Mistake Number 1: Attending a soccer game.
Mistake Number 2: Watching a soccer game.
Mistake Number 3: Thinking soccer is a sport appreciated by Americans.

i don't mean to sound "racist", but how many members of the league are not-native born Americans or naturalized citizens? Mayhaps, they have little or no regard for American history or its culture. It is what it is.

Fine. A Utah soccer team has gone snowflake on the Betsy Ross flag.
These fools don’t understand how few would feel pain if they never had to watch a soccer game - ever...

Like I care what foreign imports who play soccer in the US have to say about anything. I can go to a bar and watch people struggle to score than at a soccer game. I have never watched soccer and certainly won't start now.

Soccer is extremely boring and not worth of anyone's time. Kudos to this couple for attempting to add value to an otherwise useless event.

With the very small number of fans the Major Soccer League already has, I'm guessing they can't really afford to offend the few they have left!!!

Soccer is an ''International'' sport. It has no roots in the U.S. I would bet there are flags waved by the crowds from countries that hate us.

Can you imagine any other country or political or activist interest group tolerating the redefinition of the meaning of or misappropriation of their flag or emblem or symbol by their enemies or antagonists?

I read in the last several days of the Portland, OR MLS team being a favorite of the local anitifa crowd. They pack an area of the stadium and are particularly obnoxious and combative. With soccer less than interesting to most Americans, it looks to be a natural fit for those hating our country.

I didn't realize there was a premier Major league Soccer. And now they have less than half as many fans as they had yesterday.

Soccer has always been anti-American. Now we have concrete evidence! I say we need to boycott it as well as pro American football too.

I'd boycott "Major League Soccer" in the same way that I now boycott the NFL and NBA . . . except that I've never watched "Major League Soccer"

Major League Soccer is loved by the liberals in Portland and Seattle. That should answer any question you might have had about their decision.

We live in the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE. Since when do we "ban" anything so silly? The HATE is here among the left and this "banning" stuff is all about being the ones to control language and actions. To hell with them.

To add to #4, if those foreign players want to continue to take American dosh, they need to start respecting the nation they play in. Only real hate group I know of is the Democrat party that hates history and America. Same with this league.

Symbol of hate groups?
Name them.
The Betsy Ross flag is a legitimate US Flag and can be flow as same as the 50 star flag of today. That would be from the mast of a US Navy ship, or behind the President of the United States. And here is the one to get the hackles up - so is the Gadsden flag - the "Don't Tread on Me" flag.
Stupidity is not confined to the NFL.
