This is her time. She gave warning sometime back she was one with Colin Kaepernick. So we just have to grin and bear it. It doesn't really matter in my life what she does. I'll bet she never emigrates out of the USA. She is 33 and likely this is her last time in the spotlight. Just pay no attention.

Well they are plenty of people in this country that think much of the south (especially Alabama) are pretty much Saudi Arabia / 3rd world except with a Christian and white majority.

Looking back, I think she’s wildly successful with this.

She’s deflected attention on a crowning achievement in women’s sports toward herself, away from teammates.

She’s going to drive up sales in her clothing line.

Her failure is one that many like her have also done. What the hell is she fighting for? She disliked Trump prior to his election. She made no effort to agree with him. That’s fine.

But is this all some personal vendetta these athletes have? What gay rights does she not have? Is she fighting for black lives like Colin? What solutions does she have to these ‘issues’?

If I looked like her I'd be angry at the world too.

If the snowflake president would just keep his mouth shut and off Twitter, she wouldn’t even be in the news!

Yes she would. Sports media, and much of "mainstream" media have all but shed that veneer or pretense of "objectivity" long since.

She is brave, dontcha know? Latest quotes, "I'm not going to the fricking White House..." SOoooooooooo FIERCE and edgy is she. Would it have been the fricking White House three years ago? Will it always be? Instead of simply not saying anything and crossing that bridge, making a quiet press release that she declines the invitation she has to be the big shot virtue-signaler with edge and ferocity.

That’s exactly what she wants to happen. It brings more attention to her BS “cause” and additional sympathy from people already on her side. If nobody called her out, then she’d be as unknown/irrelevant as she was a few months ago. Which would definitely piss her off more then being criticized.

So brave , so courageous. Much like the brave courageous ( albeit racistsexisthomophobic) US Marines that stormed the beaches of Normandy on D Day.

Shim is a clown. As soon as shim stopped kneeling it became clear that shim is not 100% behind injustice.

All they do on tv is bitch about not making as much as the men’s team.

Is it real football season yet?

Factually false.

A gay citizen of the United States has the exact same Constitutional rights and protections as a straight citizen or any other citizen, for that matter.

If someone asked her what rights she was denied as a gay citizen of the United States, she would likely rattle of a bunch of bullshite like:

“The right to be accepted and live with dignity.”

“The right to live my truth.”

None of those are rights.

She is an idiot.

Hell, people are afraid to make a damn insurance commercial these days without having at least one gay couple cuddled on the couch.

WTF does she want?

Blowhard a-hole.

I'd bet that she's pretty intelligent. She's just ultra lesbo and progressive.

People can be different and still very smart.

She isn’t singing the national anthem. Well most of America isn’t watching.

By the way who the hell names their son Megan?

She does not know the words, plus she prolly could not carry a tune in a bucket!
