How in then hell are we so complacent as a nation that we allow this.

Several women on the US soccer team on Monday turned away from the US flag as 98-year-old WWII veteran Pete DuPré played the national anthem on a harmonica.
The US Women’s soccer team is playing against Mexico in East Hartford, Connecticut in a pre-Olympic sendoff game before heading to Japan.

Well, I'm going to hope they lose early and often in the Olympics.

I have really lost interest in all sports with the political nonsense. The only one I'll watch is pro motocross on MAV TV on Saturdays.

Can you imagine what would go through the head of a WW2 Vet seeing that? Some kind of unfathomable sadness I would think. I suppose it doesn't really matter which way you are facing when your head is that far up your arse though.

There needs to be about 15 patriotic men that try out for the team to weed these girls out.

That BS should be National News on every network. If CNN wants to brag about it, let them. If MSNBC wants to brag about it, let them. If Newspapers want to brag about it, let them.

fricking hate the women's team. Hopefully they'll try to split from the USSF and then get fricked when they realize you have to subsidize women's sport in the US.

This is disgusting. You would think they could put their feelings aside for once out of respect for a WWII veteran. #mefirst
