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!
I will cheer for whatever team whose turn it is to kick their pink, narrow buts!
I also thought it was real until I saw that it was from the Bee. I have seen many other news stories that I first thought were from the Bee, but they turned out to be real.
ROTF!!!
I ❤ The Bee!
I know a young gal who went to Japan to teach English right out of college. She raved about her life in Japan.
Of course she is 5’8”, blonde, blue eyes with a figure and personality that causes divorces when she walks into a room.
I wonder if it was the blonde hair or stunning figure that opened doors for her?
She said she turned down several offers from very wealthy Japanese men who wanted her as their mistress.
Babylon Bee = Super Cool!
A have a Subway sandwich ,LOL
Canada, not to be outdone, vowed to score three own goals to protest racism, climate change, and the patriarchy.
They would try to score three of their own however as Canadian international athletes only receive government support if they tie other nations.
Did I fool anyone?
(from the Battleford Bee, yeah we got one too, or I made it up, what difference at this point does it make?)
Can’t wait for the mixed gay transgendered underwater fencing relay, it’s not for the feint of heart.
They can’t win against a high school boys’ team.
LOL!
Lol. The Babylon bee’s sense of humor is almost as good as the almighty’s
Yeh,
The team is more interested in uber liberal political issues than soccer. They were sloppy, slow, disorganized, no teamwork. Hope the whole bunch is cut and a new team is recruited from scratch.
Their sponsors will sue. They were sent to WIN.
And you know, as I was reading the story, I was thinking to myself 'the very first poster is going to say that he believes it'. Gawd I love this place!
"Oh, My!"
Hilarious!
