Hahaha didn’t know there were TD Poli board Pre requisites, glad to see how serious you take this place. Please enlighten me what books on US history you think I need to read?

Wasn’t the flag on the opposite end of the stadium from vet performing which is why they are turned that way? So we’re they supposed to look at him or the flag?


No. Its just a matter of watching the video.

I would suggest in your case to start from the ground up. You can find resources of course on the net but I would suppose you are not interested but could be. Despite your ignorance of US history, your ignorance and/or trolling regarding respect for the US flag and especially not coming forward to note the disrespect of a member of one of the few left from the Greatest Generation is noted. Care to clear this up?

I hope they are embarrassed


Tough call IMO.

I'll be rooting for the girls who didn't disrespect the flag or the 98 old veteran but screw those girls who "protested" They should be kicked off ASAP and never permitted to represent our country again.

Again - please read slowly as this was already supplied - but I would suggest in your case to start from the ground up. You can (if you are serious but I suspect a lib troll) find US history resources of course on the net.

Texts? No, you need to buckle down and learn - texts will not cut this. (Texts lol).

Unfortunately, respect can't be taught except from your parents raising you. Sorry you did not have that experience.

I’m with ya!

If you hate the country that much, why the hell are you representing the country? You are representing everything you hate. Absolutely fricking stupidity.

Any person who disrespects their country while playing for that country should be immediately removed from the team.

Did you watch your own video?

The first player in line they showed is Tobin Heath, a very outspoken Christian, and she is facing towards the flag with her hand on her heart.

It was like four players who are being idiots. Not the whole team

I said similarly to people when Rapinoe began kneeling for the anthem years ago, but I can't make this excuse anymore.

Either all her teammates agree with her bullshite (which I actually doubt), or no one has the spine to stand up to her. Either way, she remains team captain, and her idiocy continues to be enabled by the whole organization.

it looks like the majority of the team turned 90 degrees to face the flag that was flying at that end of the stadium.

the ones that remained facing forward, were facing the vet playing the harmonica.

I would like to know a little more before blindly accepting the word of yellow journalism site like The Gateway Pundit.

Why are you ok with giving up ground to them!


I for one am not ok with it.

That man did more for this country than Magan Rapenoe ever did.

Bitches should do some time with Chicago PD helping pull bloody shooting victims off the ground.

If they voice opposition to her, they are not allowed on the team.

which players is everyone mad at?

the ones that turned to face the flag and put their hands over the hearts?

or the ones that remained facing forward toward the vet that was playing the anthem?

Does the video show where the colors are being presented?

Please tell me who specifically you are angry with? the girls turned 90 degrees with their hands over the hearts? or the girls facing forward?

Here is a youtube video that provides a lot more context.

YouTube

The original tweet that started everyone losing their mind by Election Wizard has been deleted.

I still would like to hear from some of the players. But it looks like JJDoc and The Gateway Pundit have intentionally misled everyone yet again with shoddy journalism.
