Conservatives are celebrating Team USA's 1-0 loss to rival Canada in the semifinal round of the women's Olympic soccer tournament — an upset critics say resulted from American players' focus on social activism.
'Little Ms. Purple Hair and her team of woke warriors fell flat on their faces,' read an article on former Trump aid Wayne Dupree's website, referencing team captain Megan Rapinoe.
'The US Women's Soccer Team went WOKE and now they lost to Canada,' best-selling author and self-described security expert Brigitte Gabriel tweeted. 'That's what happens when you put political propaganda before sport and hard work.'
Despite their recent successes, Rapinoe and the rest of the reigning World Cup champions have drawn the ire of conservative Americans over their activism.
In addition to protesting racism by kneeling during the national anthem, Rapinoe and many of her teammates have pushed for equal pay with their male counterparts, publicly quarreled with former President Donald Trump, and preemptively refused to visit the Trump White House to celebrate their 2019 World Cup win.
Trump continued the feud during a speech in late July, telling an audience 'Wokeism makes you lose.'
Weeks earlier, conservatives accused the team of turning away from a World War II veteran who was playing The Star-Spangled Banner on his harmonica before an exhibition. However, video footage shows that some players turned towards the flag while other remained facing forward in his direction.
The US can still take a bronze medal with a win over Australia, but the fact that Americans are going home without the gold was more than enough ammunition for critics.
'I support watching Megan Rapinoe lose,' American-Australian author Nick Adams tweeted. 'They kneeled. They shouldn't represent America.'

She’s too stupid to be an idiot.
“That was bad form. Really, they should not comment on the team’s failure, much less gloat. It achieved nothing except making the Trump campaign look petty.”
Yes. Because...”That’s not who we are” and “We’re better than that”. We’re civilized. We play by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
Meanwhile, the barbarians are sacking Rome.
Or the equivalent of someone who didn't serve ragging on a swell guy like Lt. Col. Vindeman.
Who cares.
Everything you said is correct.
This…^^^^play for some woke country …
No.
Because we have bigger problems than a purple haired freak and her soccer team. At least she still knows which bathroom to use which is better than the NZ ‘female’ weight lifter.
Gloating at her loss doesn’t do the Left any damage and might hurt our cause. She was supposed to be the US team. I am glad she got beat, but I regret the US losing the medal.
Why the long faces ladies (I use that label sparingly on this bunch)?
Americans are supposed to be collective losers, especially whites.
Right rapinhoe?
By the looks of their physiques, I’d say lay off the testosterone and go back to estrogen.
If they called themselves transgender, it could work.
Every member of the US "women's" soccer team should be ashamed of themselves.
I put women in quotes because some of them look more like junkyard dogs.
Which would be worse for Purple Hair...finishing out of the medals, or standing on the podium and listening to the National Anthem as a bronze medal winner?
There's an entire team of under 14 year olds in Dallas who already beat the U.S. women's team in soccer. They may not be gloating but there are plenty of non-Communists who watched the U.S. women's team woke themselves after supporting the Communists of Black Lives MatterTM by kneeling in disgrace and wearing the Communist slogan on the U.S. uniform.
With many of this team, "down under" is the norm. cough cough
I agree. Stop being nice to commies. Treat them like the low trash they are.
She should have been kicked off the team years ago and had her bitch head shaved, like the French did to *their quislings.
Oh just shut up. Wimps like you are why we lose.
L
Shut up. Americans have every right to despise these commie holes.
It’s time to call a spade a spade and not a hoe.
