Earlier this month several women from the US soccer team turned away from the US flag as 98-year-old WWII veteran Pete DuPré played the national anthem on a harmonica.
The US women’s soccer team was playing an exhibition game against Mexico in East Hartford, Connecticut in a pre-Olympic sendoff game before heading to Japan.
The video is included for all to see.

On Wednesday Sweden stunned the US Womens Soccer Team with a 3-0 victory in the women’s soccer tournament. They’re out.
The US women’s team was just bounced from the Olympics. Via The AP:
The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, were riding a 44-match unbeaten streak heading into the match. But Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team’s nemesis of sorts in recent years. The Swedes bounced the Americans from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever, by making a defensive stand.
This April, Sweden played the United States to a 1-1 draw in Stockholm, which snapped a winning streak dating back to January 2019 when the Americans lost to France in the run-up to the World Cup. It was the U.S. team’s only draw this year.

“it’s frustrating that it’s Sweden.” In other words “don’t they know their place?? They shouldn’t even be on the same field with us!”
Massive disrespect, but what else would you except from this ungrateful cretin.
As in come back home its not rocket surgery
Gotcha. That was left out of the excerpt.
A number of them live near me in Seattle. They are so “woke” and on the news all the time. It is good to see them get knocked down hard.
“ They’re out. The US women’s team was just bounced from the Olympics.”
No, they aren’t out yet. The loss is hilarious given the hype, but this was an early round game. Other thread: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3977869/posts
That’s what some people need to remind them that they are not idols to worship and not even listen to.
Do they have a social media page so we can laugh at them?
Used to look forward to feeling a sense of national pride as our Olympic teams pretty much dominated the games, but no more! I find myself hoping that the teams that kneel lose badly for disgracing our nation on the national stage by making a shameful spectacle of themselves in front of the world
They declined an invitation to the White House when Trump was President. I wonder if they will do the same with His Fraudulency? Of course, they have to win first and that is now by no means certain. Or maybe Biden will invite them to the White House to “celebrate” that they went to the Olympics and were such good and brave people to take a knee, even if they didn’t get medals. That would be in keeping with his approach. I hope they lose.
# 38 has already done that.
Yes.
See #47 as well.
Our enemies disrespect our flag, our anthem and our country!
We teach them respect!!
Perhaps me-gun wrappin’ho can pull her famous scissor move on them to keep them off guard.
Oh? So the team is actually out completely? Thought this was a preliminary round - that they still had a path to the medal rounds.
I wonder how much it sucks when most citizens of your own country hope you lose..
Thanks for posting the good news.
May these losers in life continue to lose and be miserable for ever.
Going by what happened at the just completed Euro 2020, no country that went about losing by 3 goals in the first round, got anywhere.
Plus Sweden bounced them out at the Rio Olympics in 2016 as well.
