The woke America-hating U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team was eliminated from gold medal contention but that doesn’t mean they’re coming home losers. They still have the adoration from legions of sports-hating anti-American wokesters, which is the same thing as being a champion for liberals.
The NY Post reports the USWNT is now kneeling in defeat:
All 39 years of Carli Lloyd squatted to the ground, her head in her hands in disbelief that the march for gold was over.
Megan Rapinoe approached her and patted her back, so much meaning and history baked into one moment.
“We’ve been in this a long time together. We’re both closer to the end than the beginning. We’ve shared a lot of those happy moments on the field and not many sad moments, but we’ve had a few,” said Rapinoe.
They experienced one more sad moment – likely the last on the Olympic stage – in a 1-0 loss to Canada in the semifinal match Monday night at Ibaraki Kashima Stadium, knocking them out of contention for gold.
The USWNT, the reigning World Cup champs, have failed to reach the final game in back-to-back Olympics, having fallen to Sweden in 2016 and now Canada after a second-half penalty kick from Jessie Fleming.
They lost 1-0? Maybe they shouldn’t have boycotted scoring goals until racism is ended in America.
The U.S. women can still play for the Bronze medal but it doesn’t seem like they are all that enthusiastic about it:
“It’s not the color we want. But there’s still a medal on the line,” said Rapinoe.
Rejecting something because of color? They should take a knee against themselves before they blow the third-place game.
These woke Olympics have been a ratings disaster but at least the non-sports fans of the left were still watching. That is until now. The America-haters of the USWNT crapped out and so did transgender darling Laurel Hubbard. The NY Post also reports:
Laurel Hubbard’s groundbreaking Olympics debut didn’t quite go as planned.
Hubbard, who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics, was eliminated after failing to record a single lift in three attempts in Monday’s over-87-kilogram super-heavyweights.
The New Zealand native missed her first lift, at 120 kg in the snatch, with the bar going over her head and behind her back. The judges then ruled against her second attempt, at 125 kg. Her third attempt, also at 125 kg, also resulted in the bar going over her head, resulting in an unceremonious end to her competition.
Imagine cheating at a sport so badly that a man is participating in women’s competition and still got his ass kicked.
It wasn’t all bad news for the woke mob. At least one America-hater found a bit of success:
Fox News reports:
Raven Saunders’ “X” gesture during the shot-put medals ceremony at the Tokyo Olympics “was respectful of her competitors and did not violate our rules related to demonstration,” the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) said Monday.
Saunders won silver with a mark of 19.79. She finished just behind China’s Gong Lijao (20.58) and just ahead of New Zealand’s Valerie Adams (19.62).
During the photo op at her medals ceremony, Saunders stepped off the podium, lifted her arms above her head and formed an “X’ with her wrists.
Saunders, who is openly gay, has often wondered if the Olympics could live up to the mission of diversity.
“It’s the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet,” Saunders explained of her protest.
Well we knew it wasn’t the intersection where gold medal Olympic champions meet.
This is what happens when liberals ruin sports. Winning takes a back seat to social justice bullshit and the end result is underwhelming participation trophies. For too many American Olympics athletes, representing their country and kicking ass aren’t as important as bitching and moaning about the terrible state of their privileged lives.
