I'm far from ok with teams representing the US to protest our flag or anthem at sporting events.
But there are two groups. Why can't you tell me which ones are making you angry?
The group that turned?
or
The group that didn't?
you got a 50/50 shot. which is it?

Are you sure? I mean I see clearly which was right and which was not.
Let The Ambassador say it once more.

Every woman on the Mexican Soccer Team faced the flag & sang the Mexican National anthem.
Several woman on the U.S. Soccer team turned away from the US flag
Now. Which group is not respecting the flag?
Do you know the answer?

No I get it. 99 times out 100 most soccer teams just face straight forward like how the two women (Press & Dunne) did. I thought it was weird when they showed them to the angle.

Here you go. Fox Affiliate
The players turned away from the stage at midfield to face the actual flag in the endzone. Which if you have ever stood of the National Anthem, you would know was proper etiquette and the respectful thing to do.
If you are mad at #11 and #2 for not turning, I get that. They should know to face the flag. But that isn't what the article is implying. It's that they turned their back on the vet and the flag. None of that is true.

After arriving in a wheelchair due to his advanced age, DuPré, known to many as the viral musician “Harmonica Pete”, approached the microphone with the wind instrument in hand on Monday. DuPré was embraced by a standing ovation from cheering fans who remained standing as he played the patriotic tune.
However, a handful of Team USA roster soccer players snubbed the war veteran’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and turned away from the makeshift stage on the field where DuPré sang the Stadium.

It is hysterical. You honestly don't even know which of the two group of girls you are pissed at. You just know the Pundit told you to be pissed and there you go.
You are a clown.

No, U.S. women’s soccer team did not disrespect a WWII veteran playing national anthem

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.
Communications reps for U.S. Soccer tried to scuttle the bogus story on social media, explaining clearly what actually happened at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Conn., in which the U.S. beat Mexico 4-0.

#10 Carli Lloyd in particular deserves a lot of props. she has been the backbone of the U.S. team for over a decade now has been under attack for standing during the anthem the last few years. Carli Lloyd is a real leader and she's not apologizing for it.
she posted this an hour ago
some of these news headlines didn't do their homework and falsely accused the players who faced the flag as "turning their backs".
#7 Tobin Heath
#10 Carli Lloyd
#5 Kelley O'Hara
and that's either #6 Kristie Mewis or #8 Julie Ertz
are the only four players who stood properly out of respect and support for the country. all four of those women deserve props regardless of whatever their political views may be. kudos to them for being patriots and good human beings.

If you were right, I'd be the first one behind you banging the drum the loudest.
But you are wrong. The Gateway Pundit is wrong. You got a lot of others riled up with lies and 1/2 truths.
I've asked you at least a half dozen times which group you are pissed at. You can't and won't answer because you honestly don't know.

You should consider changing the subject of your thread and asking for an anchor.
9 pages and you didn't even know who to be angry with.

Nope. That's not what they suggested at all.
They knew who faced the flag and who did not. Who is turned away from it.

The only players that did any "turning" did so to face the flag. The other couple continued to face forward towards the vet.
What a coward you are for not being honest.

From your article.
Let's see if you can read the difference in the quoted OP

do you understand only 1 group "turned"?
the other 4 continued to face forward (like the Mexican team) toward the vet playing the anthem.
Are you saying #11 and #2 turned by not turning?

Let’s just stop paying attention to any of this nonsense and it will die like it should, including posting about it here with a link. I’m not clicking on that. I hope nobody else clicks on it it either. I’ve cut cable. I don’t know what’s happening on a daily basis anymore and I like it that way. Life without media has been pretty good so far!
