"Greatness has been found"

[koalabear]

The US women's soccer team have been criticized before for not being good sports. New Zealand's coach had a few choice words for their choreographed victory dances.

Now they are being called out for the shirts they chose to wear on the field after taking the gold from Japan in a close 2-1 bout,

The ladies had some Nike T-shirts (pictured above) that read "Greatness has been found" that were made for them in case they won. After the final second ticked away, they donned the shirts and ran across the field carrying American flags.

Well, that's the most interesting thing I've heard about soccer. I can't really blame them. These are highly competitive people and they all take victory laps different ways.

If that hurts your feelings, perhaps you shouldn't be in sports. It's part of the deal that someone who wins, celebrates.

I'd prefer "I kicked the world's ass and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" but what the hell, give it to 'em.

I do prefer grace in victory, but we can't pretend that's what we're always going to get.

Man I would have had a whole song and dance routine planned out. Not all of us a Micheal "I'll put next to the other twenty" Phelps. Some need to make sure this one moment lives on forever.

They could blame the weather, like the beach volleyball teams did.

There should be an international law enforced by the Hague that includes jail time for any showing of any celebration after winning anything. The petite flowers on the losing side feel bad about losing anyway. It harms there self esteem to see the other team being happy they won a match where all knew there would be only one winner. The Hague should also outlaw the big "We're #1" foam fingers because it might hurt the losing team's fan's feelings. In fact, there should be a rule that say's all athletes and fans must remain silent during the entire game except at the end were the winners can apologize to losers for hurting their feelings.

I know this sounds absurd but it seems that we are all on the road to getting there.

The t-shirts were in reference to the orgy they had with me.

Duh.

 

[blobfish]

Are the T-shirts referencing the movie "Invictus" or the 1995 rugby World Cup?

Well as ridiculous as this statement is, it's the most positive thing on this thread full of nothing. Go fantasies! Think positive! That's cool.

A massive naked sex orgy of female volleyball players -- or male, if that is how you swing -- that is cool.

Why is the OP complaining about some fucking sports team? really? Who fucking cares. Turn off your TV, go post on Fagbook where nobody has to listen to your whining except the poor idiots who agreed to be your friends.

None of those words appear in the poem.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I dont get all the celebrating, they didnt win anything, someone else did their winning.

No, I meant the movie with Morgan Freeman.

I love that poem, by the way.

It's the only poem I ever bothered to memorize.

Helped me when I had migraines.

I don't think I have any poem fully memorized, unless you count "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".

I'm casting my vote for humility in sports. I'm sick of end zone dances, sack dances and chest pounding. You can watch your homer sail over the wall as you run down to first base; you don't need to stand and admire.

Barry Sanders made moves on the football field I'd never seen before or since and he handed the ball to an official after scoring.

HUH? I don't understand.

 

[1fromawoodpile]

Sports bras don't do it for me.

I doubt if they wear thongs for a match either.

Cunts wishing they had a penis!

HUH? I don't understand but please don't bother to explain. Really, don't explain.

 

[1fromawoodpile]

Don't worry. I won't explain.

agreed. that's kinda why i wanted japan to beat them again. they (the americans) had an arrogant vibe about them. also, there's a solid argument that they probably didn't really earn their spot anyway and instead got there largely thanks to bad calls by the ref in the game against canada, but oh well.

I kinda want to see the Jap girls in a group orgy.

They were watched in person by more people than have watched a women's football match in the UK since World War 1 when the men footballers were at war.
