Of the 11 women, only\u2064 four \u2064sang along with the anthem. All six men, on the other hand, \u200clooked to be singing.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the women, in fact, appeared expressionless and unmoved. Only five bothered to place hands over their hearts. The others gave an impression \u200bof casual indifference or even disdain.<\/p>\n<p>The women&#8217;s stoic display occurred prior to the team&#8217;s first \u2063match \u200dat the ongoing Women&#8217;s World Cup. The\u2064 Americans went on\u200c to defeat Vietnam 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>Another video of a U.S. \u2063men&#8217;s soccer\u2064 match heightens the contrast in behavior. Prior to their game against Wales at the 2022 Men&#8217;s World Cup, all 11 starters sang the anthem.<\/p>\n<h3>Context Matters<\/h3>\n<p>Should the women feel shamed by\u200c the contrast?<\/p>\n<p>Without context, this kind\u200d of scrutiny might\u200b seem harsh. After all, singing along with the national anthem does not in itself make one virtuous. Many people prefer silence\u2062 and reflection to demonstrative patriotism perceived as \u2063obligatory.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, however, context means everything.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. women&#8217;s national soccer team rates as one\u200b of the most accomplished units in the\u2063 history of \u2063international competition. A first-round draw with the Netherlands on Wednesday represented the\u200d team&#8217;s\u2063 first non-victory in World Cup play \u2064since 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The team&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/video-compares-us-womens-world-cup-teams-national-anthem-behavior-to-us-mens\/\" title=\"Video compares behavior during national anthem of US Women's World Cup team to US Men's.\">dominance dates\u200c back\u2062 decades<\/a>; Americans of a certain age will recall the legendary\u200c 1999 \u200dWomen&#8217;s World Cup champions. Led by the\u2062 iconic Brandi Chastain, that team emerged as one of the most popular in U.S. sports history.<\/p>\n<p>Young woke scolds, therefore, can check any accusations of sexism at the door.<\/p>\n<h3>Megan\u2064 Rapinoe&#8217;s \u200bInfluence<\/h3>\n<p>Many Americans \u2062hold the current U.S. women&#8217;s soccer team in low esteem thanks\u200d in large part to longtime winger Megan Rapinoe, whose highly publicized antics have\u200c included kneeling \u200cfor the national anthem. In fact, \u2064former goalkeeper Hope \u200dSolo\u200c recalled that Rapinoe often bullied teammates into \u200bjoining those Colin Kaepernick-inspired protests.<\/p>\n<p>A non-starter on the current World Cup team, Rapinoe nonetheless appears to wield continued influence. One hopes that someday she will learn to \u200bappreciate the country she has long represented with such misplaced bitterness.<\/p>\n<p>One \u2062also hopes that\u200d her impending retirement will usher in a new era of gratitude and humility in U.S. women&#8217;s \u2063soccer.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-compares-us-womens-world-cup-teams-national-anthem-behavior-us-mens\/\">Video Compares US Women&#8217;s World\u2064 Cup Team&#8217;s National \u200dAnthem Behavior to US Men&#8217;s<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US women&#8217;s soccer team faces criticism for their perceived disrespect during the national anthem.
