One would think that if she really wanted to help then she would be a little more original. I mean, hasn't the whole
kneeling thing been done before? I can't quite remember.

Also, what fricking rights are being refused to the gay community? I know multiple gay folks and they seem to be enjoying the shite out of life right now.

Cut her some slack. Her mom died last week.


ETA: Nevermind, thought that was Anderson Cooper.

Terrible human being and selfish attention whore.

Hopefully she has a career ending injury in the World Cup.

Because she's a fading star who is using this to get noticed and cash in on the last moments of her fame. Nothing more.

This is the new soulless Kris Jenner "anything to get noticed" PR world we're living in. Stop falling for it and they'll stop doing it.

She is picked to represent a country that supposedly oppresses her..... Yeah that makes sense. Make a real statement and quit the team.


Go get thrown off a building and get back to me.

it should be mandatory action that disqualifies for any olympic athlete who cant show respect for the flag and anthem that they be thrown off the team.

dont give a rats arse if you like trump or not but if you use your position on the olympic team to get political then you should be instantly removed from the team

It's one thing to kneel for the anthem during regular league play. Still stupid in my opinion but not enough to warrant kicking out of the league or anything.

In respect to playing for the national team though, flagrant demonstrations AT the event against the national anthem/banner should result in you not representing the team and nation. It's kind of ridiculous that she is permitted to do that and remain on the team that is playing to represent the country.
