“We’re Not Women’s Soccer, We’re Not the NFL!” Hockey Coach Tells Players If They Disrespect...

A video is going viral online of a hockey coach telling his players,

“We’re not women’s soccer. We’re not the NFL! If there’s anybody here who is going to be disrespectful to either the American or the Canadian national anthem, grab your gear and get the [bleep] out now because you’ll never see the ice in this arena. We don’t have that problem in hockey, we’re better than that but there was no sense in wasting anybody’s time if that shit was going to happen.”

The coach is referring to Trump-hating soccer player Megan Rapinoe and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Tiger Woods agrees with Nike and it’s America hatred if he endorses them

There is just no other way around it

Worth watching over and over.

A room full of white men, probably some Canadians, Americans, maybe some Europeans. Respect for both national anthems is MANDATORY. No excuses, no exceptions. If you don't like it GTFO.

Worth watching over and over.

Bravo and Amen!

Trump should invite that guy to the White House — rather than fruitlessly try to earn points with women by praising soccer teams that disrespect the flag and politicize the game.

I would leave out the patriotic comment and say if you are patriotic or not no one on team time disrespects the anthem without bringing the whole team, the fans and the owners with them

To separate himself from such nonsense, George Foreman, upon winning the GOLD in the boxing match, pulled out two American flags and waved them proudly.

And that is one thing I truly admire about George..he has NEVER played the race card.. ever.

Communists have a problem with the church also. It’s the idea that it’s God’s will when their lives are the pits and others are doing so well. No religion. Tell that to the Moozlems.

So what is Mr. Nike (aka Tiger Woods) going to do concerning this? I wonder if he’s pondering his father in the thought process.

I think that Tiger has been generally apolitical, though he is certainly friendly to the current President (and Trump respects that Tiger has been a winner, despite some of his personal foibles.)

Additionally, his father served proudly in the US Army, and I don't see Tiger stomping on any flags...ever.

Perhaps Tiger will use his position to be the anti-Kaepernik, Nike be damned.

Here’s a man that means what he says:

This guy, and his son, are gutty and great for their decisions to place country over petty politics. These guys don’t need a MAGA hat. They live it without having to show it off. These are your heroes, not women’s political teams.

That move from Trump’s golf course in Florida to Mexico was done by the previous, and long time, head of the PGA. He had been an official in the Carter administration, to give you an idea of his politics. That move seemed to be pure spite.

The vast majority of American PGA tour players are very patriotic. If they aren’t, they keep it to themselves. The PGA tour raises a great deal of money for veterans. Many tournaments give free tickets to active duty and retired military, some even to all veterans.

“I think that Tiger has been generally apolitical....”

In a walk by comment made by Fuzzy Zoeller at the 1997 Masters, he made a comment about the probable years winner, Woods, concerning his selection at the players dinner next year being fried chicken.

I was watching Wood’s reaction and he laughed it off as Zoeller was a known jokester. It was reported that Woods later received a call from Jesse Jackson and the next day, attacked Zoeller in the media to the point of almost totally destroying him publicly and professionally costing him millions of dollars in revenue and forcing him to apologize to numerous people about a bad joke. In 2013 he publicly went after Sergio Garcia for the same thing. He should have learned by that time that it was a joke with no malice. He also allowed himself to be the poster boy for mixed race marriages with his parents and his until he was caught with over 25 infidelities. Apolitical? Not on your life.

Tour officials did that, not the players. And then what happens, Kucher gives his Mexican caddie the payment of a lifetime and they complain.

Good on the hockey coach.

Too bad he’ll be forced out in 3, 2,...
