We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
How on earth did the USMNT fail to qualify for the Olympics a third time in a row? Goddamn.

Nobody cares about olympic soccer besides Mexico because they cant win anything otherwise and clubs aren't mandated to release players for it because FIFA doesn't want anyone upstaging the world cup so all our best players aren't there its mostly MLS garbagemen

On one hand that makes sense, but on the other hand, shouldn't the U.S. want to seize one of the only two opportunities (the other being the World Cup) where a mass domestic audience cares about their sport in order to spur greater interest in it? It's done wonders for the USWNT. If other countries don't take it seriously, then we'd have better odds of medaling and making Americans think we're better than we are (which is our favorite thing!).
