    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.

        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..

                      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.

                      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.

                        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

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

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

                                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.
