Inspiring: US Women's Soccer Team To Boycott Scoring Goals Until Racism Is Defeated

TOKYO—People were stunned after the U.S. women's soccer team lost to Sweden in the Olympics this week by a score of 3-0—until the team revealed they are boycotting scoring any goals until racism is defeated.

"Yeah, we didn't score any goals against Sweden last night, but that was totally on purpose," said star player and beloved activist Megan Rapinoe. "This isn't the time to score goals—when America is still racist. We totally could have beaten Sweden but we decided as a team that no goals will be scored until complete equality has been achieved in America. Also, we demand a hefty raise."

Onlookers were stunned during the second half of the game when Rapinoe dribbled the ball all the way to Sweden's unprotected goal and whispered "This is for you, people of color," before kicking the ball straight into the air and running headfirst into the goalpost.

"This may be one of the most powerful performances in the history of sports," said Teen Vogue's sportswriter who has never watched sports.

The U.S. Women's team is demanding to remain in the Olympic tournament and promises to continue its streak of zero goals. Inspiring!

The Bee strikes again...of course if the womyn _really_ cared about racism they would have boycotted the Japanese Olympics.

Japan is one of the most racist societies on the planet.

> Japan is one of the most racist societies on the planet.<

A black friend of mine taught high school English in Japan for a year. He was surprised by how unrelenting rude his students were to him. So yeah, I guess my friend would agree with you.

If disrespecting your country’s flag and anthem were Olympic sports, they’d take every medal.

Math is racist. And participation trophies are as good as gold medals.

Not me. I had a big smile on my face when I saw the result this morning. The USWNT is in a fairly strong group and I hope they get eliminated before the knockout round.
