Political commentator Megyn Kelly blasted U.S. soccer player Megan Rapinoe for being a “moron” who “poisoned the entire team against the country.”
“These morons on the women’s soccer team continue to embarrass us on the national stage,” Kelly said bluntly.
The domination of U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) came to an abrupt end as the team lost to Sweden in the 2023 World Cup. The team has won four FIFA Women’s World Cups (1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019), four Olympic gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012), and eight CONCACAF Gold Cups.

In 2019, U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe made headlines for saying she’ll “probably never sing the National Anthem again.” Rapinoe previously kneeled during the National Anthem in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s protest against America. She also said that she would “never put my hand over my heart” during the playing of the National Anthem.
Before their opening 2023 FIFA match, the entire team passionately sang Vietnam’s national anthem called “Song of a Marching Army. All eleven athletes sang in unison with their right hands proudly held over their hearts.
In stark contrast, the team remained silent during the playing of the U.S. National Anthem. Six of the 11 American soccer players refused to place their right hand on their hearts during the “Star Spangled Banner.”
Two-time Olympic gold medalist and retired soccer star Hope Solo says Rapinoe bullied her teammates into disrespecting the National Anthem.
“Megan Rapinoe, she’s the leader of all this,” Kelly said. “She didn’t make the team exactly. She’s on the team, but she’s on the sidelines. She’s not a starter, so that’s why she’s not on camera when they’re doing the national anthem. But she’s behind a lot of this.”
“She’s poisoned the entire team against the country for which they play. And I don’t know about you, but I’m watching this team, I’m not rooting for them. I’m not with them. I hope they lose … It’s shameful. These girls are shameful. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.’”
“They won’t sing the national anthem. Half of them won’t put their hands over their hearts,” she said. “Even the ones who are singing are half-a**ing it. They clearly don’t want to be doing it. I mean, they look like they don’t even want to be there. It’s like it’s some sort of inconvenience to be representing the USA.” (Trending: Trump Releases ‘Ad of the Year’)
Many fans reacted positively when Rapinoe announced that she is retiring at the end of this season. Rapinoe missed a penalty kick that sailed high over the net in their loss against Sweden.
“Team USA’s downfall was delivered by anti-America, anti-woman activist Megan Rapinoe’s EMBARRASSING free kick here,” political commentator Benny Johnson said.

“Her hatred of America and embrace of the radical trans assault on women’s sports made them harder to root for. But many teammates did not share her poisonous views. They fought hard and deserve our thanks,” another person said.
“Couldn’t have woken up to better news! Better no team represent me than this deplorable bunch,” one person added.

Unfortunately, critics say the team has a history of controversial behavior during the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Many members of the team have kneeled in the past prior to their match.
