It sounds like she won&#8217;t be able to enjoy Team USA&#8217;s success in the World Cup, either.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, The Nation sports editor David Zirin, a goof, told Reid he is rooting for the United States to lose to Belgium so President Donald Trump cannot &#8220;exploit&#8221; the victory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I find myself really wishing the United States was actually playing a team from the Global South so I could truly root with even more fervor to see them get knocked down a peg, because we know how it&#8217;s going to be exploited if they go forward in the Cup,&#8221; Zirin said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2sBAtPVdz9c&amp;t=375s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Reid&#8217;s podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reid nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Exactly,&#8221; she replied.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-analysis\/former-msnbc-host-joy-reid-says-longer-new-york-giants-fan-jaxson-dart-introduced-trump\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>FORMER MSNBC HOST JOY REID SAYS SHE IS NO LONGER A NEW YORK GIANTS FAN BECAUSE JAXSON DART INTRODUCED TRUMP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She then clarified that she isn&#8217;t merely rooting against Team USA. She&#8217;s rooting for an African nation to win the entire World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m rooting for all the African teams,&#8221; Reid said. &#8220;I&#8217;m being very open about it. I&#8217;m rooting for the African teams. I want one of them to win. I think it would be so great for the Global South for an African team to take home the big prize.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is that so?<\/p>\n<p>One can&#8217;t help but chuckle at someone who has made millions of dollars a year bashing the country in which she lives while openly rooting against it in the world&#8217;s biggest soccer tournament. It&#8217;s certainly one way to thank the audience that made those paychecks possible.<\/p>\n<p>No, seriously. That is exactly what her audience, the anti-American scum they are, wants to hear.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s notable about Reid is that she always seems sincere. Many race idolaters and anti-American commentators are simply playing a role, including Reid&#8217;s pal Jemele Hill.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, people like Hill are trying to become the next Joy Reid, as unfortunate as that may be.<\/p>\n<p>We have little doubt Reid truly spent the Fourth of July weekend stewing over America, reminding herself how irredeemably racist she believes it is.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, she will almost certainly celebrate when <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/espn-writer-hates-team-usa-getting-folarin-balogun-back-says-any-world-cup-success-now-tainted\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Team USA is eliminated<\/a> from the World Cup. Speaking for most sane Americans, though, we hope that doesn&#8217;t happen Monday <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/sports\/how-watch-usa-vs-belgium-live-stream-2026-fifa-world-cup-round-16\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">against Belgium in the Round of 16<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As for Reid&#8217;s desire to see an African nation win it all, only two remain as of Monday: Morocco and Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt has the longest odds to win the Cup, at +2500 at DraftKings. Team USA and Morocco are each around +2900. France is a notable favorite at +180.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/joy-reid-openly-rooting-team-usa-lose-hopes-african-team-wins-world-cup\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/joy-reid-openly-rooting-team-usa-lose-hopes-african-team-wins-world-cup <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joy Reid said she could not celebrate the Fourth of July over the weekend as a Black person in America.
