We don’t like being lectured by purple haired mannish looking allegedly feminist liberals.
It looks like some folks out there are starting to pay attention...
but Japan should have banned them from competition and deported all of them for the left wing propaganda garbage.
Damned shame we've come to this, but America as a nation needs a singular voice in these times
Kind'a like, Trump won
COME ON MATILDAS!!!!!!!
If the US is so bad, why shouldn’t we cheer for the other team?

I imagine that locker room is pretty toxic right now.
And rightly so.
Her obnoxious voice hucking for Subway has moved them onto my Boycott Forever list. Which is appropriate since she books like a pink-haired ugly boy.
YEA Canada.
I bet Megan is somehow blaming it on men. LOL
Don’t most Women soccer players “play for the other team”?
Rap is a diesel dyke.
OMG. There was a song about a Purple People Eater and I thought it was just being silly. How little did I know!
Hell it has been toxic since USA hatred and sex identity confusion entered…
Good - they never represented America anyway, just their own sordid ideals.
