That's a good role model for your kids.
The role model argument left the building when Trump took center stage. Rapinoe is a saint compared to the #1 role model in the country, the President. Why should anyone in a free society owe one iota of respect to a president who shows nothing but disrespect? F*ck that noise.
It's just their way of protest is often disrespectful to the country to the flag or to the office of the President.
They are protesting certain aspects or individuals, not the whole country, or all the flag represents. The flag represents their right to use the flag as protest. A tired point by now. A paradox indeed.
I never know who any of these people are until rightwingers stsrt hollering about them. Even then for me its "oh a basketball player is registering dissent, good for him, still a free country," and move on as quick as I heard it. Reagan, Bush, used to comment on protests as being a sign of a free country. It's a GOOD THING, man, as All American as it gets!
Understanding that Free speech is a cornerstone...
Does anyone else think this woman is a complete fool/tool?
Not a complete fool/tool. Maybe partial. Remember she doesn't support the president.
Yeah well he probably doesn't need jock supporters anyway.
It's just the impression I get from most of the folks that kneel during the anthem or refuse to go to the White House. I'm sure I'm wrong. I do respect a good soccer player for playing good soccer. Or a good quarterback for playing good football. I have trouble with athletes and actors that think because they're good at what they do any intelligent person will give a rats butt about their politics. It's just their way of protest is often disrespectful to the country to the flag or to the office of the President. That really causes me to respect them less. If you don't want to go to the White House don't go. Why do you need to tell everybody why you didn't want to go? And to further my point why the profanity? That's a good role model for your kids.
Let's be honest here. You don't like what she said and that's why you don't like it. It seems like those around here that are always complaining when a celebrity voices an opinion are the same ones who are first to share an open letter by Charlie Daniels. Those that complain about the office of the president not being respected went on and on about Obama's birth certificate with Trump leading the charge even after the birth certificate was produced. She has every right to express an opinion, especially when she was just answering a question. When so many athletes decide that they don't want to meet the president, maybe you should ask yourself why instead of immediately reacting as if they insulted your mother. Some people are better than others at spotting false patriotism.

Just to clarify - you're not saying that "5 deferments Don" and a bone spur is not patriotic?

Megan, Charlie, Colin & Robert Di Niro, The list is endless......Could care less about the political views they share. Athlete, musician or actor. Just because you have a voice that projects or a podium, does not mean you're immune to the criticism. Think your opinion is important enough to share?. Be prepared for dissent. I think it is the size of their egos that irritates me the most.
Ted Nugent and Ms, Rapinoe are perfectly suited for one another; birds of a feather
well they are both lesbians
Donald Trump.
Class act.
I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it.
I did try and f**k her. She was married.
And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I'll show you where they have some nice furniture." I took her out furniture—I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look.
I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pu**y. You can do anything.

How do I cure Cat Scratch Fever?
Cat-scratch disease - To prevent cat-scratch disease
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after playing with your cat...
Play gently with cats so they don't scratch and bite.
Don't allow a cat to lick your skin, eyes, mouth, or open wounds or scratches.
Use flea control measures to lower the risk your cat develops the disease.
Don't touch feral cats.
That's a good role model for your kids.

Yeah KC, I am not sure I can follow Your logic here, are You saying I should raise my 3 boys and 1 girl to respect the kind of person who defraud's business partners, contractors, suppliers, workers and customers? The kind of person who proudly and gleefully brags that he sexual assaults women without their consent? The kind of person who openly mocks a handicapped person? Man I appreciate Your view point, but I think I will keep raising my kids to try and be considerate, kind and understanding to others and to not be afraid to stand up and tell that type of person to "Go Puck himself"..........Peace.......joe

Go Puck himself
Raising some confident freethinking hockey players there sounds like
I was an athlete in my youth and loved playing many sports and think they have their place in our society, but I've grown a bit tired of this nations obsession with sports teams.
I've always thought the whole invite the latest greatest sports team to the White House to acknowledge their accomplishments is tacky as f*ck. But your mileage may vary....
I am just having a hard time grasping the Right Wing thinking here on this, they claim to despise political correctness as a "Lefty" thing, but the very second someone insults their boy wonder, they instantaneously become Missy Manners?......Peace......joe
One win away from not f*****g going.
The trump supporters that I see at those stupid rally's he hosts, remind me of the simpletons that believe the WWF is real. 😉 A really sad lot, of losers and gullible fools. 😛
July 17 is Trump's next rally in Greenville, NC - the same day Mueller testifies. Coincidental? A rally of 100 lies & white nationalism. Can you hear the chants - "Lock her up" and "Who is going to pay for the wall"? His most recent rally was a rehash of greatest hits from his run for prez - same lines & same chants. Creativity & originality are not his best attributes. Making up nicknames for the competition...now that's a skill.
Trump feels the need and direct timing to fend off Mueller's testimony in front of Congress. This is the same Trump that says Mueller exonerated him even though that is another big lie.

No, (and I am sorry to correct you), but the people who believe this are your true gullible fools

For somebody who doesn't believe this, you sure are obsessed with it.

"Obsessed"?..I do find it worth laughing at. Why didn't they just gift wrap the election and hand it to the president on a silver platter?
And btw, "F" Ms. Rapinoe

Haven’t seen you this fired up since those conservative athletes refused to go to the Obama White House.

Does any of that include Ted Nugent? You know musicians are all cats in the band!
I'm in the F' Rapinoe camp. It's sad that the "American" soccer team has turned itself into a lesbian political partisan team. I saw a news show, no not Fox that had the issue of Rapinoe pushing the F' Trump and the White House invite narrative, but accepts AOC's Democratic House Of Congress invite. They stated how there are multiple lesbians on the team and added there's even a mother on the team. Now Schumer is inviting (accepted) them, Pelosi got in on AOC's invite, and now Deblasio will be back on the parade float for another NYC parade tomorrow. I wonder when Kamala, Butigieg, Booker, Gabbard, and the rest of the Democratic field attempts to have parades in Cali, Iowa, Indiana, Hawaii, NJ, and beyond. I'm waiting for the Pro Incest and Animae candidates to arise? Everybody has rights ya know.
Sports has been ruined by politics. The ratings will suffer.
This is a great sports story (for me a Mets fan especially), that should be praised. While the NFL, NBA & USWS have gone political, Baseball with all it's ethnic diversity remains the shining light in sports.
Peter Alonso a league minimum earning rookie won the All Star Weekend Home Run Derby which comes with a $1,000,000 monetary prize has pledged to donate it to the Wounded Warriors Fund for disabled veterans and their families. He stated how much of his family have served our country.
Like Apple Pie and Chevrolet. An All "American" gesture. I love the Jim Abbott and Pat Tillman types of American Sports Stars. I hope this kid has a long and storied career.

Except they haven't.
