  • "I think we showed very much our true colors. This is not the first time we have seen a murderous mob like that.
  • "Unleashing a White supremacy mob is nothing new to America as people of color, Black and Brown, know that very well."
  • "If we do not punish this and investigate this to the fullest extent it only encourages more of this to happen,"
  • "The US crest is not to be confused with anything that has to do with White supremacy, anything that has to do with the Trump administration, anything that has to do with that divisive culture that we saw on the Capitol.

  • Superstitions don't rule the US Women's National Team — but they definitely have some
  • Whether you call it paranoid or just a ritual, some players just need their routines. Here are some of the United States Women's National Team members' rituals (or superstitions) that get them prepped for game day:
  • Carli Lloyd says she plays her best game when she knows the pressure of the eyes of her family and friends aren't there to throw her off.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • "I've been known as the player that doesn't want anybody to come to their events," she told The Inquirer. "It's not a superstitious thing, it's just something that works for me. In order for me to be at my best -- and if I'm at my best, that essentially helps the team -- I just want to go over there and do my thing."
  • Co-captain Alex Morgan likes to go against the grain, so it's no surprise that she's made 13 her lucky number. In a video for Team USA, Morgan said she found the superstitions toward the number strange and decided to make it her own.
  • Rapinoe told POPSUGAR that her diet is something she makes sure is consistent. According to the publication, she said there are certain things she absolutely must eat in order to get ready for a game, and her special diet is something she just can't deviate from.
  • The Rapinoe diet:Breakfast: She has a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich consisting of two eggs, sauteed onions and spinach on an English muffin.Lunch: Avocado toast with a chicken thigh and a side of fruit.Dinner: Two chicken thighs, sweet potatoes and asparagusPregame snack: Energy bar or a handful of almonds.
  • Every player has their own ritual for preparing for game day: For some it may be relaxing and focusing on the game -- for Christen Press, it's yoga and shopping.
  • Press said she likes to start her day by meditating, having a good breakfast, doing some yoga and she prefers to wrap it all up with some shopping at the mall.
  • Press said she also likes to make "a really big purchase" on game day "maybe like a fancy pair of shoes or a purse I would not normally splurge on." She says if she plays well, scores, or it's a good game, she gets to keep it.
