Truth. Freedom of speech is not immunity from consequences.

These deluded bitches think they're going to be elevated to the pantheon of protesters like Tommie Smith from 1968 in Mexico City. frick these frauds.

Gwen Berry was ecstatic to raise the US flag when she made the 2016 Rio team.

yep there are many instances of this exact thing. It’s amazing the amount of cultural rot we have experienced just in the last five years of so. It’s unbelievable

This point is completely lost on some of these athletes. They're not as important as they think they are.

When the country gets World Cup or Olympic fever every couple of years, it's because we want to see America kick arse on the world stage. We want to see our flag get raised, and our anthem get played. Not because we give a shite about Megan Rapinoe's opinion on anything.


True. But unfortunately it’s also true that a jackass like rapinoe expressing her opinions, as vile and ill informed as they are, actually makes me want the team to lose. I cheer against the team representing the country I live in because of how horrible these people are.

And they STILL could not point to a single instance where President Trump did ANYTHING to hurt gay people. He was the most gay-friendly President I've ever seen.


Trump hurt the gays, bigly. He took them from special to normal. They've never wanted to be treated the same as everyone else, they want special entitlements.

What sucks is I guarantee you dickbag Biden will tweet about every win the women's soccer team has in tbe Olympics, meanwhile largely ignoring every other American athlete.
Except maybe for the black chick that bitched about the playing of the national anthem.

It’s pathetic that a coach or anybody else would allow that. Get them off the field if they don’t care anymore about representing our nation than that.

Disgusting lack of respect by some. There are few left of the Greatest Generation but a combination of ignorance regarding history and then just respect that obviously was not taught by their parents. Chime in libs and give your views please - this is one aspect of where we are now as a country. BTW this man has done this before. LINK

And back in his day would likely kick all of our asses.

Bottom line that should piss all off is the lack of RESPECT.

Shame, shame on the US Olympic team and admin to allow this.

The guys who'll take their places won't be good enough to earn a dime playing soccer for a men's team.

Serious question here....but which ones are the ones being disrespectful? The couple on the end facing forward, or the majority to their left who have their backs towards the vet?

Now translate that performance gap to the military, where the stakes are a little higher than an endorsement contract with Kotex.
