Hey Germany, We Need A New Word

So Schadenfreude is the word for enjoyment of another person's pain. Presumably, that's the pain of someone you don't like. So I'm wondering of there's a word for a kind of reverse situation:

What I mean is, with Schadenfreude, there's someone you don't like, and then you see them experience misfortune, which gives you joy. But what if you see someone experience misfortune, then they do something that makes you dislike them, thus allowing you to enjoy their misfortune?

I suggest we call this a "Hope Solo." This weekend, much of the world got the chance to experience it, when Solo followed up the U.S. Women's Soccer team's early exit from the Olympics with an unsporting insult of the victorious Swedes. So lots of people became retroactively glad they were gone.

It seems many people around the world have an affinity for the American Women's Team. Sure, few non-Americans like cheering for the U. S. of A, but the success of this particular team bodes well for two of humanity's long-term projects: equality for women, and getting Americans to like soccer. You want to feel good about the few women who get to live the life of the American athletic idol.

But the fact is, they've been a hard team team to like. Here in Canada, we're still bitter about the last Olympics, when star Abby Wambach bullied the ref into calling the never-enforced-in-history time limit on goalies handling the ball. It was a perplexing moment: really, you're the best in the world, and you still have to resort to that? Indeed, before allowing the winning penalty kick against Sweden, Solo held up the proceedings to change gloves, in a rather transparent moment of gamesmanship. The American women bring to mind the Belichick-era New England Patriots: Admirable for their success, but also seeming like an inhuman machine.

Anyway, I was going to write more about people being angry about Solo's remarks, so I scrolled through Canadian news and sports sites looking for condemnation of her. But it turns out all the coverage of soccer here just briefly mention Solo and then talk about Canada beating France and facing Germany in the semis. So I guess I should let it go; after all, we still have another game to play.
