Personally, I thought it was just one or two nuts on the US Womens National Soccer Team...now Alex Morgan is also diving in.

I am an avid soccer fan, having a daughter that played D1 soccer for a short while. But, they may have just taken the interest out of me.

It is funny that FIFA is the one who has allowed major events in countries where gays are murdered, yet they are wanting to fight to allow boys play a girls game to the point that girls/women will no longer be able to make a roster.

Maybe we should upgrade the US womens team with men.

I guess if you want to make as much as the men do, you may as well let them play in your league

That's certainly where this leads to. They can't beat a team of 15 year old boys. Their jobs aren't safe from trans women.

They would all be replaced by trans players if those players wanted on to the women's team.

This works for me. I wasn't going to see them play anyway.

Fact- The US womens soccer team was beaten by FC Dallas 15 & under boys team 5-2 in a scrimmage a few years ago. If you are one of the true believers that women's sports are on the same scale as men's then sit back & think about this for a second. 15 year olds & under beat the US Womens Team handily & it wasn't even close.

Maybe they should replace the current players on the women's team.

I would definitely support.

I didn’t click the link; is USWNT specifying the age/level of the banned athletes in question?

Texas has a law barring transgender student athletes from playing on K-12 school sports teams; Republican lawmakers have filed two bills (Senate Bill 649 and House Bill 23) in the current legislative session that bans transgender sports participation at colleges and universities.

I wouldn't go see them if they were playing across the street, and it has nothing to do with politics.

However, this seems like a stance that is suicide for the female athletes.

"We won't play unless you allow men to play women's sports" is not the take a logical person would expect a female athlete to take.

And I doubt they are very consistent with this philosophy when it comes to playing in foreign countries.

Hopefully SC will bar it soon.

Hope they get down to 5 states.

“We have to protect women’s sports!”

Women playing sports at the highest level: we are fine with this

“Who the frick do these women playing sports think they are?”

The lawsuit didn't do it? I'm boycotting the USWNT for another 10 years.

Can we just pass this law in all 50 states so we don't have to watch them play or hear their bullshite ever again?

How would they boycott a state?

Refuse to play there?

Ok. I guess a few hundred people would notice it.

If they scheduled a match at the same time in my state (Alabama) as an autograph signing by last years football team - we know who would draw more of a crowd.

These “women” are delusional.

Im actually for this becuase if men could play womens sports there would be no alex morgan or megan rapinoe.

I want it to happen becuase I want the men to take their fricking jobs. It wont change until that happens.
