US women’s soccer team’s political stance risks making them insignificant: Alexi Lalas.

Retired Soccer Player Warns ​of Potential Irrelevance ⁤for U.S. Women’s National⁢ Team

Renowned ⁤soccer player turned Fox Sports analyst, Alexi Lalas, has expressed ​concern over the ⁤U.S. ⁢women’s national team‘s recent loss at the FIFA⁢ World ⁤Cup, suggesting that it puts them at risk of “becoming irrelevant.”

In response to a user’s comment on X (formerly known as Twitter), Lalas highlighted the team’s “polarizing”⁢ politics, which ⁤he believes have made them “unlikeable.” This sentiment arose after a group ‌of players refused to sing the‍ national ⁤anthem during ​Sunday’s game.

“Don’t kill the ‍messenger. This⁤ #USWNT is polarizing,” Lalas posted. “Politics, ‌causes, stances, & behavior have⁢ made this ⁣team unlikeable to ‌a‌ portion of America. ⁣This team has built its ⁤brand and has derived its ⁣power from being the ⁢best/winning. If that goes away they risk becoming irrelevant.”

Former President Trump Weighs In

Former‍ President Donald Trump also⁣ voiced⁤ his ‍opinion on the ‌matter, taking to​ Truth Social to ⁤assert that the team’s lack of respect for their nation ultimately cost them the game.

In fact, she⁤ was ‍honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom ​last year. Rapinoe has previously announced that this year’s⁤ World Cup would be ⁢her final appearance.
