FTR, it is possible #11 and #2 were engaging in some sort of protest. They should have turned with the others. If so, frick them. Kick them off the team.
But nobody turned their back on the flag of the vet playing the anthem.
Jj, you continue to allow yourself to be misled by very shoddy journalism. If you have kids, I imagine they are disappointed and feel great shame.
Be honest. That's all I ask.

The irony in saying/acting how oppressing the country you live in is, while at the same time choosing to represent it on the international stage is just to great.
Hypocritical counts certainly haven’t resigned from team USA…. fricking pathetic losers.

If you do not face, you have turned your back on it. Period HHTM.
I pointed out that your link wasn't even about what the OP states.

Lol.. and again... read.
From your link.

The United States Women’s Soccer players that turned away from the national anthem ahead of a game against Mexico were not protesting, and were turning to face the flag, a representative told the Daily Caller.
Nobody in this whole thread is talking about these players.
Nobody but YOU.
And again... from your article.

Some of the players were simply looking at the flag flowing on a pole in the stadium in that direction. They were not looking away from Pete as he played the national anthem,” U.S. Soccer Federation Chief Communications Officer Neil Buethe told the Daily Caller.
Only you are talking about them

You couldn't even say which players you were pissed at. 
One group of players did any "turning". -- they did so to face the flag.
It looks like 4 others continued to face forward (like the mexican team" towards the gentleman playing the anthem.
Your head line says "TURNS THIER BACKS". Only one group turned. Nobody has their back towards anything. The majority TURNED to face the flag. A couple others continued to face forward facing the Vet.
By the way the VET was facing the players.
There are all kinds of things to be pissed off about. This isn't one of them. You are dishonest and must be paid for clicks from the Pundit. You are a shill.

Word play? Really HHTM? If you had a brother who wanted nothing to do with you, one would say "he turned his back on him" that does not mean a literal face you and pivot turn to look away.
But you go ahead and try to make it about anything else like you have with links that does not even address what everybody in the thread gets but you.

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.

Yeah this seems like a giant misunderstanding.

No, it sounds like US soccer is back peddling to save face. They are spinning this so it doesn’t blow up, trying to control the narrative.

What do WE have to do with it? We don't watch them, we don't give them our money. It's not our problem that the people in charge of running the national team don't have the balls to do anything.

I wasn't watching never will. I don't care about women's soccer!
In 5 years they will all be replaced by transgenders anyway.
It's like the WNBA only lesbians, and SWJ, woke men, and little girls attend games.
Bottom line is don't give them time of day!

Soccer is the sport of third world shitholes and euro-socialist pussies. So I am ok with this.

Not giving them the benefit of the doubt considering how these woke brats typically have behaved. Burned bridges take time to rebuild.
Won’t be watching or supporting and will relish their failures.
