    Correct. When the NA is played, one is to stand and face the flag. Other gestures are personal. Such as parade rest or salute, or hand over heart.

    You are correct. The RW is lying about the photo.

    Yep! Someone is lying through their teeth. Anyway, there are four people in the photo and (lo! And behold!) they are looking in three different directions! It's a "photo-chop-shop" for sure.

    BTW: I think this must be the first time we've ever agreed on anything. I am going to cherish this moment. :razz:

    Megan Rapinoe honors America by wrapping herself up in a USA flag:


    [​IMG]




    She also makes good money by endorsing the patriotic Nike shoe company. She makes the USA and all patriots proud unlike jackass Trump who is hellbent on causing a war and bringing disgrace to our country.

    Patriots stand for the pledge.

    Slaves kneel before their masters. This woman is part of the problem. Let her bask in her shameless behavior.

    If you are going to quote my post...
    ...Please quote It in it's ENTIRETY...

    Nothing personal, just a friendly suggestion to not take my remarks out of context.

    Thx in advance.:salute:

    Anyway, Trump is the problem. Not Megan.:flagus:

    Are you anti-American or are you anti-Democracy? Or are you both anti-American and anti-Democracy? Trump is your president. You voted him into office by Democratic means. If you didn't want him representing your country you ought to have voted for someone you think would have been a better president and represents your needs and wishes. Here's a tip: In a Democracy, the people vote for the man or woman they feel will do the best job for what the American people need. That is EXACTLY what the American population did, in case you haven't noticed.

    And now she calls the White House the F..ing White House

    “I’m not going to the f---ing White House,” Rapinoe said. “No, I’m not going to the White House. We’re not going to be invited. I doubt it.”

    The coaches should bench her for a game, maybe she'll take the hint and leave and go home and there she can protest and slam our country on her own dime and her own time.

    They believed the Clinton administration and Blix was a joke but if the refuted Bush then why did he want to keep searching for WMD?

    "Dissatisfied" is a more accurate term. No one "hates" something. It just isn't possible by sheer definition. "Hate" is an over-used and misused word in the U.S. and is just as meaningless as "Uh" or "Duh".

    The American flag was founded in oppression of black people and women. So, why is she wrapping herself in the American flag, but won't put her hand on her heart and sing the National Anthem? Megan is obviously uninformed about history.

    Amen! Trump is a traitor and a disgrace. He should resign from the White Wash House, go on trial for his sex crimes, and face international charges for warmongering.

    What is Rapinoe doing in the picture in the OP that you consider not honoring the flag?

    Her word's, the look on her face, that she would let it overcome the honor of playing on our national team and she would use it to slam our country on the world stage. No she hates it and should not be on the team.

    Interesting that you say that about the American flag and quote Ben Franklin in your signature. Had you known the truth you would realize that he became an abolitionist:


    The group was called the Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery and the Relief of Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage. Franklin was convinced that not only the slave trade, but slavery itself should be eliminated. He eventually freed his own two slaves.

    Contrary to your mythic belief, the flag was not founded on slavery but rather to end it. BTW, Franklin also approved of legal equalization for women.

    Blix was not a joke as he was proven to be correct. Bush is an imperialist traitor who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands while enriching wealthy elites.

    Yes, and Jefferson's first draft called for the abolition of slavery, but some southern states would not go for it so he took it out.

    I was fricking dissatisfied with the country from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2016 also.
