Fans criticized members of the United States Women's Soccer team for not singing the national anthem. AP The US Women’s National Soccer team was victorious in its opening match of the 2023 FIFA World Cup — but they’re not winners to fans left fuming after the most of the athletes stayed silent during the national anthem. Before the reigning women’s World Cup champion team went on to crush newcomer Vietnam 3-0, many of the players stood quietly as the “Star Spangled Banner” blared through New Zealand’s Eden Park arena.

If you don't show support for your own country you do not deserve to call yourselves the United States Women's Soccer team. If you were any good, a victory over a brand new team should have been a blowout. You suck.

As a big fan of the English Premier League I really don't understand the interest in wo.end football. A at least with women's tennis it's a well matched competition based on based on baseline serve and volley skills and can be appreciated as such. Once however you see how the game can really be played by skillful men - women's football iis for me a dreary inferior unwatchable product. Add to that the antipathy of some of the team to the club try and its a totally impossible watch.

Yes, thank you, #12. I grew up with the understanding that you face the flag, stand at attention, and remain silently reverent during the playing of the anthem. Then the fans at Soldier Field, I believe, started a boisterous singalong (which was kind of cool), and now you're judged. Better they not sing than toss American flags around like dirty towels after victories.

Not singing the National Anthem didn't bother me -- many people can't sing and only stand respectfully. It was that only 5 bothered to put their hands over their hearts. The rest of the world is laughing at us. If they can't perform the minimum required of every citizen, then they shouldn't be playing for the USWNT.

It appears to me that it is an Affirmative Action operation all around..... and the participants know it. No respect for the flag or anthem.... (no, you don't have to sing, but stand respectfully with your hand over your heart.... don't stand there looking sullen and bored).... no respect from me. I know! These gals need to up their 'entertainment' value! Maybe they could do what the beach volleyball broads do, and dress in little tiny bikinis! (I don't watch beach volleyball either, but I get the impression that a lot of people do.... at least more than watch women's soccer.

The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved an interior and environment funding bill that bans the federal government from spending any taxpayer money on the National Museum of the American Latino, part of the Smithsonian Institution, which was approved by Congress in 2020. With zero funding for a project that’s been a core priority for many U.S. Latinos,

Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday. He said that the donor class needs to pressure candidates with no path to drop out by February of next year at the very latest.“Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president,” he wrote. “That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person race before Mr. Trump has the nomination sewn up.”
