Let no one claim that the U.S. women's soccer team can't beat men. They have, in fact, already unseated the 2007 New England Patriots as the most unlikable winning sports team in modern American history. This is an extraordinary accomplishment in its own right, as it is very hard to be both unlikable and a winner in America. Winning covers up many sins. Even Michael Vick was forgiven after he had a decent season with the Eagles. We love winners in our culture, but it is truly hard to love these ladies.
I will be told that this apparent unlikability is due to sexism — my sexism, the system's sexism, everyone's sexism, the sexism in the water supply. We have trouble liking the women's soccer team, and celebrating its successes, because they are women and we are misogynists, or so the story will go. But that excuse doesn't hold. Most of the "misogynists" criticizing Megan Rapinoe's squad still love to see American women take gold at the Olympics. It was easy to root for Simone Biles and Lindsey Vonn. But it's not so easy with this particular collection of female athletes.

Does Megan Rapinoe's testosterone level go down in the off-season?
Bunch of Lesbiens pushing there Trump hate agenda.
Who gives a damn.
There is a communication barrier between European countries and the US.We hear and see only what we are allowed to and very little else.The pure asses they made of themselves after the finals has been greatly modified for our consumption.A few team members displayed honorable behavior,but not enough to offset the team members who did not.
They r a DISGRACE
11:11 - Rapinoe is the definition of "Toxic Masculinity"
I will NEVER watch U.S. Women's Soccer again. Very disgraceful.
Collection of lesbian liberal agendaists is more like it. They DO NOT represent the USA in any way, shape or form. Protect your children from this disease.
11:22am Uh, what?
"hear and see only what we are allowed to"??? Uh, what again?
Are you that stupid? Its called effort. You can find unedited footage of almost anything if you look outside the Main Stream Media and get off Google, Facebook & Twitter.
The only way to be lied to in this country is by choice. It has been proven over and over again that yes the media will lie to you. But its your own fault for falling for it and its your own responsibility to know better than to believe them.
History is flooded with notable quotes about consuming news and info that is readily feed to you.
12:57-You must have a man crush on Megan.I have not read one accurate report on precisely what transpired between the US winning that match and the time they arrived back in the US.I happen to know because I'm related to one of the players,and the worst of their behavior was not released because the powers that be thought it too graphic and obscene for US consumption.Good luck finding it among your sources.
Next go round the team will be transgender HS boys because they can outplay most current members. Reap what you sow.
Now onto the current team. Extremely disappointing level of sportsmanship, and that reflects on the team members, the coach and the organization that funds them. And it's not just a this year phenomena, as former goalie Solo's behavior demonstrated.
For eons various of the winning sports teams have been invited to the White House to be congratulated in public. It's not a political event but snowflake minds have turned it into a doctrinal litmus test. The result will be that the tradition dies for all teams in all sports due to the privileged abusing their on the field success to soothe their copy-cat egos.
Once the soccer team's focus became apparent, I became one of millions who found something more useful to do than turn on the TV during their matches. Too bad that some otherwise honorable team members knuckled under to the bullies on the squad. Phooey on them!
I agree 12:29. Boycott them untol they climb a flag poll and hang the tars and stripes. I hope they lose the next 10 seasons
2:33pm
psst.
its me, 12:57pm
Women's sports are boring, slow, less technical, less skilled and if it was not for their sex appeal (extremely lacking these days) also completely unwatchable. I dont have daughters and I dont care about soccer.
Nobody cares about your friends lesbian half-brother. And nobody believes your horse crap.
run along now.
No professionalism. The purpose of sports is to compete and show sportsmanship. This was not a sporting event. It showed a lot of hate. It is disgusting and I am embarrassed for them and resent that they were representing America.
Please don't EVER refer to them as ladies!!!
This team should be banded from playing for America again due to lack of respect for their country.
hard to love POS
A few of them are just nasty trash. What a legacy they leave. Pathetic.
They push and push watching this women's soccer, but nobody is watching.
If it was never played again, I wouldn't even notice.
