For the first time in my life, I did not root for an American team. Whatever the sport, I have always rooted American. But if those who called into my radio show were representative of my audience, many millions of Americans made the same sad choice.
It takes a lot for people like me not to root for an American team. But Megan Rapinoe, the foul-mouthed star of the team, and her fellow players made it possible.
The U.S. women's team disgraced itself. Either its members were cowed into submission by Rapinoe or they agreed (or, at least, never disagreed) with her attacks on the president,

Rapinoe should have been dismissed from the team within hours after her foul mouthed and disrespectful rant. The fact that she was not tells you all you need to know about the leadership of the US Women's Soccer organization. Completely unworthy of our support.

A-mer-i-phobe (noun)
A person who hates the freedoms Americans enjoy and the rule of law, and will only be satisfied when America is reduced to a socialist state where the government controls everything. "The soccer squad of Ameriphobes attacked the duly elected president of the United States."

Rapinoe is a "great player"? I dunno. Her team got whipped by a bunch of 13-yr.-old boys from Dallas.
I'm with Steve Sailer. The only reason U.S. women dominate in soccer is simple -- in other countries, where people actually LIKE soccer and take it seriously, they don't pay attention to their women's program.

I despise the team, and P&G for announcing they are giving them millions of dollars. When I buy toothpaste, I don't expect the price to include support for an anti-American soccer team.

The stink of Rapinoe could have been offset by the other 20+ members of the team. Their silence was deafening. Especially Alex Morgan the Co-captain. She could have counter balanced the ugly face of Rapinoe .
Alas she too kept quiet and let us assume that she too hated America.

The Woman’s Soccer finals game was played by two very unbalanced national teams as far as talent was concerned, and most likely the same occurred in every other game before the final game giving the USA a huge advantage in team talent throughout the series of games. In the final the USA played against the Netherlands. The USA has a population of over 325 million people with over half being women from among who the US team recruited. The Netherlands has a population of over just 17 million people, with over half being women from which the Netherlands team recruited. With such differing populations in numbers, there is bound to be a lot more highly talented soccer players to recruit in the USA, by a country mile, over the much smaller pool of of talent that the Netherlands could recruit from. There is no way that any professional sports league could survive with their teams limited to having to recruit their talent from such disparate talent pools.

Seals are better behaved than these non-ladies. And I am tired of hearing about them in every TV news broadcast. So a team of women beat other teams of women. What's the big deal? Just as some sports have weight categories, perhaps some should have testosterone level tests.

Rapinoe is the women's soccer equivalent of AOC. She thrives on attention and she's an exhibitionist.

These women have made a stain on women's soccer that will be nearly impossible to erase. They have also made a stain on the rest of their lives. They will not be able to say, with pride, that they were a part of this team. They will not want to allow their children and grandchildren (assuming they want to marry a man and have children) to learn about their conduct and disrespect for their country.
I suspect that their soccer experience will not be talked about much among friends and family, in coming years. The people they believe are their friends now will fade away...

This is a civil war between patriotic Americans and anti-America haters and all it stands for. Rapinoe along with Kaepernick are on the other side of my picket line. I dislike them and the sports they corrupt just like they hate me, the flag and America. I don't take a purple haired, foul mouth, woman who looks like a middle age man serious or the politics she espouses. Sorry women's soccer you all blew it and what you have achieved was not what you played for.

#12, The U.S. men's team routinely loses to teams from far smaller countries.

I felt very sad that I could not support them and that I was actually cheering on their opponents. MR has hurt the team irreparably in her obsessive search for attention.

Re #12, if that theory was true, the U. S. men would have performed better as well. Doesn’t hold up. The Netherlands lost the championship by 2 points, one of which was - as I recall - a penalty kick. And the foul was not seen by the referee, but caught on video. The Netherlands's strong defense kept the U. S. team from scoring for the first half...
We saw imbalance between the U. S. and some other teams. The Netherlands, not so much. I don’t believe it is about the population.

What the Obama Administration did for race relations in America, this women's soccer team did for the popularity of women's soccer in America.

I didn't know that we had a women's soccer team. Now that I know, I'll make a point of not supporting them.

I despised Barack Obama but I would never disrespect my country and not stand for the anthem. It shows the vile and tiny mindset of people like that butch chick Rapinoe. All about her and now that 'win' will be forever tainted in our minds. Not that I watched. Soccer has no appeal for me and that goes double for women's soccer.

BINGO. Not only me but everyone I know did exactly the same. This purple haired foul mouth and many of her foul mouthed team members who represented the United States shamed themselves for all eternity. I don't care if this team plays the greatest game in the history of the universe at high noon on world wide TV...I could care less. These women—regardless of how they feel personally about anything—represented America and the least they owed this great nation is respect for our flag and the people who trustingly supported them. Please note: past tense: supported. Color me gone forever in support of this team.

I am betting (hoping) their "victory" tour will be a flop, and the US soccer association (or whatever) doesn't see any measurable increase in the number of people who are willing to pay good money to watch these and other women play soccer. And I blame the coach for this disgusting display of "me firstism."

Soccer isn't very exciting. Politics can be more than exciting. I can see ramping soccer up with a bit of Pancho Villa type politics ~ guns and everything ~ mine fields.... imagine running between them.....
But that woman Rabinau will still whine about it.

Erm, No. Soccer is best played. Watching it is a colossal bore. You never get that time back. Add angry lesbians to the mix and, just NO.
