US Women Take the World Cup for the Fourth Time – Fans Respond Appropriately
The US Women’s Soccer team took the world cup today for a fourth time in Lyon, France. They dominated the entire game and won 2-0 against the Netherlands. Co-captain, Megan Rapinoe scored a penalty kick followed by Rose Lavelle with a goal. Rapinoe won distinction last week earning a personal Twitter insult from Trump for daring to say she wouldn’t visit the White House if the team won the championship. Actually she said, “There’s no fucking way we’ll be invited to the White House,” citing other circumstances where sports teams turned him down for a visit, Rapinoe said that he would just claim he hadn’t invited them in the first place. Trump attacked her, even attempting to scold her for “disrespecting our country, the White House, or our flag…” completely missing the point that she’s not doing that, but defending those things by refusing to participate in the Trumpland Carnival complete with disgusting cold fast food. Good for her.
The war of words spread, and burst onto national television today on none other than Fox Noise when one of their reporters attempted to interview US fans in a sports bar in Lyon. They drowned him out with chants of “Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump!” It’s actually pretty hilarious. The video is embedded in a DeadSpin story right here:
It’s highly satisfying. An congrats to the US Women’s Soccer Team!
Fantastic! A tour of the House with AOC says CHAMPIONS.
1US Women’s Soccer Team & fans – winners
2Trump – loser (he can eat all the Big Macs himself)
Good for tbem!!! Now for the next round of salary negotiations. May they get several yrs of back pay on top of the well deserved massive raise they have worked crazy hard for.
3Rick! I’d prefer the ladies visit the WH to corner kick every scrap of food into Orange Foolius’s mouth. If they ‘accidentally’ sent the table bearing the food down IQ4.5’s throat, shit happens. Thoughts and prayers, ***king moron.
4What better way to tell Trump to kiss their @sses than to win and have a ”F*ck Trump” chant immediately follow that announcement? This post made my day!
5Great to hear the crowd in Lyon chanting, “Equal pay!”
6You go, girls.
He really just can’t stand it when women turn out to be winners. There! I’ve said it and I’m glad!
7He’ll probably decide they’re “not my type.” Lucky for them.
8You got the Rapinoe tweet wrong.
9One other point is what is it with that tiny trophy?
10Looks like a 3rd place pop warner trophy.
Mens trophy big bowl that at least 4 or 5 people can touch while lifting.
This thing looks like a sample from trophy makers.
Come on fifa is doing everything they can to demean and disparage Womens Soccer the least they could do is spring for a decent sized award.
@joel – I’m not quoting a tweet.
