The team wants this country to support them when they won’t support this country. They openly disrespected our country and us while overseas?
Dixie Chicks redux.
When it comes to money soccer is just another business; to have big bucks the business must succeed in making big bucks. If you force the owners to pay out more than the business is making, you destroy the enterprise altogether. Of course, completely destroying a potentially successful business has never deterred the left.
“People who think they are wise because they excel at something unrelated to wisdom are fools.”
Very profound statement by Dennis and it’s relevance to the problems we see on the modern Left cannot be overemphasized.
Central to the modern Left is counterfeit wisdom as the basis of their philosophy and counterfeit moral authority as justification to act on the philosophy to impose that philosophy on those who disagree with them or oppose their agenda.
What follows is a comparative analysis of men and women’s team sports or one on one, face to face competition. Examples would be soccer, football, rugby, baseball, boxing, wrestling, etc. What is not being considered is individual time trial, scored or judged events such as swimming, track and field, golf, gymnastics, etc.
So…..the foundation ancient team sports were related to military training. The training was intended to give the soldiers the best chance of surviving and victory in battle. It included tactics, strategy and physical skills. The tactics included, introducing deception, creating fear, creating unequal advantage, and showing no mercy. These armies were men only. Why?
There is a basic observation that women have a civilizing effect on men when they are present and there is some kind of relationship. If you have ever gone camping or hunting with your buddies leaving the ladies at home, you know what I am talking about. Men’s behavior among men is much “baser” than when women are present. People expect women to be civil and even nurturers. I could discuss the effect of having women alongside men in the military in the context of the above paragraph but that is for another time.
Now, fast forward to sports of today. Team sports allow people to exhibit antisocial war-like behavior under a carefully constructed set of rules. Deception is allowed, overpowering without mercy is allowed, double teaming is allowed, taunting and humiliation is allowed. It seems to me, that this being a setting for a mach war, men are more acceptable in these antisocial roles than women. Why people enjoy watching antisocial behavior is another question.
Somehow the image of a woman linebacker clothes-lining as wide receiver does not play as well as if it is a man doing it to another man (penalty flag aside). What seems natural for a man to be doing is unseemly for a woman to be doing.
This is why I do not watch women’s sports. It is a bunch of women trying to act like men (lesbian or not) and I do not find it entertaining. And the whole sport thing IS only about entertainment.
This country has given her this fantastic right to disrespect it publicly. Try that in Cuba!

“There is one word for the US Women’s Team. Entitled. In 10 years the team will be dominated by biological guys. Fewer people in the world will be watching. And they still will be playing at a high school level. It will be sad when the biological males get paid as much as males that are good at soccer.”

Good point. We are already seeing it in high school and college track. Boys and young men declaring themselves female are winning gold medals that would have otherwise went to females. In team sports such as soccer it will only take one or two of these transgender types to convert a mediocre team into a gold cup winner. It will be interesting to see how this will go down with the ladies when it happens- and it will happen.
A total disgrace. They are free to leave my country, too.
Not one woman on her team stood up to her. Cowards.
The others on the team were afraid. Afraid of being called homophobic, afraid of being called out for causing trouble on the team, afraid of being called out for not supporting the team captain, etc.
Yawn...just a bunch of angry, lesbian, man, and USA haters......perfect demonrats....
Repeat for emphasis.
Add to that the fact that the women’s sports that ARE more popular than the men’s sports are almost all due to sex appeal. Women’s volleyball, both beach and indoors for example. The men play much better but the women just look a whole bunch better.
When we want sports, we watch the men. When we want eye candy, we watch women.
An excellent analogy.
I remember it vividly. The chants of "USA! USA!" were as much a scream of defiance to the smothering institutional acceptance of the victory of communism as "MAGA" is today. Malaise was the order of the day, a term coined by the President we were about to boot out of office, and we co-opted Springsteen's bitter anti-US "Born in the USA" and turned it into an anthem. He still isn't over it, poor baby.
There is a reason for that and it is as old as Scripture: “By their fruits, you shall know them.”
A modern, quick and dirty, basic litmus test for socially justifiable political correctness?
Just ask yourself, “What would Satan do?”Do the opposite and you should be okay.
Then look to the demonrat party for your answer.
Dark to Light!
“Woke” to “Awakened!”
“Not one woman on her team stood up to her. Cowards.”
Yes, sadly for all authentic American women. Just like women pubic school teachers won’t stand up to the NEA...
