You can’t walk the walk if you’re down on one knee.
The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team, led by the politically-charged Megan Rapinoe, represented America on the world stage by taking a knee before their match against Sweden on Wednesday, which was then made worse by the 3-0 loss.
Assuming that their grandstanding would lead to a win, the USWNT managed to chip away at the remaining fun to be had with the Olympic Games in Tokyo by making things … political, which many correctly assume is more of a grab for attention than activism.
“The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team was beaten, 3-0, I believe by Sweden,” said OutKick founder Clay Travis, joining the millions of Americans who were stunned to learn that the Women’s Soccer Team had already played. “It was their first loss in 44 games, for this situation to happen.”
As Clay assesses, their decision to side with the divisive messaging from ideologues such as Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement missed the mark on what it means to be American even more than their kicks missed the goal against Sweden.
“It’s intriguing to see the U.S. women kneel before the game began. There’s going to be a lot of political analysis going on as it pertains to the Olympics this year. It’s going to be harder to enjoy, it’s going to be way more political than it has been in the past, and I think that is going to hurt the viewership — not to mention the 12-hour difference. …
They got whipped right after they kneeled. It’s unfortunate that the story, for many people with the U.S. women, no longer involves their on the field performance. But instead, about what they are doing before the game even begins.”
I’m afraid there will be many Americans rooting against some American athletes and teams. Where are we?
It’s unfortunate but I find myself rooting against all the woke athletes.
Although, I won’t be watching at all.
I would never root against the AMERICANS … but that’s me and its the Olympics…America vs ERRRRRRRBODY
I don’t cheer for people who hate America. I won’t be watching, so it doesn’t really matter.
I hope the US Women’s soccer team loses every game. If the athletes protest the USA … I hope they get their asses handed to them by their opponents.
Individuals who were chosen to represent their country in the Olympics are kneeling in protest of their country….just wrap your mind around that a second or two…
I look forward to the day when MAGA and OUTKIck supply this country with the greatest athletes to walk the earth . I have a dream
