Soccer is a physical, chaotic, insane game in which the players, except goalkeepers, cannot use their hands or arms. Krieger and Rapinoe fit right in ‘cause they’re insane.

Dear MISS Krieger and MISS Rapinoe:

I hope the Frenchies kick your asses. You don’t represent me OR my Country.

“...to speak at the Democratic Convention next year...”

Apropos... because THAT organization doesn’t represent my Country either.

Perhaps they should consider the example of Rui Hachimura, recently drafted by the Washington Wizards. He’s the first Japanese player drafted in the first round, and speaks of his responsibility to represent his country.
_________________________________________

Yes, he used to play for Gonzaga...He does not look like some angry guy who is bitter about some injustice.

His father is from Africa. His mother is Japanese...It is possible that, when he was growing up, some kids made fun of him because he was not “100%” Japanese. I am just speculating...Japan is not like US.

In any case, I might actually watch some games when Hachimura plays...I am curious about how much success he will have in NBA...There are not many Asian players in NBA. There was Yao Ming...I thought that he was a fine player. I also thought that he was a nice guy...

Strong feeling the Frogs are going to clobber the U.S. Lesbian National Team today, and then this anti-Trump, anti-American dyke platoon will drop off the headlines.

I agree, if USWNT loses to France, American people’s interest in the Women’s World Cup will decline dramatically...

Many people are watching this World Cup just because Team USA is in it...They do not care about women’s soccer really...They just want to support Team USA. That is all...

Men’s World Cup in Russia last year...A different story...Many Americans watched those games even though Team USA was not there. Many Americans wanted to see excellent players like Messi and Ronaldo play...

On July 7, two teams will play in the championship game for this Women’s World Cup...I have a feeling that many Americans will ignore this game if Team USA was not in it...

Watch the Gold Cup, then, featuring the US Men. Barely even gets a mention, although they've won every game so far.

They have blackballed Jaelene Hinkle for 2 years because she quietly refused to wear a rainbow-themed jersey in 2017 due to her Christian beliefs. She is clearly one of the best at her position in the women’s professional league. They claim it was a “soccer decision” to leave her off the team. In reality, it was to placate players like Rapinoe and Krieger. See the article below:

I do agree with you that Coach Jill Ellis has to worry about not angering lesbian players like Rapinoe and Krieger...

I will try to watch the USMNT...I did watch some highlights of Gold Cup on Fox Soccer Tonight.

I will definitely watch the Gold Cup final between US and Mexico if that happens this year.

I actually do not mind watching women’s soccer...I do intend to watch the final game of this World Cup even if USWNT is not playing in that game...

Stop all federal tax support or subsidy of all sports of any kind or sort, professional or amature, domestic or international.

Name it the Rapinoe Law.

I do remember him...He was with Toronto Raptors and got the championship ring...He played for a minute during the Finals.

He may play again next season. He is a free agent.

Concur with all. The USWNT has made themselves unpopular with half the country, most of whom are not watching them, even right now as they play France.
