Their political activism didn't seem to affect them when they won the World Cup in 2019 against the best competition in the world. So maybe it's something else.
It could be that this team is old and getting out-hustled on the field. The adage "Father Time is undefeated in athletic competition" seems to be holding true.


You don't think their political activism has increased since 2019? Seems to me they spent a lot of 2020 on election related promotions and activism and less on the playing field.

But their aging is also not unrelated to politics - you think they could leave Rapinoe or anyone else off the team if they were a step slower without major blowback. Don't think for a second these ladies don't know that. They've made their position on the team a political hot point.

The ladies, unlike the men, depend on the USNT salary for 100% of their money usually. That changes their motivations. imho

Lots of virtue signaling over a socialist country beating the USWNT.
It looks like someone is upset that the bunch of U.S.-hating, racist, POSs lost. We don't care who it is too. We're just happy there's no gold. I do feel bad for any woman on the team pressured to toe the woke party line.


By the standards of this board, if you celebrate Canada winning you celebrate Canada's socialism. Enjoy.

I'm still flying high on our USMNT's C-team beating Mexico last night.

That's weird cuz last week when I told you women's sports suck and I was watching the Gold Cup instead you said:


Quote:

"Let's not act like the USMNT c team has been playing quality soccer in the Gold Cup. It's been fun but it's been painful at times."


So you called them the "c" team and downplayed the whole thing.

Unlike the women's team this team did not let labels go to their heads - they didn't care if they were labelled as the C team because they were not the top (euro club) players and just went out and competed.

I'm glad I watched all of the Gold cup and ZERO of the Olympic women getting their ass handed to them twice.

Suck it ladies.



Just about everyone has called them the c-team. Chill out.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

The C team beat one of Mexico's strongest teams. They lost Nations League final they wanted this Gold Cup...You know very little of soccer.

yeah...and you had to repeat it as you meh'ed them instead of just enjoying it for what it was. As I was.

But now you're celebrating them. Interesting.

My positions have not changed.


Women's sports suck and the USWNT making things political just makes them infinitely more unwatchable.

Cutting or retiring Rapinoe would single-handedly improve the image of the USWMNT. She's a militant, left wing cancer and is the sole reason half their fan base has disappeared. I bet most of that team is desperate for her to go away.

I love it. Way to go Canada!!! USWNT should take their $10,000 stipends and say thank you. They aren't even worth that much.

You don't get to tell us what the standards of this board are. Nor do you get to tell us what it is we're celebrating.

We're celebrating a team full of leftist America-hating ****s getting their leftist America-hating asses kicked by a team with a trany on it. It's that simple. **** the US women's soccer team.

Wouldn't surprise me if it comes out later that there was discord in the locker room.

I can't believe all those players share her outlook. It's gotta be exhausting to watch her complain about equal pay, BLM, etc., while she gets all the attention ... and the endorsement deals.

When I see a 12 page thread about freaking soccer on the politics board, I just take it as another sign that this country is dead.

That's funny because this entire thread is people telling those that watch and support the USWNT what we believe and support. Seems like a little "Good for thee but no me."

We aren't telling you what you believe. We are telling you what you support. There's a difference.

You can believe whatever you want. That doesn't change the consequence of your actions.

I don't support those things. Watching them play soccer has absolutely no impact on anything.

She got a Ballon Dor out of it which was a joke.

Then she complained that Messi (the male (aka legit) winner) wasn't speaking out on women's issues. That dude is about as non-political as it gets and is the epitome of a nice guy. She must have realized that she came off as an ass, because she had to come out later and clarify that she wasn't demanding that she get Messi's $674M contract.

You obviously care way too much about politics then. I'm assuming the only thing you actually do for politics is vote once a year?

Seems like the wokeness got in the way of properly developing their talent pool.

Corporations going woke are the ones that care too much about politics, we just react to it.

The game stops when they do, not vice versa.
It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.

says the guy on the politics board arguing about how much he cares about politics.


and it's impossible to escape the politics even though most sports fans would prefer to just watch a game.they made it that way. not us the viewer.

So they've smartly avoided playing the 16 year old boys team for the past 2 years?
