After women’s World Cup loss, so-called American patriots cheered
By no means have so many individuals who assume they’re American patriots celebrated america shedding.
The U.S. women’s national team fell to Sweden and people self-proclaimed patriots, the individuals who contemplate themselves the best People since Abraham Lincoln and Captain Kirk. Those who say how a lot they love America greater than you. Definitely you, for those who’re Black, and definitely you, for those who’re woke, and also you, too, over there in Whatabout Chicago. And darn positive extra ‘Merica loving than you individuals who use pronouns. Otherwise you within the liberal media, and likewise you who do not dwell in a “small city.” All these self-proclaimed nice American patriots who say they love America greater than you cheered when America misplaced.
It has been gorgeous to see. A few of these patriots are so blinded by their hate of first, ladies, and second, ladies who’ve opinions in regards to the nation and world that differs from theirs that they cannot see they’re rooting in opposition to their very own nation.
Newsweek and different media shops chronicled a number of the right-wing response and I’ve to say, I’ve not seen this stage of hatred since Colin Kaepernick took a knee.

Proper-winger Joey Mannarino, who has over 265,000 followers on X, posted this: “I root for America each single time they compete in sports activities, besides for girls’s soccer.”
“The US Ladies’s soccer staff acquired completely curb-stomped by Sweden,” the good patriot wrote. “The sport was misplaced as a result of Megan Rapinoe, the woke piece of trash, missed a penalty kick. So Megan now bears the accountability for why the US misplaced. I’m so glad to see it. Go woke, go broke. Megan Rapinoe will now enter retirement together with her head hung in disgrace.”
Rapinoe final yr was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the best civilian honor. Mannarino has a podcast.
Somebody named Vince Langman, an ultra-MAGA with over 100,000 followers on X, who has in his bio 4 American flags, in addition to #alllivesmatter and #BlueLivesMatter, wrote: “Not solely did the anti-American woke girl’s soccer staff lose at this time. Megan Rapinoe missed a penalty kick that will have sealed the win for the USA. Speak about a win-win.”
Turning Level USA chief inventive officer Benny Johnson posted: “Woke U.S. Ladies’s Soccer Humiliation. After successful back-to-back World Cups the closely favored Staff USA has been ELIMINATED by Sweden within the (Spherical of 16). Staff USA’s downfall was delivered by anti-America, anti-woman activist Megan Rapinoe’s EMBARRASSING free kick right here.”
It wasn’t a free kick. It was a penalty kick.
Wrote right-winger Brigitte Gabriel, who has over 900,000 followers: “The US Ladies’s Soccer Staff went WOKE and now they misplaced to Canada. That’s what occurs while you put political propaganda earlier than sport and laborious work.”
They misplaced to Sweden, not Canada.
One of many stuff you see within the criticism is how little the individuals doing it truly learn about soccer. They acquired the international locations incorrect. They do not know what a free kick is. They do not know that America misplaced primarily as a result of that they had 14 World Cup first-timers, a brand new coach, a number of accidents and a extra aggressive world panorama.
All of this outrage is faux. It is all unhealthy religion arguments designed to fulfill right-wing individuals.
Posted the account “Catturd” which has 1.9 million followers: “The anti-American USA woke ladies’s soccer staff has been eradicated and Megan Rapinoe is the reason for it. I am unable to cease laughing.”
That is the America First crowd. Individuals like T.J. Moe, a contributor for The Blaze, who mentioned on social media: “I am glad they misplaced.”
What do these individuals truly like in regards to the nation? They don’t like Disney. Or Bud Light. Or the NFL. Or the NBA. Or the WNBA. Or ladies’s soccer. Or Target. Or the FBI. Or the American authorities. Or democracy. Or giant swaths of the American individuals.
Then there was one of the vital insane posts that I’ve ever seen from Donald Trump and that is saying one thing.
“The ‘stunning and completely surprising’ loss by the U.S. Ladies’s Soccer Staff to Sweden is totally emblematic of what’s taking place to our as soon as nice Nation underneath Crooked Joe Biden. Lots of our gamers have been overtly hostile to America − No different nation behaved in such a fashion, and even shut. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Good shot Megan, the USA goes to Hell!!!! MAGA”

By Trump’s logic, Rapinoe wasn’t woke when the staff gained an Olympic gold in 2012, and gained the World Cup in 2015 and 2019, however after Biden grew to become President, they have been contaminated with wokeness, and the wokeness was so highly effective, so virulent and overwhelming, it prompted them to lose?
There’s nothing, completely nothing, Rapinoe or anybody else on the staff has accomplished to deserve this stage of anti-American vitriol. Rapinoe has supported the transgender group and the motion began by Kaepernick. She is, simply, one of the vital honorable and noble athletes in American sports activities historical past. Most People get that.
“Past the World Cup title to Olympic medals, Megan is a champion for important American fact that everybody is entitled to be handled with dignity and respect,” President Joe Biden mentioned on the White Home award ceremony the place he awarded Rapinoe the medal. “She helped lead the change for maybe crucial victory for anybody on our soccer staff or any soccer staff: equal pay for girls.”
The America these individuals need is homogenous and backwards-looking. It lacks range of each individuals and thought. It’s essential to hate what they hate and infrequently the goal of that hatred are individuals of colour and the LGBTQ group.
And if somebody speaks in opposition to their one-dimensional view of the world, they’re focused, usually by individuals who cannot even outline what woke is. Or what a penalty kick is.
The staff misplaced and it’s honest to criticize them for an embarrassing stumble. However the glee over the staff shedding from individuals who contemplate themselves ultra-People, extra American than you and your woke cousin and his electrical automobile and Crocs, a lot extra American than you and your fancy vaccines, greater than you Blue State social justice warriors of Barbenheimer wokeness of all issues woke previous and current … that glee over an American staff shedding is, nicely, unpatriotic.
