Hope Solo Tell Us More

Hope Solo speaks about football like it’s a game no one knows
another American unaware of the rest of the globe
a condescending knowledge noticeably on show
in Europe assuming football’s an unknown 

Don’t wish to be rude
but you’re a yank and it’s football
it’s our sport dude 
a World Cup winner but not global

You say you only take note of America 
it’s why most of the world don’t care for ya
you look like an ignoranus narrow mindedly assured
talking like we don’t know while we laugh ignore

We know more
