    It's not the US teams responsibility to not score goals. It was Thailand's responsibility to stop them. This is the World Cup. It only comes every four years. You play until the whistle blows. I stopped watching too, but I have no problem with them not pumping the breaks, and I won't stop watching cause one girl didn't put her hand over her heart. That is dumb.

    You don't call off the dogs in a World Cup. If you don't like getting scored on then stop them. Simple.

    Some people just like to throw the game by not playing for the whole time. It's known as point shaving.

    The player could have given the original socialist salute = http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg

    Yes she has no inherent right to play on the team, the team managers choose who plays on the team. Show me where the right to play of the US Women's soccer team is derived? Is that in the Bill of Rights? Has the SCOTUS ruled there is such a right? Where is my right to play on the men's team or any such team?

    The US WNT lost to an under-16 boys team.

    Nobody cares about them.

    I saw a team of mostly white people beating up on and needlessly embarrassing an oppressed Asian minority, perhaps if they had dialed down their White privilege a bit they could have seen those of a different race as people too.

    Hey look at me I can argue against this from a leftist's perspective!

    If it was insignificant, she wouldn't have done it. Furthermore, if Trump is the enemy of the American values of liberty and self-fulfillment, how is disrespecting an anthem honoring those values sticking it to Trump? Wouldn't the opposite be true. She needs to do a rethink if Trump is her target of contempt.

    Good for her.

    Trump has made the USA a Worldwide Disgrace.

    Thus:

    Having Trump as President has made the American Flag a Worldwide Disgrace.

    Why would anyone expect someone else to honor the Flag of a country that...

    ...Elected a Thoroughly, Unqualified, Mentally-Deranged, Treasonous, Marital Rapist (like Trump)?

    Expect to see more off this at the 2020 Olympics.

    Glad to see her do this.

    Donald Trump? Trump = Poor Butthurt Snowfake.:roflol:

    Last time I checked, the GOP wants athletes to be fired and in this case removed for expressing their free speech.... against their draconian conservative policies.

    He's not... At least he's one of a number of problems she seems to have with the good old USA.

    See the URL in my post #13

    Somebody really creative needs to come up with a way of giving Trump the middle finger during the National Anthem without disrespecting the entire thing... I'm open to ideas...

    This is not about if she belongs on the team. This is what she can do on the field. And you're just trolling around the fact that you deny her the freedom of speech.

    She earned the right to be on that team by being one of the best in our country. And she has every right to express her political beliefs any way she chooses as long as she is not breaking any team rules. She is not embarrassing anyone nor are her actions self serving in any way.

    The Anthem is a tribute to those who fought to save liberty from English tyranny; its an ode to liberty and courage. Singing it loudly and proudly is the biggest middle-finger you could give to any tyrant wannabe, Left or Right.

    EXACTLY and she doesn't with her hatred of the United States and refusal to represent the United States and honor or country as a member of the team. Else go play on some other team.

    They are free to express their politics on their own dime and their own time, not on that of the country for the national teams or the owners of a professional team. If she can't even raise her hand to her heart and respect the national anthem she doesn't deserve to be on the team, why would she even want the country to win? She wants to profit off it.

    The starting eleven players are all WHITE. What a racist, anti-American organization.

    Don’t they know 13% need to be black, 24% need to be Hispanic, etc?

    Boycott the Women’s World Cup!

    10 minutes into Chile and 0-0.... Anybody finding themselves sort of rooting for Chile today?? At least to score and keep it within single digits??

    Sweden "only" beat Thailand 5-1 today... You know, a respectable soccer blowout...

    Ooops... nevermind... 1-0

    Freedom of speech? I thought you guys claim to be the highly educated and intellectually elite among us. Freedom of speech means Pelosi won't have the government punish you for making a a comment she doesn't like. But if you walked into work one day wearing a KKK outfit saying you want to kill N words, then I'd love to be there when you try to use the argument of free speech when your being fired.

    LOL at "KKK outfit"..... you can say white sheet and hood... we'd know what you meant... You made it sound like something you'd buy at The Gap...

    But you are going to equate saying outloud you want to kill people against a silent protest during the anthem? Best of luck...
