That was a bridge too far,&#8221; Kelly continued. &#8220;They couldn&#8217;t be\u2062 bothered to\u200b actually place their \u2062hand on their heart as the national\u200b anthem played, as they stood out there representing you and me and the country and our military and\u200c people who have given their\u200d lives for the\u2064 country that they represent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Conservative commentator\u2064 Emily Jashinsky joined Kelly in criticizing the team&#8217;s behavior, stating that it reflects a larger\u2064 cultural issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It has come from [Megan] Rapinoe, and it&#8217;s not just the culture \u2064of the team,&#8221; Jashinsky explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s a culture of the team that&#8217;s reflecting the culture of younger Americans, and\u2064 it&#8217;s \u2063really disrespectful to people\u2064 who put their lives \u2062on the\u200d line for the country. I \u2064think: Why are you even playing on the team? Like it gets to this incoherence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jashinsky further questioned the players&#8217; motives, suggesting that they desire \u200cthe benefits that come with being part\u2062 of the team but don&#8217;t truly\u2063 want to represent their country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;They want the money,\u200c they want the \u2062power, or the acclaim that comes with being a\u2063 part of the team, but they actually don&#8217;t want to represent the country,&#8221; Jashinsky \u200cadded. &#8220;Like to me, that doesn&#8217;t make any sense whatsoever. Don&#8217;t go on \u200cthe team if you&#8217;re ashamed\u200c and embarrassed of the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kelly agreed with Jashinsky, emphasizing that the players missed an incredible opportunity\u200b to\u200c proudly represent the\u200d United\u2063 States in World Cup soccer.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It \u2062was too much of an effort, you see, \u200dto place their hand over their heart or, God forbid, sing,&#8221; Kelly expressed. \u2063&#8221;And \u2062by the way, Megan \u2064Rapinoe, \u200btoo. She&#8217;s on the team. She announced her retirement. &#8230; She said she&#8217;ll never stand again for the national anthem. This [team behavior] is clearly, I think, as a result of her influence, \u2063and it&#8217;s\u200c disgusting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The U.S. women&#8217;s team emerged victorious with a 3-0 win against Vietnam on Friday\u200b and \u2064is set to face the Netherlands on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to\u2064 read more \u200bfrom The Washington \u2064Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megyn Kelly criticized the U.S. women&#8217;s soccer team for their disrespectful behavior during the national anthem at the FIFA Women&#8217;s World Cup.
