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.

Go Netherland. I hope the so called Americans (haters all) get their asses kicked big time.
miserable frunts, been rooting against them for years...,
I don't think so; but my hope is that one day they'll meet up w/ a team loaded with trannies and get shellacked. Failing that, I'm rooting for any team that plays "ours".
Game is over. Tied 1-1.
Watch out. Some men in the West may consider converting to Islam.
Scum...
That’s exactly what it is. The “media” cheered because they were all standing with fists behind their backs. The far-left “media” got the message.
Does the whole team normally sing? If so, then this isn’t stupid.
“Those girls need “The Griner Cure”.”
Does she sing now?
No, thanks, I don’t do rabbit holes.
What entire team sings the national anthem that isn’t from a fascist state?
Outrage over something stupid.

In Women’s Tennis, I always root against the heterosexual.
The one Bud Light didn’t sponsor.
When is Dylan Mulvaney going to go pro, BTW? Perfect match for M.R.
““I really do believe their version of what a feminist is, what it means to be an empowered woman, at least as an American woman, means you need to hate your country,” the outspoken podcaster told her audience on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show.”
She’s absolutely correct! Megyn has come a long way since her debate fiasco.
The young people (0.5% exceptions) arrogantly think they are clever.
They aren’t.
That sounds about right 👍👍👍
a not so cunning stunt, once again
Is RapingHoe still a member of the team?
Everyone is saying now, they aren’t going to win the WC based on how they’ve looked so far.
And just what are they protesting? If asked I think they would reply 'what have you got?'.
I'll not watch a game. Of course giving up women's soccer is no hardship for me.
Shrug. Who knows. That’s why they play the games. They’ve won half of them already.
