because she said her faith wouldnt allow her to wear the Pride jerseys
shes been booed at her club games

I wonder how many of the booers applauded the anthem kneelers and "their right to protest"

Everyone has a right to their opinion...unless it's the opposite of mine.

She certainly has the right, but that’s a pretty gay reason to turn down a call up.

Good for her

Sounds like she has a conviction, isn't an a-hole about it, and is willing to deal with the consequences of it without blaming someone else.

Yeah i dont really give two shits either way about this topic. It's just nice that she didn't immediately start playing the victim card after she got backlash for her beliefs.

Maybe we could just keep politics and agendas out of our National Teams?

That might solve the problem.

I always thought our National Teams should bring people together instead of dividing us.

CHICAGO (May 26, 2017) – In recognition of LGBTQ Pride month in June, U.S. Soccer will activate a number initiatives in partnership with the You Can Play Project, along with the U.S. National Soccer Team Players Association and the Women's National Team Players Association. The You Can Play Project is an organization dedicated to ensuring equality, respect and safety for all athletes, coaches, and fans without regard for sexual orientation and/or gender identity.


Sounds pretty american to me.

Look don't take me wrong, lesbians are cool, but let's not act like it's correct. I think everyone took sex Ed at some point and realizes something is jacked up in these girls heads.

But then again aren't all women crazy.

She actually has principles and is willing to sacrifice for them.

Megan Rapinoe thinks the US is evil but is willing to wear our jersey. She's for sale.

The NFL players could learn a lot from this young woman in terms of how to respectfully protest something.

No, she hasn't missed a game due to this
