The United States Women’s National Team has drawn plenty of criticism from conservatives as some of the players have chosen not to sing the national anthem before matches at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. And one of the loudest critics is conservative political commentator Megyn Kelly.
After the team’s 0-0 draw to Portugal this week, Megyn Kelly was at it again with her criticism, calling the team “morons” during the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM radio this week.
“These morons on the women’s soccer team continue to embarrass us on the national stage,” Kelly said on her show according to The Daily Mail.
Kelly seemed particularly upset at the way the team was seen celebrating the 0-0 draw against Portugal even though they have not exactly played up to expectations throughout the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
“They got to a 0-0 tie with Portugal. They’ve only scored four goals in three games. It’s the first time ever, that the women’s team does not have at least two wins at this stage of the competition. And yet they’re celebrating out there like they’ve just won the whole thing,” Kelly said.
The USWNT did advance out of the group stage and will now take on Sweden in the round of 16 this weekend.
