Yeah sooooo political. RCDfan1950, get a grip. Take a deep breath. Relax.


You'd be surprised at how 'relaxed' I am, MG. I'm right up there with Drew in the feel good about life category.

But like just off the coast out there now, I see a gathering political storm, which can ruin it for all of us. I was in cruise control right before Katrina...and a week later, I rode around my community...and got a real wake up call.

I argue for argument's sake. My conscience dictates that I do so, for various reasons. Great Granddaughter who naps in the lazy boy with me, at the fore. Life is pretty short; to each their own. Our best hope is that there is something 'there', after this life, to answer to. If not...that sucks.

The only Republican laden sport is baseball. At this point I don’t know how anyone could be surprised by a football or basketball player skewing left.

Did those women really represent the USA? I don't think so, but it's just an opinion.

Look at it clinically: They're famous for the name on the front of their jersey, not the back. They got attention because their shirt says USA, not because they have so many fans. And what do they do with their unwarranted attention? Shite on the very thing that brought them fame and offered them a platform. Disgraceful.

Meh, the melt is carrying them now, but the USWNT got famous for winning World Cups. Some current players have stirred up a melt, but they won't be famous on their own. That was my point

ETA: MR is very good at producing a melt. She could be a successful lightening rod for the right product or organization

True.

Nah. If their opinions represent to you or anyone anything more than a tree falling in the middle of the woods, you are 100% guilty of melt.

Agreed. Personally, I don't even know what their true views or feeling are. Do they say things just to get a rise or to get publicity? IDK.

But I never pulled for anyone to blow out a knee because I didn't like what they said, either. I was cheering for them all the way through

If they say them into microphones, I'm gonna say that the people providing the microphones are the ones trying to get a rise.

Sorta like when people say that Tebow shoves Jesus down our throats. Nah, he's speaking into microphones put in front of him by somebody else, and people choose to listen.

So long as Brees is tossing touchdowns at a 4 to 1 ratio and continues with 70% accuracy rate I don't care if he performs fellatio on Bernie Sanders at a Socialist convention on live TV with Rosie O'Donnell cheering him on

There are a lot of professional athletes who watch soccer. And millions of people in this country. I doubt they are all pussies. But we are talking womens soccer. Those who watch womens soccer, probably watch WNBA, which is pretty bad.....

During the Anthem she did stand silently.

Every chance she got, she made it a point to give to expletive laden rants trashing the president and the country as a whole. Trampled the flag with disregard.


Both false.

Pretty easy to twist blame around and play the victim when you completely cut all facts out of the equation. It’s just what you and your ilk do. Honesty and integrity are two traits that modern day liberals just arent capable of possessing.


They aren’t playing the victim.

They won the WC they’re playing the winners.

Other people want to somehow spin that to anything but a win for them.


I’ll throw this out there: frick all of you unamerican fricks.

Drew is an athlete congratulating a national team that represents the US who won the World Cup.

You’re the people who can’t separate comments made by 1 player about the president from that.
