Welp:
Talk about karma … 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sweden just won 3-0 over the woke, anti-American kneeler women's soccer team in the first round of the Tokyo Olympics.
I can't stop laughing.

And make no mistake, this was a bad loss:
Yowza. Sweden stuns USWNT 3-0 in Olympic opener. It's the team's worst loss in a major international tournament since that 4-0 loss to Brazil in semifinals of 2007 World Cup
