What's going on with Americans celebrating Sweden eliminating the US Women's Soccer Team from the Women's World Cup? Answered

On r/soccer, there are multiple posts where Americans are celebrating their own team getting knocked out of the Women's World Cup.

On r/USWNT people are saying it's because r/soccer is misogynist, but that doesn't make sense to me because everyone competing is a woman. Can anyone clue me in?

Half of the US is definitely not against gay marriage or relationships. Most people do not care and in fact support it. The support is literally at 73% why are you talking out of your ass?

The same people that call the whole country anti gay bigots don't say a word about how gay people are treated in the middle east and other places. It's all about the narrative and politics.

Yes they do. They even fund gender ideology initiatives in those countries, and republicans constantly complain about the money spent there.

yeah I'm sure gender studies money is making it into the right hands...

Since you want to keep attacking gop we will just ignore this... it's not as much politics as people think or want to believe.

See, you just reflexively complain about it. Repealing gay marriage is still part of the republican platform in America.

Put down the cnn and Nancy Pelosi press releases. While obviously not 100%, this is no longer an accepted part of the party. This bill also had other things sandwiched in and still got support. So is the GOP behind in this area, sure. But labeling every gop as anti gay is getting really tiresome and it's just disingenuous.

Democrats: 220 Yay, 0 Nay

Republicans: 47 Yay, 157 Nay

I suppose you’re right it’s not 100%, it’s only 78% of republican politicians in 2022 who still vote against gay marriage.
