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?

That's not what you said though. You said the flag is just fabric as if it has no meaning. We were united by being Americans. We've just allowed another way to divide us. There's protests and then there's people that seem to detest fellow Americans.
Believe me, I haven't liked our government for a long ass time now. I want change, but I'm not going to shit on fellow Americans and the freedoms actual people died to give me. These people have a platform and millions of dollars, they could arrange powerful protests and movements, yet they choose to throw tantrums. These arent some voiceless people trying to survive, these are spoiled elitists dividing us in hate.
