    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...

    - 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..

    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

  • Awesome 

  • I need to start watching more hockey.

  • This is Connor Cook, who is from the Cleveland area...   Granted Archie isn't the same as the flag, but you get the idea that in these kinds of moments, it is a complete and utter whirlwind. 

    Connor grew up idolizing Archie like many Ohio kids.  Later apologized and admitted he was caught up in the moment and wasn't thinking straight. 

    Unless you've done it before or are somehow emotional less, you're just along for the ride.  Provided you've actually won something hard fought in your life. Especially as a team.  Good look, the girl that initially dropped the flag started picking it back up when she realized what happened. 

    Highly doubt any girl on that team would sacrifice and work the way they do if they didn't have a love for this country and its people.     But my chatter might not fit narratives, so I can see the issue my words will bring. 

  •  "Good look, the girl that initially dropped the flag started picking it back up when she realized what happened."

    I think you're right I don't think she was deliberately trying to be disrespectful but dropping the American flag on the ground is disrespectful. I don't think her motive was to be disrespectful and that she appeared to get caught up in the moment. I was glad to see her teammate pick it up immediately.

    That's my point - there is no malice intended.   That's why we don't get mad when  we see fans wearing the flag around their shoulders to a game - there's no malice in it.   

    This is a non issue.   Just America flexing its athletic muscle on the world stage.  ??????

  • People bitching just to bitch, as directed by their political affiliation. Happens both ways.
