Yeah I think The Trumpers who are anti- Team USA because of Comments are 1. Forgetting how fricking liberal the other teams are 2. Forgetting how fricking good Team USS is.
Trump was smart enough to not actual denounce our own national team and make their success something anti-Trump

Is protesting in and of itself not wholly American?
...no?

Its for non american pussies. Protesting the anthem and white house is for fools. We can only pray that our country can come together and maybe boot those who protest to the country of their choice. Its a win win for all

Harry Caray, the guy you are replying to is either a troll or one of the biggest mouth breathers on this site. You do realize this, right?

I know Gerard Pique in Spain is often booed whenever he plays with the Spanish national team as he is pro-Catalan independence. Also, people in Spain (namely the Catalans and Basques) tend to whistle (their equivalent of booing) when they play the Spanish National Anthem before the Copa Del Rey final.

The only “ “throngs”of American athletes
are the ones not protesting anything.

Ah yes forgot about this one too
Barcelona actually played a game behind closed doors in protest of the rejection of the Catalonia independence referendum

Yes. It’s one of the great freedoms of America. You can show and speak your mind without getting murdered. If you don’t want that I’d recommend you move somewhere else you commie

yes, any other country olympic committees arent bat shite crazy insane and filled with SJW idiots so they would be thrown off the team if they even privately expressed they dont support their own country and its leader much less do it publicly
the reason the world things so little of america is it is over run and represented by SJW liberal idiots

No one is saying Rapinoe should be imprisoned or in any way punished by our government for using her right to speak out. But the rules are different when you are representing the US on the international stage. Rapinoe should have either resigned or been removed from the team.
It is no more appropriate for her to attack Trump than it would be for a member of our military to attack Trump. Representing this country is a privilege, not a right.
Any other country and she would’ve been off the national team immediately. You sure as heck don’t see any members of England attacking the Queen or the Royal Family.

Eh no one comments about them because they’re figure heads
The correct comment to make was “no one on the england team protests about Brexit”

Some countries if you dont' play well they'll murder you, so I imagine they are not going to be as likely to protest.
And some people on this board root for that level of government

I’d be okay with a good ole beheading for dissent against President Trump. :)
