Pearl Harbor Trends On Twitter After U.S. World Cup Win


Fans took to Twitter to celebrate U.S. World Cup win after a comprehensive 5-2 victory against Asian rivals Japan. However, that also resulted in Pearl Harbor becoming one of the top trends among Twitter users after the U.S. World Cup win.

Pearl Harbor remains one of the deadliest attacks in U.S. history and led directly to the American entry into World War II. A series of tweets made light of the attack and the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which led to the defeat of the Japanese empire.

However, many fans chastised the fans who made light of Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima.

Fans also mocked U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo after the 33-year-old picked up the Golden Gloves award for her performance throughout the tournament. Fans made fun of Solo’s history of domestic abuse, comparing the athlete’s situation to that of Ray Rice.
