Look at the various stories in recent years (starting around the GK controversy, whenever that was) about the USWNT, they pretty much all involve some degree of nutjobbery.

Their personality disorder ratio seems to be exceptionally high, and my patience with that has reached zero. I'm as nationalist as you're likely to find but they're not a collection I can really cheer even if I squint hard to try to see only the flag.

Yeah I was not even really talking specifically about the USWNT. I just haven't seen a team that you have liked in a while.

Actually, I got one. You seemed above neutral with the UT men's basketball team this year. Well among teams above the high school level.
