The Lesbian Brotherhood doing what it does best.
Amazing how transphobic they are. No biological males on the team? The horror. The ... horror.

This not the United States Women’s Soccer Team. This the Non-national LBGTQ+ Soccer Team. Never watched it, never will.

They can hit the road. They should be kicked out of the USA and stripped of U.S. citizenship.
