US women’s team refuse to sing national anthem before World Cup draw with Holland.
Six players take part in silent protest labelled ‘disrespectful’ but Martina Navratilova tells critics to 'get a grip'.
The US women’s football team have sparked a divisive row at the World Cup after six players elected not to sing the national anthem in a silent ‘protest’ that was labelled “embarrassing” and “disrespectful”.
The defending world champions risked the ire of the American public for the second time in five days yesterday when more than half of the team stayed silent before their group game against Holland, which they drew 1-1.
Their actions drew a fierce backlash with high-profile critics accusing members of the squad of failing to be patriotic enough on the global stage.
The most stinging rebuke came from prominent journalist and media personality, Megyn Kelly, who said before the reigning champions’ second game of this World Cup, that they were damaging the country with their behaviour.

Those girls need "The Griner Cure".
Women’s athletics, (gay) soccer, and liberalism/America haters. What could be more delightful?
They're alienating half of their audience which is just stupid.
They need to follow Michael Jordan in that “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”.
Its time to defund public supported sports teams (taxes, ticket sales, etc.) that hold no good esteem for their country.
I don’t want hear a bunch of wailing dykes any more than we already have to
Let’s hope they lose big.
Are they Tranny?
They can stop presenting themselves as team USA. They can stop taking any USA money and other sponsorship
Then they can define exactly what their objection is so that they and others can discover the ignorance

Thankfully, the Trannies are taking care of destroying women’s sports, so I’ll continue with my policy of letting ‘The Sisterhood’ fight it out.
These lesbian c**ts should not play under the American flag then
Frankly, they need to look at the ratings of who may be watching. That’s what matters.
Send em a case of Bud Light to celebrate.........
They're female athletes from the United States of America and they can fly the FIFA flag.
Amen! I hope they get stomped.
If I were the other 17 on the team, I would be telling these 6 morons to gtfo.
I watch them play so if they can get their asses kicked I will witness it. I rooted last night for the Dutch, but it was a tie game.
after their game they can go to another country if they don’t care about USA.
I didn't expect them to sing but I would expect them to place their hand over their heart, especially because they're under the miscroscope now.
