We’re not at the knockout stage yet, so US is still in it at this point. Not that most of us are rooting for team USA in this event.

If they’re kneelers, good.

If they’re not, yawn.

That’s what happens when you hate the country you represent. Even if you win, no one will care.

They aren’t a soccer team. They are a political protest group.

Lose more please.

So basically they’re “not all that”. Who knew their hype didn’t match their output. Bring on the Junior High boys team.

The last thing in the world I care about are the olympics.

When they let guys compete in women’s events and our representatives turn their back and/or kneel at our Flag, they can follow the nfl into oblivion.

Maybe if they focused more on sports and winning, instead of hating America and pronouns, they would have done better.
