Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAthletes should be allowed to protest as well. It is not a law to stand or say the pledge of allegiance or sing a song. There's plenty to protest about the US these days, including the lower pay for female NT players. An employer can try and put it in a contract and test it in court but if it isn't in their current contract oh well.
Just my .02....

Sweet Home Alabama....!!!!!
Rapinoe is what being a real American is all about. Thank goodness there are still a few Americans out there with real courage.
Trump folks always forget to mention the alarming rise in anti-Semitism, bolder home grown terrorists, and previously unthinkable new laws like this Alabama law. It is time to be very, very afraid.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou do realize that homosexuals vote overwhelmingly Democrat, are very liberal on many issues and are much likely to be angry with the current administration, right? In fact they are virtually the opposite of the NFL fan base. Some may not like a flag protest but it's not going to turn off nearly as many current fans as you think. It might keep prospective fans from watching but there's many more reasons why people don't watch women's soccer.

Even with all its imperfections, soldiers, both men and women, who never knew me or Megan Rapinoe died protecting this country and what, in theory, it stands for. At the very least she can stand to honor their sacrifice and stop acting like a petulant child.

Some feel a hollow ritual of singing the anthem is actually disrespectful when there us so so much work left to do to achieve the ideals these brave soldiers died for.

Do you realize Alabama just passed a basically total ban on abortions of any type, and other states are doing similar? Do you realize that aside from the enormous spike in racism, or as past of that, anti-Semitism is running rampant in this country?
Do you think Sean Hannity is more patriotic and more of an American than Rapinoe? Jason Chaffetz? Trey Gowdy? That Gaetz fraternity bully clown? Tucker Carlson, lol?
Real Americans are the Rosa Parks of the world....the Buttigieg's of the world....and yes, Megan Rapinoe.

What’s next? Our Army soldiers lay down their guns and surrender the country because they are pissed off with their personal treatment or pay or because they don’t like the Commander in Chief? If you sign up to represent the country, you put your personal feelings aside and show respect to the country’s symbols and shut and do your job.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI see this pretty narrowly, this isn’t about NFL or what you personal believe, etc., it’s about Rapinoe and her being on the United States National Women’s Soccer team. It’s not a private club team, it’s the United States National Women’s Soccer team - please let those words sink in your head. Rapinoe wants to be on Team USA whose motto is “One Nation, One Team” and yet she publicly voiced disdain for the country and says she doesn’t want to honor it by standing or singing the anthem. She shouldn’t be on the team if she doesn’t want to represent the country. Period.
