Counterpoint: no, that's terrible.

Or the team that everyone is getting offended for has publicly come out and said they are not offended, so nothing to apologize for and we can all move on.
Yes so crass and cruel. 🙄. You can have your opinion but judge the situation based on all facts and context. The fact that they clearly expressed their empathy by consoling their opponents and provived encouragement on Twitter exchanges shows a lot of context in the situation. I will not argue they were shy in…
Bet you have strong feelings about bat flips. too.
You can add all the hateful adjectives that you want, it does not mean the US women have to conform to what your model of acceptable behavior for them is
She scored a goal for her country in her sport’s biggest tournament. Imagine all the years of work and dreams that go into that, no matter how many times it happens. You’d be celebrating too. The Thai players recently won a match 12-0, so I think they’ll survive.
You a crybaby too. WAAAAAHHHHHH
All the arbiters of what constitutes acceptable sportsmanship are getting very old to me. They are playing a game. Let them enjoy it. If they score, let them celebrate it. What the hell is wrong with that
If the USWNT wanted to avoid negative attention they would've played in Canadian uniforms.
In what way would not celebrating a record setting performance remotely help garner attention?
Me, too. At this point I’m spamming the tweet, but did you see this? All these bros getting angry (it’s deadspin, so you know they’re mostly bros) over this shit and Thailand is just fine. Their game today was pretty good (that goal was class). I bet none these dudes watched.
Thailand had zero problems with it.
Don’t worry, he’s got more.
This is the dumbest take.
OH MY GOD SHE CLAPPED! THINK OF THE OPPONENTS! ETHICS IN GOALSCORING! THEY’RE CELEBRATING! ACT LIKE YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE!!!
Honestly. As we all know, the only proper way for a woman to react upon accomplishing something great is to immediately apologize and abase herself on the pitch.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help overhearing. Did you say “psychics”? I’m Shawn Spencer and this is my partner, Whispers Onomatopoeia. How can we be of help?”
I’m gonna clue you in on something: nobody cares about this either. Nobody’s going to remember the celebrations, it’s just people who who are desperate for validation. 99.99% of these people don’t even know women’s soccer exists if the year ends in an odd number.
Because acting “classy” in that situation ensures you aren’t an asshole. Get over yourself and your overvalued sense of what sportsmanship is.
