Several members of the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) turned away from the flag as a 98-year-old WWII veteran played the national anthem.
The incident occurred Monday, just before the USWNT took-on Mexico in their final tune-up before the Tokyo Olympics. A longer version of the video can be seen here: The veteran playing the harmonica is Pete DuPré, who has gained national notoriety playing the anthem at sporting events all over the country. The USWNT protest on Monday was not the first time U.S. athletes have snubbed the flag while qualifying for the Olympics. In late June, hammer thrower Gwen Berry also turned away
Not going to watch, but I bet the purple haired dyke MeAgain RapinHO was right in the middle of it.
Here's to a first round exit for these woke pieces of dogshyte.

Maybe I’m not remembering it right but wasn’t this “champion” US Women’s Team the one that was beaten by a pickup team of 15-year-old Texas boys?

Women soccer is already boring. Not even 1% good of the men soccer to watch.
Keep this up, and the 10 people watching you will also quit.

I don't support people who derive benefit from the country and then turn their back on its flag. They should be dropped....at a bare minimum.

One day their plane will make an emergency landing in some faraway place like Uganda or Iran. Then we can take bets on who they will call for help. As for purple-head, she has my permission to break a leg anytime.

These people certainly have the right to protest, having said that, it is obvious they do not in any fashion represent the United States. Why are they on the team? They need to and have only represented themselves.

Fire the coach and cut all the players. Soccer is a second/third world sport forced on kids and parents. Bring back kick ball.

Of course they have a right to protest. And I have a right not to watch them, and not to buy anything from a company that hires them as a spokeswoman. So bye Victoria's Secret and bye Subway. Meghan Rapinho is a brat pure and simple.

Send them to the Olympics in Japan, and REVOKE their passports, do not allow them to enter back into the USA and send an apology to Japan for depositing such disgusting people in their country.

This will be the first Olympics where the people of the USA will be hoping and cheering athletes and teams from other nations to win for some sports. If these people done support our country (flag), they do not deserve to represent it. I don't care if they are " the best".

Let's replace the whole lot with scantily-clad Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders playing dodge ball. In that way, at least a few thousand Americans will watch.
Notice how very few of them put their hand on their heart or stood at attention?

Ah, the Women's Soccer Team. They play 14 year old boys teams for a tough practice...
But not the 16 year old high school soccer teams. The women would lose.

They in no way should represent my country.
The Olympics has become a joke with tranny's and Lesbians and America haters showing up to play .
They do not represent America or American ideals and should not be allowed to go to a foreign country and claim to represent us.

Shouldn't there be a rule that if you represent the USA you keep your mouth shut and yourself face forward, just out of respect. I truly wish there was an ALTERNATE league for those who hate the USA. (And isn't that purple haired harridans a new Veronica's Secret model? Are they NHUTS? Or just on their last legs.)

Ahhhhh....I had forgotten about SUBWAY, but won't now. Here's to Jersey Mikes or any other competitor! (And by the way, this is why there is ALWAYS a huge line at Chic Fit A.....not because their product is any better, but because they don't disrespect the country that allows them freedom.....at least at this point.)

Isn't that the team that has practiced against a male high school team and loses. I have no interest in people that don't support the country that supports them.

Make them pay back any taxpayer money spent on them for training, housing, etc. to get them to the Olympics. They don't deserve the first penny.

They could play the al Qaeda Womens' National Team, and I know what side I'd be rooting for.

FTA: the spokesperson claims these players were looking at a different flag elsewhere in the stadium.
Funny, I couldn't spot a rainbow flag or hammer & sickle anywhere.

Okay so we all get distracted by a bunch of scruffy, brain damaged leftard athletes - why isnt anyone going after the coaches and owners of the team(s)??? THEYRE responsible for this!! THEYRE the ones who permit this. HIT THEM where it hurts! Those ridiculous creeps out on the field get booh-koohs of money for tossing a ball around...they cant get that money if their owners dont have any.
Haul the owners/coaches out onto the field and make THEM pay!

"The veteran playing the harmonica is Pete DuPré, who has gained national notoriety playing the anthem at sporting events all over the country." The word notorious means 'famous for being bad'. What was bad about Mr. DuPre playing at sporting events all over the country? Did he generate negative controversy playing at those events? If so, why? Methinks someone doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'notoriety'.

The congregation members at my church sung the anthem on the 4th. We even used the verses that recognize God.

For the most part, women’s sports are second rate. It’s why the WNBA has to be subsidized by the NBA. They have a hard time drawing even a small audience. Normally, I wouldn’t care since the only sports I watched this year was The Masters and US Open but when a corporation supports anti-Americans, I go into boycott mode. I don’t know what Subway execs were thinking but they are living in some kind of woke bubbles. One of the rules of business is to know who your customer base is and tailor your marketing efforts to that base. I find it hard to believe that America-hating lesbians make up much of Subway’s clientele. I think that a lot of the executives in business today got the full measure of leftist indoctrination in college and are about to learn a hard lesson in marketing.
