Transcript
- 0:00We got a question for American mama. Dear mama, do you think the
- 0:02US women's soccer team will now start to focus more on playing soccer and less
- 0:06on playing the victim? Well, let's ask our American mama, Mama and
- 0:24joining us now our American mama, Terry Naderville. Over the weekend, the
- 0:28United States was knocked out of the Women's World Cup in penalty kicks. This
- 0:35is the earliest that the women's team has ever been knocked out of the Women's
- 0:40World Cup. They're usually winning the World Cups or at least coming in like
- 0:44the third place game. But over the weekend, zero zero tie led to
- 0:49penalty kicks against Sweden, and the US is going home. Now, I'm
- 0:56assuming you didn't watch the game. I did not. I did not.
- 1:00I'm a huge soccer fan. I haven't watched a single one of the games
- 1:03of the women's I always have before, and you know, you know,
- 1:06my summer she played soccer grown up. So we saw when they won in
- 1:10twenty fifteen and when they won again in twenty nineteen, and we were just
- 1:12as thrilled as we could be, as incredible. I've not been interested in
- 1:15this one, and I'll tell you why. I think that Meghan Rappino has
- 1:23been one of the worst things that's ever happened to this team because she went
- 1:27so woke, she went so anti America that people lost interest in watching them.
- 1:34When you watch them standing for the national national anthem and she's kneeling,
- 1:38she's kneeling, and a player right next to her, who happens to be
- 1:42black, is standing with her hand over her heart. You start going,
- 1:45mean, why are you kneeling? Yeah, she's a virtue signaler, and
- 1:49it became about that. I think that became her focus. I think it
- 1:51became a huge distraction for the team. But online it's interesting because I have
- 1:57another soccer mom friend who got on there and her husband's military, and she
- 2:00was kind of she's ashamed of everybody for the negative things that they're saying about
- 2:06the team, right, And so I decided not to engage because I thought,
- 2:09you know, it's not worth it. I get her point was,
- 2:13these girls have worked so hard, they practiced so hard, right, and
- 2:16somebody so later on that night, I went back to our pace just to
- 2:19see if anybody say anything. She had a lot of people said, I
- 2:21agree with you, I agree with you, and I get it. These
- 2:23girls have worked so hard. The problem is, and somebody said it on
- 2:27there, they said, he said, listen, when you are so anti
- 2:30America and you cannot even put your hand over your heart when the anthem is
- 2:36played, while you have that American jersey on and you're representing us, and
- 2:40you said the most godful things about this country, you lose me, you
- 2:45lose my support, you lose my interest. I don't care. And she
- 2:49came back and said, well, it's not mandated, you don't have and
- 2:52that he said, it's beside the point, right, And it is.
- 2:55It is beside the point because patriotism is obviously not mandated. Love of countries
- 3:00not mandate. You can't mandate love. Love is a choice. But the
- 3:05thing is, as if you are supposed to be representing the United States of
- 3:07America and you make the choice not to love the country enough to put your
- 3:13hand over your heart, why should I root for you. It's disgusting to
- 3:15me. And I'm thinking about all of these young women who would give anything,
- 3:22anything in this world to put on that jersey and play for American path
- 3:24their hand over their heart and sing you know this team. I'm not trying
- 3:29to shame them, but they got They lost to a fifteen year old high
- 3:31school team a few years ago. Tea yea yeah, And so you know,
- 3:37there are a lot of women that could have got You know, mc
- 3:38Meghan Rapino was on the sideline. I think her she went in for that
- 3:44final kick, right, So she goes in, oh man, And honestly,
- 3:47as bad as all of the virtue signally has done, as bad as
- 3:51the fact that the women's team is actually being subsidized by the men's team and
- 3:54they call that equal, I find that interesting. But she goes up what
- 4:00was as an athlete, as a as a competitor. This was more offensive
- 4:04to me than anything else she's done. I know what you're gonna say.
- 4:08She goes up, she kicks her penalty kick and she skies, it goes
- 4:12over the bar. Missus, it sank. Now, there's no shame in
- 4:15making a mistake and making it. I've seen some of the greatest players in
- 4:19the history of the sport. Roberto Baggio had his team from Italy eliminated from
- 4:24the he lost against Brazil in nineteen ninety because Roberto Boggio put his shot way
- 4:29over the top of the bar right but it was the reaction after the failure.
- 4:32I know you're going to say that that Smileggio went to his knee crying.
- 4:39Megan Rapino turned around and laughed, Yeah, she's not smiled. I
- 4:43had to watch it three times because I thought was she cringing? Was she
- 4:47crying? Because sometimes that can be distorted. She was smiling, Like gosh,
- 4:50dang it, what did I do? She said in the post interview.
- 4:55It was like a cruel joke. Yeah. No, it wasn't a
- 4:59joke. It wasn't a Nobody was playing a joke on you. You missed
- 5:02the shot. You let down your team. And by missing that shot,
- 5:05that one shot, you got the team kicked out of the World Cup.
- 5:10And if you think about this, Okay, after they won in twenty fifteen
- 5:14and they went to the White House and it's just glorious. In twenty nineteen,
- 5:17Trump extended that invitation and Megan Rapino was like, we're not going there,
- 5:21and so the whole team did not go. And I feel like that
- 5:25she is the one who spearheaded the culture that is now what they are,
- 5:30and they have lost so much support, so many fans. What I'm praying
- 5:33for is now that she's out of there and that kind of you know how
- 5:36that toxicity that can come in and poison everything. Now, yeah, remove
- 5:42that. We can get back to who we are and representing our country with
- 5:46your hand on your heart, singing as loud as you can for all of
- 5:49us. It's not about you, Megan, it's not about you guys.
- 5:53It is about who you're representing. And if we get some people back on
- 5:56that team, a new generation of players who actually want to play for their
- 5:59country with all the heart and all their soul, I'll probably watch a game
- 6:01again, say
