    Oh it does, but I'm not going to expect an ignorant alt to follow that.

    If Cleve wants to start this thread he can. It's not like anyone is making it so threads in the poli board have to be political. Even if I think its a little crude.... he's right about Dahlkemper for damn sure. Alex still being my favorite though.

    He's right about Hope Solo too. Her face and everything when she plays is gorgeous... then... well...

    I'm sure Cleve would be happy to hear that.  Btw is "sidekick" a position is soccer?

    Most all sports are fun to play. I don't watch baseball, basketball, hockey, except on rare occasions during the playoffs... and avoid soccer like the plague,  but as a kid playing pick up games whether it be baseball, basketball, and even soccer...they were all fun to play.

    It's not that soccer doesn't take skill.

    What differentiates pro soccer from the others and why Americans think it sucks is that you can be brain dead dumb blonde and play the game.

    Of all the sports I mentioned soccer is the only non cerebral game. There are next to no statistics, Americans like statistics. Its a huge part of sports talk.

    Coaches are just spectators. Diagram plays? Defensive strategies? Americans expect those sorts of things out of pro sports. When you watch soccer you feel dumb. That's why soccer sucks.

    I mean, that isn't true. You "avoid it like the plague", so it makes sense you don't know what you're talking about. I'll just leave it at that, instead of engaging with an alt 

  • Too bad politics gets involved in sports. In any sport. It didn't used to be that way, at least not to the degree we see it now. I follow politics and like to talk politics much of the time but to me I like to see sports off limits to politics and all the focus just being on the sport itself.  I get enough politics already and sports is an escape from it. It was uncalled for Rapinoe to make her unsolicited comment about not going to the "blanking"  White House. Her comments only takes away from the team's victory as a victory for the whole country and was divisive IMO.

    - She was asked if she'd be going to the White House. It wasn't unsolicited

    - Her comments do nothing to take away from the victory

    - Again, Trump acting like a petty child was still much worse

    - Athletes should be able to use their platform as they see fit. No "shut up and dribble". Just because you don't like what they're saying doesn't mean they should be silenced. Now, that doesn't protect them from any consequences. 

    - I'm sure you had no problem with Tebow being as Christian as possible at every opportunity. Or being in a Pro Life ad.

  • That bitch should be kicked out of the USA.

    She could have simply said she wasn't going. I didn't think Trump's response was bad considering what she said. Should he have responded at all? Maybe not or he could have just said something like he was sorry she felt that way.  Trump has already sent out congratulations to the women's soccer team. 

    - "Athletes should be able to use their platform as they see fit. No "shut up and dribble". Just because you don't like what they're saying doesn't mean they should be silenced. Now, that doesn't protect them from any consequences". 

    OK I agree with that but if one wants to kneel during the national anthem they are doing it on company time so to speak and they can protest on their own time and their own dime..

    Poor old Woody. Thinks that everybody that's not a lefty must certainly be at Alt.

    But he is a soccer fan. So... personally I place soccer just below championship curling and care even less about any women's sport. But slightly glad just because they are Americans. Regardless of the politics.

    WSS

    I believe there are several alt accounts that frequent this board and the football side - the posting style supports said belief.   And since I'm not a leftist I presume my words carry a bit more weight when I chime in.

    Everyone that isn't far to the right is a leftist on here...

    The NFL is a private group so they can enact rules as they see fit regarding kneeling. 

    I think just having the mindset that is was ok Trump responded kind of shows how that has shifted since he took over. I personally think the president should be held to a higher standard.

  • obaMao was never held to any standard. the standard is extreme leftwing politically oriented.

    like

    Epstein not being prosecuted under a friendly deal with the obamao corrupt DOJ.

    like higgardly never being prosecuted (I.e., for deleting 33,000 emails AFTER THEY WERE SUBPOENAED)

    etc. etc etc

    And they should see fit who they put on their roster.

    Somehow the leftist envision Kapperdick as the next Joe Montana and the NFL owners are just blackballing him.

    They gave him a payday to just to go the fuck away.

    No one thinks he's Joe Montana (I don't think). But on skill alone he definitely could have been on an NFL roster. 

  • its only a piece of cloth to them.  they would respect another flag other than ours.

  • Oh Christ. Now we've got all of conservative Trump Twitter ready to pounce on the women's National Soccer team
