Those aren't the dream for very many people. Also aren't team sports.

Whereas Little League players dream of playing in the World Series. Kids on the frozen ponds dream of lifting the Stanley Cup. Young golfers want a green jacket.

When we brought home the 2015 World Cup, Sophia Smith was playing high school soccer and Trinity Rodman was playing club soccer. They were watching and thinking about 2023 and 2027.

I'm not going to expect them to pass up the opportunity on the grounds of Rap being an idiot, any more that I would expect players in another sport to give up their dreams.

Golf is barely a sport, and soccer is infinitely more physically demanding a sport. Baseball doesn't match a Title IX sport like wrestling or the martial arts. You are making a bad point and equating what is popular to Americans to what is the highest level of sport.

As TD is wont to say, pussy remains undefeated.

That is never more true here than any subject regarding women. Rent free. All day. Every day.

And perhaps you should follow your own advice.

The issues many have with the USNWT aim particularly Rapione is not just simply they didn’t hold their hands over their heart, things don’t happen in a vacuum.

In all honesty my interest in the Women’s World Cup is the same as it was in 1999 when me and friend stumbled on the end just in time to she Brandy Chastian rip off her shirt. Or the Men’s for that matter, I really don’t care, in the past if we won, great but this team, is just hard to root for sorry.

Starting a thread about it makes it seem like you do GAF.

I'm hoping this "woke-assed" team loses every time they take the field. Rapinhoe needs to go...she's a cancer that keeps spreading her evil to 'em all.

Do you debate every person who you disagree with politically and then make sure everyone knows you disagree with them?

Not sure how that helps the team.

That precludes one from taking a different side than a teammate? I didn't know that.

You’re allowed to take different sides. I just don’t know how coming out and saying “I disagree with this moron Megan Rapinoe” helps the team.

Rapinoe only cares about lining her pockets with sponsor dollars and getting every ounce of attention she can get. She is 38 and has played 27 min in 3 matches, yet she is there in front of every camera commenting on everything

Morgan is 34 and washed, the team is clearly in a transition phase. She should still be pissed about 2019, she played the WC of her life but Rapinoe got the awards because she is the MSM's favorite shill

8 of the roster are 31 and older, yet all of the most important players (except Horan) are 22 and under

I don’t give a frick so much, I didn’t even know they were or weren’t struggling.

In fact, I give so few fricks, I didn’t even know they existed.
