Hatred of America is very unpopular with real Americans. If these women are trying to kill their sport they are off to a good start. The kneelers in the NFL, NBA and MLB turned me off for life. I have never watched women's soccer above the college level and never will.

Soccer is a boring game with little action and boring athletes. They run up and down the field ad nauseum and every so often score. So just to prove they have little to very few brains, they insult their country and the people who support them. #2 has it exactly right.

If the Women's World Cup were to just stop today, midstream, would anyone notice or care in the USA? Probably not. Angry Megan Rapione and her pals could just quietly creep off to the dust bin of history.

Respecting and singing the Anthem is a token of participation in America, as is representing the country in a sport. If you don't want to, don't do it.

My son is a dual citizen of USA & The Netherlands. We will be whole-heartedly cheering for the Dutch team against the Americans in their next match. We have no qualms about it since they represent themselves and not America, anyhow.

Money Talks! Where is the funding coming from, that allows them to participate? I think those Folks who sent money to this Group of Girls should send them a Text Message and inform their Coach that the Money stops now! If they think so little of their Country, why should anyone here care if they get to play Soccer or not! Also, it says a lot about a Coach who ALLOWS this kind of behavior to take place for the World to see!

The foundational principle for playing on any national sports team should be love of country. That's the absolute bottom line. Any unpatriotic athlete should not even be considered for a national team, or should be booted from the team for boorish behavior on the field such as kneeling during the anthem. Some of the women on the American team put their right hands over their hearts and sang the national anthem. I stand and sing with them. Unfortunately, they aren't the best known members of the team, and they're not in the majority. That is so sad. How can Rapinoe and her cohorts be made to feel shame? Doubtless, there are many creative, legal ways.

Soccer is an amazingly boring game. Nothing happens for huge long periods. A couple of times I've tried to get a soccer fan to explain it to me how they could watch it with nothing happening....but they go all ga-ga about "how he kicked that ball just perfectly" and "the pass was great" and stuff like that. They have to focus on tiny, tiny bits of form in kicking the ball....because that's the only thing that happens for huge long periods. Any game where it seems that the most common score is 1-0 is a damned boring game. ONE score in maybe two hours of 'play'?? And then you put in women who, by all accounts from people who know far more about it than I do, are relatively poor players - a "national champ" team easily beaten by a random 9th grade boys team? Hah! So their standard of play is low, and their obnoxious hate-America-first factor is very high. Nasty bwitches, and poor players. I hope they lose.

The corporate media’s blackout on the ongoing Biden corruption investigation continued this week despite the publication of an unclassified document detailing President Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in an international bribery scheme. The propaganda press didn’t just ignore Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s sharing of the bombshell FD-1023 and the FBI’s ongoing attempts to stonewall its debut. Some outlets actually went out of their way to downplay the years of evidence accumulated in the Biden bribery investigation.

A project to build a national museum of Latino history and culture is up in the air amid a dispute over the museum’s contents that has cast its funding prospects into the larger fight over the fiscal 2024 budget. The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved an interior and environment funding bill that bans the federal government from spending any taxpayer money on the National Museum of the American Latino, part of the Smithsonian Institution, which was approved by Congress in 2020. With zero funding for a project that’s been a core priority for many U.S. Latinos,

On Tuesday the House Oversight Committee released a 14-year timeline of the Biden Crime Family’s influence peddling and selling out America to foreign regimes including Communist China. The Oversight Committee is likely just scratching the surface of the criminal actions by Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and the extended Biden family. The Biden family was selling out America to Ukraine, Romania, and Communist China. There is plenty of proof. On Wednesday IRS Whistleblower Joseph Ziegler confirmed in sworn testimony to Congress that the Biden Family received approximately $17 million in bribes from China, Romania, and other countries in exchange for political favors.

NEW YORK (AP) — Set aside the polls, the fundraising numbers or Donald Trump’s name recognition as metrics of his early dominance of the Republican presidential contest. He has what could prove to be the most important advantage in the race: a leg up in winning the delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination. While the delegate count won’t begin taking shape until voting begins next January, Trump’s edge in the race to win their votes is years in the making.

Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday. He said that the donor class needs to pressure candidates with no path to drop out by February of next year at the very latest.“Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president,” he wrote. “That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person race before Mr. Trump has the nomination sewn up.”

A majority of Americans - and an overwhelming number of Democrats - no longer support First Amendment protections for free speech. The government should restrict “false” information online, even if doing so blocks people from “publishing or accessing information,” 55 percent of Americans said in a large poll released Thursday. Only 42 percent disagreed. The antipathy to free speech represents a sea change in attitudes in just five years. It is driven by a powerful new hostility to First Amendment rights on the left. In an identically worded poll five years ago, Democrats and Republicans favored free speech online by roughly 3 to 2 margins. Today
