But stand for the host country anthem. Stupid girls.

The players and coaches wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts in warmups before the game, which was nationally televised on CBS. The players also knelt during a moment of silence before kickoff.
“We took a knee today to protest racial injustice, police brutality and systemic racism against Black people and people of color in America. We love our country and we have taken this opportunity to hold it to a higher standard. It is our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms this nation was founded upon are extended to everyone,” the Thorns and Courage said in a joint statement released before the game.
The league confirmed the day before that it would play the national anthem before the Challenge Cup games and that it would support the players in whatever they chose to do.
During the late match between the Red Stars and the Washington Spirit a few players remained standing. There was a touching moment when Chicago’s Julie Ertz consoled teammate Casey Short, who was overcome by emotion. The NWSL is the first professional team sport in the United States to return amid the coronavirus outbreak. The monthlong Challenge Cup is being played without fans at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah.
“Today, hopefully, it was a powerful statement,” Courage midfielder Sam Mewis said after her team defeated the Thorns 2-1. “It was an emotional time and I hope that both teams’ message comes through clearly.”
Thorns defender Becky Sauerbrunn said: “The (players’ association) has been about collaborating with teams on what we can do to maintain and sustain the conversation around racial injustice in this country.

The message I got was "Stay Away!".
Aye, aye, sir.
Does anybody do any research to find out what they are really supporting?
CBS must be really hard up to broadcast woman’s soccer nationally.
Like everything else from the Left, it’s all a toxic confection of lies and fraud.
As if we needed one more reason not to watch women’s soccer.
There is obviously something super natural going on. The forces bent on bringing forth a new world order has put everything on the table in this country. All those who have allegiance to this new order are kneeling in submission.
President Trump has been slow (and maybe rightfully so), to get in front of this as he did with the COVID-19 attack. BLM has taken the lead and has become the voice of this push towards a new world system.
Trump still has an opportunity to regain his footing but he must fully understand what is in store for him. He is being openly opposed by the large corporations in our country along with a large portion of the population.
They will continue their efforts in creating chaos, taking over towns, terrorizing neighborhoods, demoralizing the public, damaging the economy. They are looking to create enough fear and anxiety to cause the American public to have a knew jerk reaction on election day and remove President Trump.
What can President Trump do. First he must get his allies on board with his efforts both domestic and foreign. Bring allies front and center in your efforts ( You have the daughter of MLK, Rev Graham, Bishop Vigano etc.), and strengthen American ties between India and Taiwan sign a security pact. Send them weapons and munitions. Offer the Hispanic community something acceptable in exchange for their support (I am not seeing them on the streets).
He must establish control of the chaos. By arresting all the leaders of these groups. And federalized the guard. People at this time are okay with a bit of violence for security in their neighborhoods (tear gas, stink bombs, rubber bullets are very effective for most). Give the police your support and put out you will pardon any who is unreasonably charged with a federal crime while performing his/her duty.
Bring back a new Corona task force targeted at protecting the health of communities against mass gatherings of protester’s not social distancing.
Become the alternative to the madness in the country. And again I will say again we must usurp the symbolism of kneeling to anarchy with kneeling to God by promoting a period of silence and prayer separate from dishonoring our country.
Label the democrats as racists for policies hurting minorities. Call out the black face democrats and their history of enslavement.
Hit Biden hard, for the man is a walking target of issues many of which people should be ashamed of.
So much opportunity and not enough energy at them moment on the Trump team. Hopefully it is all been for organization on these issues. Too much at stake to sit back and wait for better timing for the time is now.
“””The players and coaches wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts””
So they support a radical marxist group that wants to destroy the USA. Fn idiots.

How gutsy. How edgy. (rolling eyes)
They all look like dudes.
Does anybody do any research to find out what they are really supporting?
No, of course not. Nobody researches that the Black Lives Matter organization supports Marxism.
People do not know what the Black Lives Matter organization stands for or what their agenda is.
This society has become so damn politically correct, that people are afraid to say anything against the Black Lives Matter organization, for fear of being called a racist.
They set up these discussions, so that if one says they believe that “black lives matter”, lower case letters, the concept that black lives matter, then one must support “Black Lives Matter”, upper case letters, the organization dedicated to Marxism, otherwise be condemned as racist, and subject to cancel culture punishment.
Nobody watches women’s sports except parents and girlfriend....
I wonder how many players and coaches really think kneeling is a proper thing to do. Of course, we’ll never know. Any objection would be a career-ending move.
It’s like when Stalin made a public appearance. Everyone in the audience had better clap loudly and enthusiastically. It didn’t matter what you actually thought about Stalin. Clap loudly and enthusiastically. Or pack your bags for the gulag.
I could stop it real fast. I would say “You care about Black Lives? OK. If you kneel, then your salary for the game will instead go to the United Negro College Fund. Go ahead. Kneel all you want.”
If they are ashamed of the USA then they really are hypocrites to be on the USA national team.
Even if I did watch, I wouldn’t any longer!
In the picture posted above I get the feeling that the women with her hand on her heart is like one of those prisoners in Vietnam who was forced to make propaganda statements but intentionally dorked up some stuff a real American would instantly recognize showed that he was doing it under duress but a Vietnamese commie wouldn’t.
While you are down there....
