US women’s soccer team...

... Just got their asses kicked by Sweden, 3 to 0. They are now out of the Olympics.

That’s going to sting, for quite a while.

Lol...

I don't think that they're out. They can still finish in the top two of their group and continue onto the medal rounds.

javadog · 07-21-2021, 07:03 AM

Yeah, technically you’re right. I prefer to think of them as headed to oblivion, as payback for their stupid antics.

I’ll be rooting for whoever they play against.

I hate to say it, but I smiled.

Let’s just say I’m tired of this kind of nonsense:

Same here. I look at them not as the Women's U.S. Soccer Team but as women playing soccer for the U.S.

I’m tired of the politics in sports. They think they’re making the world better, in fact they are making it much worse. Consider the results of a recent poll:

That’s what gets my goat. They think they are better and smarter than the rest of us, the reality is just the opposite. I have a low tolerance for this level of stupidity.

Need to cut all the Woke ones.

Why would we give them a shot when they hate the country? Let them get sponsored by Cuba.

I'm sick of politicizing sports as well. Way to easy to turn it off and go outside. Plenty of other things to do. Someday it may change. Don't really care at this point. The Tour and a few other bike races will probably be the only sports I watch this year.

I was rooting for USA. Seemingly for similar reasons. The ignorant, naive do-good political antics are a total deal breaker for me. In Sweden many of the "female" football players are of a non ordinary version of sexuality and as such I suppose they feel like a suppresed minority.

They were more about their "woke" message, than kicking the ball down the field....good riddance !

Me too. Doing this quietly with an evil smile. Continuous btiching don't go too far with the general public, especially about money and identity politics.

It’s getting hard to choose which team to root against, when both of them act like *******s. Even the refs are getting into the nonsense, which is disgusting.

Oh you think they are a bit rough. You should see New Zealand's female rugby team

And they demand the same pay as NZ's male rugby players who are some of the world's best. No one cares about **** sport, not even their own community.

As with just about everyone I socialize with, I prefer not to watch the BS. I just turn it off or watch something else.
DO YOU HEAR THAT SPONSORS?
You will. And your shareholders as well.

Clay Travis: ‘Go woke, get broke;’ Olympics suffer from loss of sponsors, NBA from loss of ratings
'It's not a coincidence; they went political,' says Travis

Outkick.com founder Clay Travis says the NBA is trying to act like nothing happened after getting political and seeing ratings fall.

Clay Travis, founder of Outkick.com, spoke with Brian Kilmeade about the ongoing issues plaguing the NBA and the Tokyo Olympics. He said the NBA is pivoting from their "woke" campaign after seeing two years of bad ratings and warned of "nervousness" surrounding the Olympics amid looming fears of COVID-19.

CLAY TRAVIS: This is the go woke, get broke synopsis year. Last year, worst ratings of all time for the NBA. This year, second worst ratings all time. It's not a coincidence. They went political. Now they're trying to George Costanza-style pretend it never happened. There was almost zero politics this year. That's going to be tough.

There's a lot to be nervous about, I think, if you're an Olympics fan. First of all, we don't know what the overall impact of COVID is going to be. Some of the top athletes could end up getting knocked out of performance. You've got no crowds in the stands at all. The Japanese people overwhelmingly do not want the Olympics to take place. And top sponsors are already pulling out, add in the huge time difference, and I think there's got to be a lot of nervousness about what is usually a signature event around the world that brings us all together. Not so sure that's going to be the case this year.

They’ll all be replaced by trans women in a few years.
