Perhaps I’m a party-pooper by nature and nurture. When I was a kid I heard the music from the ice cream truck then excitedly asked my father for a quarter.
“No,” he said, “they play that music when they’re out of ice cream.”
Unless you never heard that one, it’s an old one. Otherwise, it’s mine. But the risk of being condemned as a killjoy makes me defensive. “Our” team won, didn’t it? That’s what counts! USA! USA!
It’s a relentless insult: TV demands intelligent viewers ignore what they see to believe only what they’re told. Seconds after the US team won the Women’s World Cup on Sunday, Fox’s lead analyst

Could not agree more. The foul hens who fancy themselves heroes despite trashing our country deserve nothing but our contempt. I love international competition of all kinds and root for the USA, but not this time. I didn't watch a single second of the games and hoped the USA would lose.

All their win did for me was point out that they're a pack of America-hating, leftist Lesbians (but then I repeat myself).

With an attitude like she has, some far-left, aka socialist district will elect her to the House. She’d fit right in with the mouthy, ignorant, self-righteous crude, anti-American, rude divas giving SanFranNan fits.

I get a kick out of this team, as they are full of self-aggrandizing fat heads. Losing to a 7th grade boys soccer team isn't cause to subsequently beat your chest in exaltation at winning the (cough, cough) women's world cup. When you lose to a team of little boys, you are neither professional nor good.

Obnoxious, hateful women are not something that people will tune in to watch.
They have destroyed any chance they might have had to make women's soccer a commercially viable sport. Ultimately, it was probably a vain hope anyway. All soccer is boring, women's soccer is EXTRA boring. Not many will tune in.

In the past it was Hope Solo who was declared bad for the sport's image, she doesn't seem so bad by comparison.

I didn’t realize Alex Morgan was also gay.

Here's what needs to happen:
The American MLS should have an annual relegation game versus the USA Womyn. The last place team shall be the opponent. If ever the womyn win, they are promoted to play a full MLS league schedule under the auspices of the displaced franchise. The womyn will be subject to relegation if they cannot maintain a better than last place final standing. Given the USAWNT's popularity, and the offer of equality with men, MSL and USA soccer should be getting this done today!
Meanwhile, the NBA, parent of the WNBA, should reserve one of every team's roster spots for a player born-biological female. Each team will be required to carry one born-biological female as an active player every game, and that player must play no fewer than the average number of minutes played by the lowest male/other gender identification player. Payment will be no less than the lowest paid male player, and shall exceed league minimum. C'mon now, let's see some real ballin'!!

I don't consider them our team. They represented the gaystapo, not America. Now that we know they kept a Christian off the team, even though she was an great player, we know they are not Americans. Not with their hateful views. I long for the days of Mia Hamm and Coach Charles. They were a great Team America. Not this bunch of shriveled up shrieking fishwives.

At lunch today, a friend played a video of one of the team members saying something like "We have the keys to the city, hide your b*tches because we'll be coming for them." Actually, I think it was nastier than that, but that is the bit I remember.
These are really, nasty, obnoxious, foul-mouthed, hateful, disgusting lesbians. I hope they all have no future in sports.

It's soccer, people! Womyn's soccer, men's soccer; it does not matter. No genuine, red-blooded, natural-born Citizen of These United States of America gives two sh**ts about this bundle-of-sticks game played by every ass-backward, third-world, loser "country" on the planet. It is a pastime for mud people.

Last year no normal people even knew that the girls were having a kickball match. This year EVERYONE knew. TV viewership down 45% this year. They're doing wonders for their sport. Just sayin'.
