US win Soccer Gold - Americans acting like last place douches on Twitter

[admartian]

America being America again. Can't you guys just go one day without being bigots? And this is after a WIN!

Obviously I'm being facetious (so don't turn your bigotry on me ) but this is rather unfortunate. Again, it's not like they lost (which would at least prvide some excuse).

I love the class of the writer/reporter:

However, it’s still important to remember that this isn’t representative of the feelings of all Americans, or even the majority of them, but rather just a subset of really stupid ones who think a soccer game is somehow connected to a war that ended over 60 years ago.

Most if not all American/western media would not have been so calssy.

The women's soccer team have all the bragging rights for now. Nothing much you can say. They won the gold and proved themselves. The U.S. did a fantastic job overall winning more medals than any other country.

No one was trying to take anything away from tehm. At all.

Read the article.

I'll find what it was in my psot that said that.





Oh here it is, my apologies:

...

Woops.

That's true. But like what I said above, nothing was said that there wasn't.

Only that this is pretty atypical of what is normally portrayed.

You specifically said "American being America", if it's not just America with idiots then what's the point of making that distinction? Instead, shouldn't it just be "stupid people being stupid people" since they're everywhere?

Only that this is pretty atypical of what is normally portrayed.

Pretty atypical? Or pretty typical?

More importantly, how much class Japanese people have for not retaliating back with social media updates about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which had a bigger body count of children, women and men. Did I mention they also had nothing to do with the war?

inb4 FUCK YEAH AMERICA

Most Americans don't feel that way about Japan. You guys are taking a soccer game and making it out to be something else. Those tweets don't represent the way Americans see Japan.

And I didn't generalize Americans in my post. No, it's true that they don't represent all of America, but they are making Americans look really bad this way. And don't get me wrong, every country has their own little shithead trolls, but in the context that this thread was posted and made, I am a little pissed off.

America won at football!?...oh wait, women's football...that's not a sport.

I see your point but you are clearly buying into the negativity with this:

They aren't making Americans look bad. They are making themselves look bad.

Ok, so someone wrote an article because of this... lame.

Lame as shit. I am closing this.

Edited after I read past the first sentence.
