I am so sorry for all the young girls playing feverishly to become good soccer players and aspire to play in college and then maybe professionally or in the Olympics....

but nobody cares about these soccer women today....young people don't really follow most of these sports like older people and we older people are just sick of all of them..

This is just looking for a reason to get upset.

As are many posts these days on FR. Posts that fuel outrage get the most responses.

The left virtue signals, the right outrage signals.

Because they’re narcissists, they like the glory because it says they’re the best - the country, nah, not so much...

It doesn’t surprise me.

I found it funny that Lionel Messi’s debut with Inter Miami overshadowed the USWNT playing in the Women’s World Cup.

'What motivates them to play for a Nation they hold in such contempt,'

Support the country no matter what? Or does it depend who the president is at the time? Is the country going in a good direction, should that be a good reason to sing proudly?

Playing the national anthem was never a foundation of our country, and Wilson was the bro who brought it out in force. It's a weird tradition to have prior to a commercialized sporting event, and perhaps should be left to people who care about it.

I’ve never sung the anthem, but then I’ve never sung anything really.

‘99% of all athletes in America keep their mouth shut during the anthem.’

and do 99% of them refuse to place their hands on the heart, as the majority of these little dears did...?

“..that she would “never put my hand over my heart.”

The sardine breath skag doesn’t have a heart.

‘It’s just people looking for reasons to get mad.’

based on your posts on this thread, nobody’s getting as mad as you are...

“I saw it and I was hoping for better enthusiasm for representing our/their wonderful Country.”

Which one...there are two “our countries” now.

“The women’s USWNT team...”

Somehow that makes me want to play around with letters.😎

I’m not mad at all. I’m amused. The people who want their panties in a twist at all times are hilarious. Sad. But also hilarious.

Yeah, and then tomorrow they’ll be blaming the low interest in women’s soccer on “misogyny”.
