    Well, if you weren't just parroting right wing crap, you have noticed that SHE was not the one who dropped the flag. But that would take a two second fact check, which seems to be beyond you. This is how she carried the flag ... 150802121208-03-women-athletes-super-169.jpg

    Fake news that they dropped it and stomped on it because they hate the flag. That part is fake news though I'm not surprised you can't discern the difference.

    2 seconds 0:07 - 0:09, that's how long the flag was on the ground. And we have 11 pages here?

    The fake outrage is very real.

    Don't give a rat's ass how good players are, if they disrespect the flag and country, I refuse to watch or back them.

    Secondly, I really think a petition and movement should be formed to remove any players who display such behavior and openly use a team representing the US to express their lack of patriotism.

    It's not a matter of free speech, they're supposed to be representing ALL Americans and since half the country disapproves of their political views, they aren't fulfilling their obligation and therefore, should be removed.

    Arguably the pay received by the players on both the men’s and women’s national teams should be the same because they are representing the US. But the salaries they receive playing for their pro teams is completely independent of the national team. If Rapinoe wants that to happen as someone else pointed out she should go to Pelosi.

    IMO this is a case of a few morons who can play soccer.

    I heard and saw enough of them and the unpatriotic behaviors by some and now how Rapinoe has come back and doubled down on making it partisan politics. Reprehensible.

    None of that is unpatriotic. You seem to be missing the point.

    If women in sports want more money, they need to bring in more revenue. Simple as that

    So, she's more prone to the camera and attention. Just like the dude, loose term, in charge of USA. Again, same qualities.

    Soccer is older than than hockey. Hockey copied the game of soccer and put it on skates. And made fist fights part of the fiasco. Wrestling, boxing, and soccer on skates. So hockey isn't really a sport, it's bad entertainment at its best.

    I think he got and showed the point extremely well.
    They are NOT unpatriotic. They did upset baby donnie and so his supporters also got all bothered.
    That's about the gist of this lying thread also.

    It's not about worshipping the flag. It's about being a decent American. It's disrespectful to other Americans.

    I told my son what you said. He said you are full of crap. I am going to go with his take only because I know him personally.

    Are you claiming hockey is older than soccer?
    That hockey isn't soccer on skates? Of course a puck as opposed to a ball.
