Every report makes it pretty clear it was COVID related.




Every report is going off what McKennie posted, but Gregg never said COVID even when asked if it was COVID-related. And Donovan made it sound bigger than that.

But again, push your narrative, champ.

This is going to payoff in about 17 years when a soccer prodigy emerges out of the Nashville suburbs.

Lol West had friends into his hotel room - OHNOoo!1!1!1

Landicakes the soy (and literal cuck) lisps that he is “incredibly disappointed”.

Beta Covidian reaction: ugh the nerve - how dare he let his team team down? Such an alarming pattern of behaviour! Rules are there for a reason!

Chad Uncle Sam reaction: I am fricking outraged that US Soccer is so woke and so heavily invested in overacting to a flu virus that they are risking a WC appearance again. Bunch of soy pussies. I will switch my allegiance to based Poland or based Hungary.

I know you don’t get this, but part of being a professional athlete is following team rules… whether you agree with them or not.

He needs to grow up. Apparently it wasn’t difficult for the other professionals to follow team rules for a week.

There is no other period of history in America in which the team officials wouldn’t have looked the other way. Except now. When we suck and are at the end of our reign as the worlds lone superpower.

US Soccer has a loser mentality. We’ll never win with this woke group running things.

Rumor on twitter going around that it involves a teammates' sister.

Probably fake... but also maybe not fake.

Who the frick knows.

So he allegedly broke protocol and now Landon Donovan who has an ax to grind with US Soccer is disclosing this...

Ok I get breaking protocol, and that is all on McKennie...but what is Donovan's end game in this? I am being a conspiracy theorist I guess.

Literally no reason Landon needs to chime in on this.

It's simple as saying its a USMNT issue that will be handled by the team.

Also, people need to quit acting like this kind of thing wasn't the absolute norm before these ridiculous times.

Ok, he screwed up doing something social, but its not like 1000 other great athletes didn't do the same thing before him only to not get caught and still perform just fine.

Why not?

I thought we wanted the media to be more transparent and in this instance, Donovan is part of the media.

The team did handle it. Sounds like you didn't want them to handle it.

And there are over 1,000 instances well before COVID where a player has been punished for partying a day before a game.

Stop being a bitch because you think this is some kind of COVID conspiracy. McKennie fricked up, and there are consequences to fricking up.

We want the team and the federation to feel pressure to perform from the media… except when we don’t.

I don’t agree with this. To me the loser mentality is looking the other way because you need this player so badly. I have no idea what the real story is but if you break team rules and are sent home, well that’s kind of the risk you run when you break team rules.

Mckennie is good. One of the best players in the US player pool. But Weston mckennie isnt close to good enough to have separate sets of rules for him and the rest of team. He’s not a Zlatan or a Zidane or a Xavi. His consonants are way too mundane to be breaking rules like he’s some kind of Yaya.

All I’m going to say is that Weston never did this



Make of that what you will.
