after their heartbreaking upset loss in the World Cup. I never thought I'd see the day when so many self-described “patriots” would take so much glee in seeing an American team defeated, but here we are.

Primary instigators of the online in general, and in particular, include a certain thrice-indicted former president who posted, in his long screed decrying the team.

Another high-profile hater is , who devoted an entire column to calling Rapinoe and the team “unpatriotic losers.” (Reminder: Morgan is British.) And ahead of the match, Megyn Kelly claimed she was “not rooting” for the team because of Rapinoe's past support of transgender people, Black Lives Matter, and other human rights issues. “She’s poisoned the entire team against the country for which they play,” Kelly said on her podcast. “I don’t know about you, but I’m not rooting for them.

I’m not with them. I hope they lose…. It’s shameful.”One Twitter—excuse me—X user even felt the need to drag Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn into the fray. “Almost better than Lindsey Vonn falling on her ass after criticizing Trump,” the tweet reads, over a video of Rapinoe sobbing after the loss.
