I’m done with the U.S. women’s World Cup soccer team. You would think members of a team representing their country would sing the national anthem and maybe hold their hands over their hearts. But for players to stand silent with hands behind their backs is a national disgrace. It’s pretty obvious they have no respect for the United States.

I think they should all sign up to play for some other country and take their disrespect and anti-American attitude someplace where they might fit in.
