Take a good look at this picture. Note especially the woman standing about three people away from Racist Rapinoe.

Former President Donald Trump says “woke politics” contributed to the US Women’s soccer team’s dismal opening performance in the Tokyo Olympics.
“The US Women’s Soccer team is a very good example of what’s going on,” Trump told a crowd during a campaign-style rally in Arkansas on Saturday night.
“Woke politics takes the life and joy out of everything. Woke-ism makes you lose, ruins your mind and ruins you as a person. You become warped. You become demented,” he said during the speech to the Turning Point Action political action committee in Phoenix.
“Earlier this week, [the women’s team] unexpectedly lost to Sweden, three to nothing, and Americans were happy about it,” Trump told the crowd, who responded by cheering.
“You proved that point before I even said it,” Trump added to the audience, shaking his head.
The US Women’s team, favored to win a gold medal in Tokyo and ranked No. 1 in the world, has traveled down a rocky road so far in the Olympic Games.
The team — known for some members’ protests against racism, including by kneeling during the National Anthem — started off with a stunning 3-0 loss to Sweden. It rebounded with a 6-1 win over New Zealand on Saturday.
During his Arizona speech, Trump also doubled-down against the Cleveland Indians changing their name to the Cleveland Guardians.
“The Cleveland Indians will be changing their name, a name that was filled with history and memories. The new name will be the Cleveland Guardians, which is terrible,” he told the crowd.
“If I were a [Native American], I’d sue,” the former president said.

“I mean, what could be better? Especially if you have a good team, the Cleveland Indians, it’s one of the greatest names. One of the most incredible logos. People love it. They are going absolutely crazy in Ohio over the name change. The Cleveland Guardians, what’s that all about?” he said.
“The insanity of the left knows no bounds. And both Indians and baseball fans should be greatly insulted. They want to take away our history, our heritage, our culture, and everything that holds us together,” Trump added.
Something about having your ‘head’ in the wrong place.
Once they are done with the Olympics, they should play the last place men’s team to test their “equal work, equal pay” BS.
Woke = Brain Rot
There are probably 50 high school boys teams that would skunk them.
American is a state of mind.
Not proud of America? You are not American.
Not proud of American history? You are not American.
Not proud of what America stands for? You are not American.
Not proud of what the American flag stands for? You are not American.
Not proud of the American National Anthem? You are not American.
Wokeism taking precedence over the meaning of “American”? You are not American.
BLM and Antifa inspire you? You are absolutely not American.
Following the liberal left’s agenda towards socialism/communism? You are not American and you need to find a different country to move to.
You don’t feel proud to represent America in the Olympics? Then, most Americans despise what you represent.

“The team — known for some members’ protests against racism, including by kneeling during the National Anthem”
No, not quite - the protest is against the United States, its police, and its military.
People that hate the USA should not be representing us.

The team was named after Louis Sockalexis, the first "Native American" to play major-league baseball. Taking away the Indians name is racist and offensive. Vast, large majorities of "Native Americans" not only say they're not offended by "Native American" team names, but are proud of them, but #woke whitefolk (progressives) decided that they, and not the group in question, get to decide what offends the group in question, rather than the members of that group. That is racist.
I guess the affected minority not being offended interferes with the #progressives #VirtueSignalling and their superiority complex. #Totalitarians don't like it when you stand up to them, whether they're Cubans, Haitians, Chinese, or woke white progressives.
And then, they cheaped out and kept half the names ("dians.")
The Guardians name honors four statues at the end of the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge (also known as the Hope Bridge), called the Guardians of Traffic. The bridge lets out just short of Progressive Field. But those statues are modelled on statues at the palaces of Assyrian kings, who were SLAVEHOLDERS. Typical of progressives to honor slaveholders. Birds of a feather.
Sadly, the Democrats' view of minorities hasn't changed ONE IOTA since the day the party was founded almost 200 years ago. All that has changed is the adoption of new tactics forced on them by Republicans taking their "property" from them -- and the color of the hoods. As Candace Owens says, "Liberals believe they own black people -- still." Native Americans too, apparently.
Typical.
Same thing with men's basketball.
This is really Trump’s greatest value - putting his finger right on the sore spots that other politicians don’t even dare bring up. Even if he chooses never to hold office again, he can do his country an immense service by continuing to be the crank they can’t shut up. :)
“known for some members’ protests against racism” — that really bugged me. Author Moore isn’t very well informed, is he?
About the Indians; they have their lying polls showing 51-49 percent approval of the name change. As in East Germany during the Cold War, we have to read between the lines. 51-49 = 80 percent disapproval.
Bob Feller is rolling over in his grave.

There’s something of a karma double-play going on here. Not only did the obnoxious and ultra-woke U.S. soccer team lose, they lost to Sweden. Sweden is the one country that went its own way with the pandemic and didn’t impose widespread lockdowns.
“Trump told a crowd during a campaign-style rally in Arkansas on Saturday night.”
Arkansas? How could the NY Post editors make this mistake? Shame on them.
When you spend more time honing your social justice points than practicing.
