Ep 491 | Why It's Patriotic to Root Against Megan Rapinoe & USWNT | Carli Lloyd BLASTS Former Team

“I’m not going to feign indifference. I want them to lose.” With a scoreless tie against a greatly inferior Portugal team, the USWNT will move on to the knockout round of the Women’s World Cup, much to the disappointment of Jason. “Portugal almost ended the American Nightmare, the band of Megan Rapinoe-led entitled women who struggle to respect our national anthem and lie about pay 'inequality.'” Whitlock lays out his case for why cheering against this team of anthem-kneeling “Karens” is the most patriotic thing a sports fan can do. “If they lose on Sunday to Sweden, I’m sure Rapinoe will figure out a way to blame sexism, systemic racism, or homophobia.” T.J.
