I wouldn't call it an accident, I just don't think she even realized in the moment she was holding an American flag. It was just something in her hands that Rapinoe said to get rid of (the heinous bitch), so she did.

More indicative of our entire culture of celebrations and selfies and shite than anything un-American. Just not very conscientious.

Rapinoe did what she did to gain notoriety and get people to pay attention, and it worked. I didn't even know the wwc was going on until that incident.

Anyone else care to notice that? The wwc was going on for a while before she had her little Kris Jenner PR moment.

And it worked. People talked about her day and night, and more people tuned in to the games than would have otherwise, both to cheer and jeer. Now, she's doing lesbian photo shoots in SI and will almost certainly land a broadcasting job at one of the super left wing networks.

But it's a natural response to disrespecting the flag and country, and it seems that there will always be enablers who encourage this crap, so I don't see a solution.

But for the career snowflakes who try to call conservatives snowflakes, yeah okay. Let's burn a rainbow fig flag during "pride month" and see what happens. These people lose their shite when a straight guy plays a gay guy in a movie.

To be fair, we're supposed to be considerably less snowflake-ish.

Just winning the "who gives a shite" battle isn't enough, we need to win it by a lot

That's exactly it. It's what happens when people treat their country like a religion. Wanting to punish flag burners is no different than wanting to punish those who draw a picture of Mohammed

In fairness, not wanting to punish flag burners/droppers doesn't mean we shouldn't think poorly of them

She didn't kneel for any of the WC, and hasn't knelt for some time as part of the USWNT since US Soccer implemented a rule against it.

She's knelt before, and made a point to talk about ignoring the flag and anthem during the WC, and why she did it.

And at first, it had nothing to do with Trump. They made it about Trump afterwards, so that (still weak) excuse doesn't fly.

It's the Kris Jenner soulless PR plan. And it works. You just have to burn a lot of bridges and make a fool of yourself.

This.

Same people that chastise Muslims for persecuting blasphemy are in here wishing harm on someone for letting an inanimate object touch the ground...very nice and manicured ground, might I add.

She didn’t kneel?

Then what were the vids from with her kneeling? Why was she just on CNN talking about how brave she was for doing it?

I know.

But this shows you don't really know what you're talking about...

All of the flash points in the situation with her happened well before the WC started. All of her PR moments during the WC were all the goals she scored while she lead the team to a dominating performance.

I don't understand the karma. Whether I agree with what she does or not, its still free speech. So how is her exercising her American right karma when her wedding ring gets stolen?

She didn't during the the WC. She has before in other games, but US Soccer instituted a rule against, so she's been standing since that rule. She doesn't sing the anthem or stand with hand over heart.
