This is a completely fabricated story. Hope Solo's last appearance was at the 2016 Rio Olympics, two weeks before Megan Rapinoe joined Colin Kaepernick in kneeling for the anthem (and Rapinoe did so alone; none of her teammates joined her)

I don’t know if the story is real or not. I didn’t state one way or the other. What I posted to
C unt z is legit. His posts read like a commie sympathizer.

Lastly, frick Rapinoe.

I wasn't claiming you were doing anything, just replying to the last post in this thread.

Rapinoe is annoying as frick, but Solo is trying to #FakeNews her way back into the headlines.

How about the fricking ownership of all pro teams tell them to get out of politics or go home.

The very vast majority of us who support pro sports with tickets, etc., don't give one shite about their issues or wokeness.

If the league could/would say screw you, go to work at the sawmill and see if you can make a zillion bucks a year.....

Hope Solo reminds me of the movie cover from “The Ring”

It's fake, but accurate.

To be fair, it's not like people were supporting the NWSL prior to Rapinoe.

And actually, the USWNT has seen an uptick in ticket sales since the kneeling. That's probably because they were getting better and better, but it just shows you, at least for that sport, the wokeness didn't affect anything one way or the other.

If they're that weak and easily persuaded into doing something they might not want to do they should learn to stand up for themselves before taking a knee for any cause!

I get what you're saying, but it's not like Hope doesn't talk to or isn't friends with current players. This would not be the first time a connected outsider was used to "leak" something that a current team member couldn't say for fear of retribution.

Considering that not everyone on the soccer team kneeled, it’s hard to say honestly if the whole team was really bullied into it.

Nowhere in there does it say the whole team was. It only says that she saw Rapinoe bully "players" into it. So I'm not even sure what you're trying to get at.

Or just maybe some of the other players told her where to shove her bullying demands. I hope it comes out that they lost because Rapi-commie pressed all of them to kneel and it divided the team.

And...? So...because Solo wasn't on the team any more when the kneeling started means she has no insight onto the goings-on of the USWNT? It's pretty naïve to think that's true. Solo played with several of the players that are still on the team and likely hears from them on stuff like this.

Solo could be lying of course, but your quoted tweet is pretty meaningless.
