re: NSFW: Tokyo Olympics Edition (Soccer)

There's nothing attractive whatsoever about Communist women.

You can have a downvote, and I give the ladies a couple of these...

I can't cheer for a team whose players hate the country they presumably represent.

Delete this thread. Those broads don’t deserve to represent merica

I really don’t care either way but it would help tremendously if people stop regurgitating shite on both sides of the political aisle.

Thanks for posting that video. That along with the comments of some of the players makes it pretty clear this “controversy” was propaganda meant to divide and like always it worked.

I was listening to the radio this morning, and they were saying that the American flag was on the other side of the stadium. They were not turning their back on the Vet just facing the flag.

That is correct but people have grown accustomed to group think, tribal rules and norms, so if it doesn’t fit your political viewpoint you can’t comprehend it.

It’s a sick side effect of social media and tribal news media.

Alex Morgan looks like she’d be fun. Where’s that sexy Rapinoe chick?

Don't care. Won't watch. Ever again. At any event.

Canadian website claims U.S. soccer team disrespected anthem | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The Post Millennial, a Montreal-based conservative online news site, instigated a faux controversy Monday night by claiming video shows the U.S Women’s soccer team “turn their backs to [a] 98-year-old WWII vet playing the national anthem.”

In reality, most of the team was turned toward the American flag in front of them. Others, with hands on hearts, watched 98-year-old World War II veteran Pete DuPre deliver a beautiful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on a harmonica.

“Not true. No one turned their back on WWII Veteran Pete DuPré during tonight’s anthem,” the U.S. Soccer Comms Twitter feed posted. “Some USWNT players were simply looking at the flag on a pole in one end of the stadium. The players all love Pete, thanked him individually after the game and signed a ball for him.”

In fact, U.S. Soccer later posted video of each player thanking the veteran, sitting in a wheelchair before they loaded the team bus after the game.
