I honestly couldn't care less how Rapinoe or any other sports figure thinks politically. Just perform well on the field. She's not doing that right now, she should be benched for that, not her beliefs.


I agree with you and I could care less about her beliefs, but she is outspoken against the country whose crest she wears and represents with her actions on and off the field. Kaepernick could do whatever the hell he wanted but he wasn't playing for the USA.

Rapinoe should not be able to represent the USA given her actions, and that was before she sucked arse on the field. The other teammates involved in that suit and etc complaining about wages things are at least going about it in a professional manner. It just shows how pathetic the coach and federation are.

Apparently now Ali Kriger is doubling down on the stupidity

My issue with this is they’re acting like they deserve to be part of this team and any ramifications will be prejudicial

No not really once you become a NT member you can say what you like but if you get resistance back, don’t play the card they’re using.

Let them say what they want but don’t cry when it comes around

If Rapinoe got asked to leave for her actions would you be mad? If Kriger got told to leave because of her comments would you be upset?

What actions? Saying they won't visit the White House and that they have no respect for this president and his administration? I think that would be a really dumb thing to send them home for.

So not putting hand over heart and protesting and discussing your country leaders is not an action?

They are and if USSF told them to go away that is the USSF right. I’m sure you’d whine that they would do that.

I mean if USSF says stay I’m ok but I’m also good if they said leave

It’s dumb to you but remember they represent all of America not just their views

It goes back to the (intelligent) parts of the Kaepernick debate. If you're going to cause a distraction, you better be good enough to warrant it.

When it comes to Pinoe and Krieger, this is more than likely it for them in terms of the USWNT regardless of what they say just because they are on the backside of their careers.

I'd be interested to see what would happen if a young up-and-coming and/or fringe player were this outspoken.

Trump is the ultimate representative of our nation. Which do you think makes the US more of a laughing stock on the world stage?

People like you who think this was all one persons fault. That’s what makes America laughingstocks. But it is what it is

Never said that nor do I think it, but okay.

My point is, if your argument is her protesting is embarrassing our country on the world stage, then there is an objectively more embarrassing person running our country.

See there you outed yourself It’s embarrassing for people to think person O, T “, and C are embarrassing solely but not realizing they’re embarrassing themselves

You need a reality check because one person doesn’t embarrass a country solely

I’ll take an amazing economy and unemployment rate over someone who looks awful before and during a game while repping the nation.

That’s not what you (and everyone else melting over Rapinoe) are implying.

1. Rapinoe will likely never be president much less run for office, so that doesn’t really matter.

2. You think the president is solely responsible for the economy and unemployment?

I’m not melting over Rapinoe. I’m just pointing g out that if repercussions happen she will pull the prejudice card. She’s already done it before. Kriger’s comments were stupid irresponsible and uninformed.

It’s not their right to represent the country. That’s where they’re wrong and they believe( especially Rapinoe) it is a right.

To answer your question number 2, no. Nobody is solely responsible for our economy. Are we going to start drawing supply/demand curves with elastic and inelastic lines and discuss LIFIO FIFO etc?

Its Not the anthem of Donald trump it's the anthem of the United States of America, I don't care if she's a moron who hates trump for reasons that have no merit or that she's too dumb to articulate but quit being a pink haired rug munching attention whore in the one chance every 4 years your teammates have to showcase themselves
