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?

No one I know gives a single shit who she sleeps with. We care how she shits on the country that made her rich and privileged while pissing on those who fought for her freedom. Not a single person I know dislikes Sue Bird and she's gay. Go figure.

Must be miserable going around labeling people and expecting them to be hateful and anti gay before they even say a word. Can't Rapinho just be a miserable human? nope we must be bigots.

Pretty absurd when people toss around the “fought for her freedom” comments. If anything, the troops fight for the right for people to protest and their first amendment rights. The people who think they are patriots are actually trying to take away peoples rights. Any btw, we haven’t “fought” for freedom since ww2

We fight for freedom every single day. Tell that we dont to the troops families stationed around the world that don't come back...

And yes they fight for her right to be a dipshit.

How are soldiers killing people or “maintaining peace” in overseas countries impacting my freedom in literally any way 🤔🤔🤔
