US women's soccer calls for immediate repeal of federation's 'Anthem Policy'

The United States women’s national soccer team on Monday called on the United States Soccer Federation to “immediately repeal” a 2017 policy that requires players to “stand respectfully” during the national anthem.
USWNT issued a joint statement from the players asking the federation to repeal the policy that was implemented after U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem before her match against the Chicago Red Stars in 2016.
quote:
“We believe the Federation should immediately repeal the ‘Anthem Policy,’ publish a statement acknowledging the policy was wrong when it was adopted and issue an apology to out Black players and supporters,” the statement posted to Twitter read.
quote:
The policy, which was voted on in February 2017, states that "All persons representing a Federation national team shall stand respectfully during the playing of national anthems at any event in which the Federation is represented."
The Federation's board of directors is reportedly set to meet Tuesday to discuss the policy. A vote could come as early as Friday. However, for the decision to become permanent, the board will still have to pass a vote at the annual general meeting next year.

National Anthem will not be played at sporting events in the future... They will not honor the military... They will still wear pink though

Democrats haven’t been this hysterically angry at Republicans and The United States since Republicans freed the slaves.

I’ve never cheered for the non-American to win in any event, but I didn’t want those bitches to win the last World Cup and I damn sure don’t want them to win any future ones either.
You’re playing for and representing the nation you fricking idiots. Act accordingly.

If you don't like it don't play for the national team. Simple as that

I call that we immediately disband the women's US soccer team.
See how it works. I can call for all sorts of shite. May call for a pizza in a little while.

Not shocked by the flying Pelosi's.

This shite is out of control.
Don't want to respect the country during the national anthem? Then don't represent the country on the field. See if the IOC will let you form your own team and enter under the Olympic theme like they were going to do for athletes from Russia when Russia was being banned from competing due to doping. Problem solved.

I'm actually ok with this. Just don't expect me to pay attention to whatever other cause they happen to be pandering to from week to week.

Not even a thread on the soccer board. That’s how relevant they are.

The reality is some of these (Rapinoe) don't represent the same country we live in.
That's why it's so silly to act like you need to cheer on these women because they're your fellow Americans. Rapinoe and I have nothing in common (well we have one thing in common). She's not a countryman of mine in any meaningful sense.

You would think they would just shut up after they lost their little equal pay stunt.

I'd like to see an actual poll to determine where they rank historically as the most hated. You might be right.
