I'm not invested in soccer at all. Could care less about it.
Interesting note that you state the men's team did the same thing. I don't recall seeing it mentioned much. But because Rapinoe is this creepy, woke, America-hater, she's gotten tons of undeserved attention from the media.
IMO, if you play on a team representing your country, and your team is funded by tax dollars and donations, you shut your mouth, act grateful for the opportunity and the aforementioned funding you, and play your best damned game. If on the other hand, like Rapinoe, you want to use your access to the media the people's monies afforded you to slam the team you play for that represents us, SCREW YOU.
