For some Americans, it has become easier to root against the USWNT than to actually cheer for them given that many players on the team have become more political activists than soccer players over the last few years.
Anyone paying even the slightest attention to soccer in America recognizes that many USWNT squad members have been pushing a woke, anti-American message. Those in the media know this as well but have been too afraid to mention it with fear of being canceled.

At the end of every week in the fall, Matt LaFleur has his quarterbacks—not just the starter, but all of them—go through the offensive plays in the game plan and rank them. It’s an exercise done chiefly to make sure he, as a play-caller, is aware of what his quarterbacks are comfortable with, and what they’re not. And so came a big moment for Jordan Love.
Love was the backup in the Packers’ Sunday night showdown in Philly last November after Aaron Rodgers injured his ribs on the team’s first possession of the fourth quarter.

Multiple goals from Messi, including a stunning free kick, help Miami advance in the Leagues Cup
Inter Miami CF squared off with Dallas FC in Round of 16 of the Leagues Cup on Sunday night. It was just Lionel Messi’s fourth game with the club.
And Miami would need every little bit of Messi Magic to advance.
Miami topped Dallas in the match thanks to a penalty shootout, thanks in large part to a pair of goals from Messi during the first 90 minutes that enabled a Miami comeback, forcing the match to penalty kicks.
England narrowly avoided one of the biggest upsets in Women’s World Cup history with a win over Nigeria in a tense penalty-kick shootout
After a goalless 120 minutes in the round of 16, England advanced to the quarterfinals by converting its final four penalty kicks after the usually reliable Georgia Stanway missed the first. Nigeria, meanwhile, missed its first two from the spot that doomed its efforts from the start of the shootout. Just like in England’s European triumph last year, Chloe Kelly played the hero with the winning tally.
The USA suffered their earliest ever exit from the Women’s World Cup after defeat to Sweden, a result that signalled the end of an era
Things are not going as planned in the Angels’ race to make the playoffs, keep Shohei Ohtani.
It was somewhat disappointing to see Aaron Donald standing next to practice dummies instead of knocking them backwards at the start of the Rams’ Sunday practice in Irvine, Calif.
That signified that the All-Pro defensive lineman had a rest day, one of many veterans who got the day off. Also, wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been sidelined the past week with a hamstring injury.
Initially, I beat myself up for choosing to visit the Rams—the fifth stop on my nine-team training camp tour—on a day so many veterans were in shorts and T-shirts.
Lionel Messi scored a pair of vintage goals to lead Inter Miami CF in a stunning comeback win over FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup on Sunday in Frisco, Texas.
Every time Lionel Messi suits up for Inter Miami, magic seems to follow. During Sunday night’s Leagues Cup clash against fellow MLS side FC Dallas, Messi took matters into his own hands late into the second half to equalize the score at four goals apiece.
Inter Miami was trailing 4–3 in the 85th minute when they were awarded a free kick. Messi took a long-range shot that was placed inch-perfect into the top left corner of the net, beating the outstretched arms of Dallas goaltender Maarten Paas.
Yankees reliever Keynan Middleton has been with the organization for less than a week, but it seems he’s noticed some stark differences in how things operate in the Bronx compared to that of his former team, the White Sox.
Middleton was acquired by New York in a trade with Chicago at MLB’s trade deadline.
Speaking with ESPN’s Jesse Rogers on Sunday, Middleton detailed the White Sox’ “no rules” culture, including a tidbit about a rookie pitcher who fell asleep in the bullpen on multiple occasions.
