Im middle-aged and I grew up wanting USA to win and succeed at everything internationally.
I am highly conflicted and its a real destruction of my world-view not to want success for people wearing the US flag, like the woman’s soccer team. But here we are nonetheless.
I hope this Olympic team loses out because of how poorly they represent our country.
I know exactly how you feel...but it's not us. They don't deserve to compete under our flag. I think the US Olympic committee should be disbanded. It's a disgrace that they allow such loud and obnoxious America haters compete on OUR national team!
My eldest daughter was learning to play soccer in the early days of Women’s team’s rise to success.
When she joined a competitive/traveling team she got to wear the number 9 because she was small and had great ball control skills and little fear, just like her idol, Mia Hamm.
I have cheered them on at almost every step as they ascended to the most dominant women’s program in the world.
I hope they lose every game in group and have to go home early. I have no problem at all rooting for New Zealand and Australia this time around.
