Tom Brady Breaks Silence After US Women’s Soccer Team Called Out Over National Anthem!
Retired NFL great and future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Tom Brady has offered his take in response to the perception by millions of Americans that members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team disrespected the National Anthem ahead of their match against Vietnam over the weekend in New Zealand.
Brady sent a message to the team on social media and essentially ignored what critics were saying after most of the 11 starters either refused to place their hands over their hearts, sing the anthem, or both — even though all members of the Vietnamese national team did so enthusiastically.
“Team USA is gearing up to do something I was never able to pull off,” he said in a video. “A three-peat. So, I just wanted to give a shout-out to our squad as they go for their third consecutive World Cup. We are all back here watching and cheering for you guys so bring it home.”
The majority of the team just stared straight as the National Anthem played in New Zealand’s Eden Park arena and only 5 of the 11 who stood for the anthem placed their hands over their hearts
And only three of the players, Julie Ertz, Alyssa Naeher, and Lindsey Horan, actually sang the words.
Team USA defeated Vietnam by a score of 3-0.
