Pearl Harbor Twitter Row After US World Cup Win

Source. Keeping it classy with hyperbolic patriotism, racism, and lack of education! What great sportsmanship indeed.

Argh Americans

I'm happy to see that I can still feel surprised about current events. Also, I'm glad all those people will now feel at peace for dishing our damage equal to Pearl Harbor by winning a football match.

What US world cup win? Lol, didn't the US get kicked out in the first round after the group stage? Acting like North Korea here.

Another victory for the U.S.

Stupid people say stupid stuff.

Sometimes I'm embarrassed by some of the Citizens of this Nation I call home.

I'd be snarky but I'm danish and out recent election did'nt paint my people in a better light.

well obviously that's just tacky.

why couldn't they have kept it classy and just said japans ass is more sore than an american honeymooner? gawd y'all. be more sensitive why don'tcha.

Eh, it's been done before

No worries.....stupid people exist all over the world.

And that idiocy still hasn't been culled? Disgusting...

Well, it's the women world cup that explains it

What does them being women have to do with anything?

@airshocker: the quality of the game is much lower than mens. Most countries don't put much effort or money into their women's teams.

@BossPerson: I blame Muslims and their subjugation of women

What you mean culled? Eradicated? Not as long there is free will. So some people made some offensive Tweets and others re-tweeted them and favorited them. This was in the 1000's. Even if 20,000 participated in this that would represent 20,000/300,000,000 x (100)= 6.66 x10^-3 % of the population.

What are you, new to human behavior?

How is the female game much lower quality than the male games?

Men are just physically better than woman and have better training, resources, and coaching. The US women's team faced a team of 17 year old boys a few years ago and lost 8-2.

@airshocker: less clever plays, their passes connect much less, they can't control the ball as well, etc

They could still mop the floor with most men, but they dont play anywhere near the quality of the actual men's teams.

And how does that change the fact that they won against other females? It doesn't.

Okay, so what does it matter if they're playing against other females? I don't see how that somehow diminishes their victory.

@airshocker: it doesn't dimish their victory. But Gaza was explaining to Major why nobody cared about the women's world cup. And I was saying that nobody cares about it (around the world generally) because nobody cares to watch it because it's of lower quality.

Thank you for downplaying a bunch of mentally deficient loudmouths. What are you, devil's advocate? Not even sure what this has to do with free will. The freedom to be a moronic ****, referencing something that happened a number of decades ago (and for which there actually was revenge in the form of overkill) for no reason? Either way, they are getting called out on it: Poor sportsmanship, idiocy, and making the rest of the US look bad.

Yeah, I'm not so sure that's what he was actually doing. I see what you are saying, though.

Because racism in sports only happens in America.

Alot, as as of now the topic title is completely incorrect.

It doesn't. It was not a world cup victory however.

Perhaps I over-looked or just didn't see it it but where was the racism?

@BossPerson:

ah, the down-playing attempt. It was an honest victory and the American women are the best at soccer, plain and simple.

Haven't seen the article, but there are stupid people in every country, and it will be more pronounced in a country of over 300 million, and I'm sure there are plenty of them in India and China as well, but it's kept under wraps there.

wtf are you talking about, i didnt deny that.

The fact is though, nobody gives a rats ass about women's soccer. That's why its being hosted in fucking Canada

Foolish comments being made on the internet? In other news, water is wet.

So now, you think it's a good reason to insult Canada? Just curious to know what country you're from to be in an insulting mood?

@jun_aka_pekto: Canada. I'm not insulting it (maybe a little), just pointing out the fact that if it is going to host an event which it is famously bad at, it must be one of the lower tiered events.

My bad.

I don't see how hosting it could be a bad thing when the US hosted the FIFA World Cup in 1994 when the USMNT was really terrible. I cheered them on. But, I knew they were going to lose sooner or later. He He.

I found watching the Women's World Cup more enjoyable. They made the men look shameful because women tended to dive a lot less. The acting and diving in FIFA Men's are getting old.

It's still shameful to have some stupid hick making these comments. Ya just want to slap the guy silly.

It is true that no one really cares about women's football. It's no where near as big of a deal.

Every reasonable person knows that these people aren't representative for the entire country, so don't worry about it.

I suspect everyone will get over this and the world, through some miracle, will move on. Till then, cheers. Here's to making non news news ya salty twats.

That is fucking hilarious.

I thought the same thing.

Indeed. Who would have guessed TWITter would be full of twits?

+10

classy people being classy. Still, I'm not about to take a couple of stupid tweets as evidence of american stupidity.

People are fucking stupid. Did these idiots forget that the US atom bombed them? Some Americans are just plain stupid.

I guess the BBC will soon be writing articles about Gamespot OT threads. That's the next logical progression from dredging up tweets.

It's not really that "hilarious" as the USWNT regularly schedules matches against teenage boy teams in order to push themselves physically and mentally. They are mostly scrimmage meets for hardcore coach training, but they are regularly broken down into full on game sessions which the boys generally win due to their superior speed and physical strength. It's just good training all around and part of the reason why the Women's U.S. team always ranks highly with the added result of the women's soccer being more popular than the men's.

That would be lulzy.

About 25 million people watched(US ratings) I think the global ratings wasn't to shabby either.
