Earlier in the Olympics, the entire USWNT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-womens-soccer-team-takes-stunning-loss-after-kneeling-for-blm-before-olympic-opener\">knelt<\/a> for the anthem before losing to Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHappiest people on planet Earth today? I\u2019m guessing not the shareholders of Victoria\u2019s Secret, where Megan Rapinoe will now have tons of free time to rep the brand!\u201d conservative author Ann Coulter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnnCoulter\/status\/1422276927193292804\">tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tablet Magazine\u2019s Noam Blum <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/neontaster\/status\/1422164589207298048\">remarked<\/a>: \u201coh the soccer team lost? what a shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll say this again \u2013 I think people who aren\u2019t proud of this country shouldn\u2019t be barred from representing it internationally. They just shouldn\u2019t expect their country to root for them,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/neontaster\/status\/1422182945134157825\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Evangelist Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham, said that the USWNT loss was predictable and likely due to the focus its players put on \u201cpolitical wokeness\u201d rather than playing the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe US women\u2019s Olympic soccer team lost to Canada for the 1st time in 20 yrs, &amp; I think a lot of people saw it coming. It seems they\u2019ve lost their focus &amp; instead became more focused on political wokeness &amp; using the Olympic stage to promote their agendas,\u201d Graham <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Franklin_Graham\/status\/1422359561986617349\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Radio host Clay Travis made a similar point and added that many Americans were gladdened, or at least unbothered, by the loss because of the amount of \u201cwoke\u201d messaging the team has pushed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe US Women\u2019s Soccer team just lost to Canada and many enjoyed the loss. In 2015 the US women were one of the most popular teams in American history. What happened? Woke sports destroys everything it touches,\u201d Travis <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClayTravis\/status\/1422206061856104451\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe US women had a golden opportunity to wax eloquent about American exceptionalism on a global stage. After all, one primary reason our women dominate soccer is because most women around the world lack basic human rights. Instead, they ripped America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of holding America up to the world as a shining example of equality &amp; opportunity for women around the world, they tore us down. Many American sports fans will never forget this. The result? I\u2019ve never seen a team squander more love &amp; goodwill in my life as a sports fan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Team captain Megan Rapinoe, arguably the most high-profile player on the team, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rapinoe-gets-emotional-after-olympic-loss-bitter-one-to-swallow-dont-think-ive-ever-lost-to-canada\">lamented<\/a> the team\u2019s loss after the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s terrible. We just didn\u2019t have it today,\u201d she said. \u201cJust too many errors from us again. I felt like space was there for us to play and we just couldn\u2019t get into it, too many touches or, you know, an errant touch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s football. They got, I think, one shot on goal, a PK, and from what it sounds like it was a PK. So yeah, it\u2019s a bitter one to swallow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Upset: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/upset-u-s-womens-soccer-loses-to-canada-ending-shot-at-gold\">U.S. Women\u2019s Soccer Loses To Canada, Ending Shot At Gold<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
