of Black Lives Matter before the game.

Megan Rapinoe and company looked like a shadow of the team that won the World Cup two years ago as they were dominated by the Swedes, who scored their first goal after twenty-five minutes and kept possession of the ball for 60% of the game. 

The crushing defeat ended the U.S. team’s 44-game unbeaten streak of 40 wins and four draws, which stretched back to January 2019, when they lost 3-1 to France. 

American critics online seemed thrilled by the loss after their “woke” display of protest at the beginning of the game. “Maybe less activism and more practice next time,” snarked political commentator Lauren Chen.

“Disgraceful & ungrateful. Always all about them—their woke brands are joke brands,” tweeted Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.  

Babylon Bee mocked the team with satirical headlines about the game. “Inspiring: US Women’s Soccer Team To Boycott Scoring Goals Until Racism Is Defeated,” one read. Another headline claimed, “To Improve Olympic Chances, US Women’s Soccer Team Replaced By 15-Year-Old Boys Team In Wigs.”

Writer Logan Hall pointed out that the team might want to change their strategy. “Imagine the impact a patriotic top professional athlete could have right now. Huge untapped market for that,” he posted. “Naturally, fans start rooting against teams that hate the country they’re supposed to represent. A little patriotism goes a long way.”

One Twitter user summed the game up simply: “I can’t stop laughing – I hope they lose again.”

First they lost their pride, then their fans, then respect and now the drive to win. Along the way, their home nation stopped watching.

Jim, sadly it would because the DEMORATS and disgusting liberal media would play it to the hilt and make every true American vote them all out of office and make their ratings so miserable even the liberal sponsors will quit paying.

You might be right. But these idiots hated PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP so much they might have even acted worse, if that’s possible.
makes you wonder where allegedly intelligent humans (I use that term loosely) come up with these concepts that they so vehemently espouse.
I guess we really have been invaded by a sinister force bent on destroying our country. Hey, isn’t that treason?

So taking a knee means, in your tiny mind, those who do so HATE THE USA! Where the fuck do you get that? Maybe they just don’t want people killed just because they are black. You probably think those who take the vaccine also hate the USA because they are giving up their “god-given freedom”

You don’t get the point. The kneeling disrespects our country. If you want to protest do it on the streets. I watch sports to get rid of this BS. The kneeling turns off lots of people and yet to me they are showing they hate what the flag stands for.
BLM does nothing for the black community. They keep the money for themselves and loot and destroy property especially in the black community. Race relations have gotten so bad under the new “woke” movement.

Nobody gets killed because they are black unless it’s the scourge of black on black crime you idiot. By a substantial margin many more white people are shot by law enforcement. Review the FBI stats. You’ll never hear that on your beloved FAKE NEWS.
oh, and by the way you might think of us as having tiny minds, but your stupidity shows the infinitely small size of yours.
and if you want to change your misconstrued ideas, maybe you should try to change the way you vote. You morons can’t see what the Democratic Party is doing to my country. (Obviously not yours) . Your perverted ideology that accepts murdering babies, satin, homosexuality, and any other strange and unusual behavior including destroying the constitution, and converting this great land to socialism. I consider you a traitor, and all traitors must hang.

If BLM really cared about Blacks being killed, they should be in Chicago or Baltimore protesting Black on Black killings. They are a Marxist organization that could care less about Black people. And yes, they do hate America and these women by supporting their agenda on the global stage show hatred to the very country that gave them this opportunity. America is the only country that fought a war for Black people to be free and where hundreds of thousands of mostly White men died to make it so. And I took the vaccine but I would never “make” anyone take it and if you can’t see that that is wrong to do so, as yes this is a free country, then you really don’t understand what America is all about nor why so many others from many countries want to come to America. They certainly aren’t clamoring to get into Africa, China, Russia, Venezuela or Cuba. They want to come to a country where freedom to be stupid like these women won’t get you jailed or killed.

What is wrong with you!?!?!? Are you really as stupid as you sound!?!?! Of course taking a knee is disrespectful to this country! A select few Americans have an opportunity to participate on an international stage in a sport they love and this team decides to disrespect their country by respecting a group like BLM?!?! They were sent to the Olympics to participate in the games, not to express a political view.. SHAME ON THEM!

Agreed, after seeing them disrespect our country and anthem not to mention soccer that is what they deserve. Personally, I hope you lose all of your games. However, that would just punish other women’s soccer teams in our country. So better idea, take your disrespectful asses and go play soccer for some other country e.g. Russia, China, Africa, Venezuela, etc. Maybe they will allow you to trash their country but most likely they would make you apologize for your actions or worse.

I used to take a lot of pride in the U.S. teams, going back to the days of Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, et al. Always rooted for them heartily. Never thought I would feel this way, but the current team does not represent this Country. They are an embarrassment and a disgrace. I am soooo glad Sweden kicked their butts. May the Kiwis, and everybody else, do likewise.

I used to watch sports to escape reality for a little while now professional athletes don’t need us anymore making the salaries they receive. I couldn’t hardly wait for NFL season to start now I don’t even watch with them kneeling during our national anthem and them being WOKE. Time to really wake up in this country kaperdick was no longer a good quarterback so decided to kneel to promote his racist ideas guess what he still doesn’t have a job in the nfl lol. USA is not a racist country and if you don’t like it leave to paradise wherever that is. WHY do you think people from all over the world wanted to live here if this country is so horrible. I am going to piss off a lot of people when I also say George Floyd is no hero just a career criminal who yes died wrongly but that being said I don’t think the police were called because he was attending church service. I am not a racist and neither is our GREAT country do you know protesters in other great countries per you would put you in jail or worse for what you are doing. If you truly hate this country please leave. God bless the USA

I’m glad they lost and I hope their future is full of failure, They do not deserve the respect and support of the American people. Personally I want to invite each one them to pack their shit and leave. You don’t love America and America don’t love you either. So just go away and be a ungrateful loser somewhere else. Most of them are pathetic lesbians trying to make a point that has nothing to do with them, and let’s be very clear absolutely NO ONE CARES what they think. NO ONE!!!!!!!!

In the America all Patriots love, consequences have actions. These Idiots Will be laughed at for a nice long time and it will serve them right when they loose any sponsorships that they had. Clowns like this will never see the error of their ways and will place the blame on True Americans for somehow spoiling their day in the sun. Convoluted logic like the one displayed at the Olympic Games have no place in competition. If they want to display the moronic ideologies that plague their psychological development, they should do it on their own time with their own money. Not at the expense of the viewing populace. I have no sympathy for their loss, in actuality they didn’t represent the USA but just themselves. The ( woke ) movement is more like a bowel movement and it will eventually get them flushed down the toilet of history.
