Once again, we have athletes making fools of themselves.
The latest episode from the ingrates comes from the Women's World Cup soccer match.
For the record, I am not a big soccer fan but it's always nice to cheer for the home team. In my case, it's the nice country that adopted my family years ago. In the case of these young women, it's the country that gave them this opportunit

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.

We're not rooting for a non-American team, even if it is wearing USA on its uniforms. Sorry to the ones who did sing. It's the company you keep.

Curious - do the players get support from the government? If so, stop it.

Get a new team together, throw these dames all out. End of story. I do not donate a dime to the Olympic team any longer and told them when they learn how to behave like proud Americans not like political jerks they will get money again, not before.

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.
