The U.S. men’s national soccer team joined the current wave of sports figures advocating for more control through an open letter addressed to the U.S. Congress.
Echoing talking points espoused by Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, the letter asks congress when they will enact change to curtail gun violence.
“We are writing to join the millions of people around the country who are asking a simple question: When are we going to do something about gun violence in America?” the letter starts. “With legislation being considered in the coming days in the House and Senate, we implore you to stand with the majority of Americans who support stronger gun laws.”
Given that the U.S. men’s soccer team features players from Europe and other parts of the world with lower gun violence than the United States, the letter goes on to lament how the team is so often “asked how in a place like the United States there can be such horrific gun violence.”
“We are also asked why the representatives of the people do nothing even though most Americans want them to take action,” the letter continued. “Those of us who play professionally abroad experience none of these things in our daily lives, yet we return home to a place where mass shootings are frighteningly common and the victims are often defenseless children.”
Without outlining specific policy, the letter further implores both U.S. House Representatives and U.S. Senators to vote “this week to address gun violence in America.”
“In the coming days, the U.S. House of Representatives is voting on several bills that would address this serious issue. Please vote yes on all the bills being considered,” the letter says.

Time to play ball, girls. . . .
They’re not “men” ... they’re prissy little fags, whose skill set is limited to kicking a ball and pretending to be injured.
Soy boys in pretty little shorts.
so a bunch of guys running around in shorts playing kickball now want to dictate national policy. Isn’t this the same bunch of losers who failed to qualify for the 2018 world cup?? They lost to Belize or some third world country like that in 2018?
Gonna hand it to the left they have their propaganda machine Running in full force all the time
Did they say soccer or sucker?
“Given that the U.S. men’s soccer team features players from Europe “
stated this multiple time on various soccer threads. Used to follow the national team, and they recruit heavily from “foreign” players who “accidentally” have US passports (or daddy was a US serviceman overseas) . And the funny part is they recruit players who were CUT from their other national team program and couldnt make the program.
If you were cut from the German national team, then you are obviously not ANY GOOD. So they obviously play for the sake of playing and NOT for love of country. The knee before the anthem is a perfect example and do this sh*t all the time. Whenever they lose, I’m happy.
And who also naively think thst police are all that is needed to protect society. Time and time again we see the cops,showing up,too,late, and then standing around and doing nothing while the gunman has free reign of the gun free schools.
Sadly congress will portray the clueless athletes as indicative of public sentiment. The right really suck at getting the truth out there so people, can wake up from their naivity, and get them some real common sense for a change.
It’s because they are awful when it come to taking a shot on goal!
Since I hate communist kickball anyway.......
Same guys that are letting the women soccer team do better than them?
WGAF...
Papa Joe fan?

…who lives in a state with the most restrictive gun laws yet has the highest number of mass shootings over the last 40 years: https://www.statista.com/statistics/811541/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-state/
Proof that long term “heading” impairs cognitive abilities ..
Dear Men’s US Soccer-how about more suck control. Because you suck excessively and we need to control that.
What a bunch of pussies.
I guess they have their rainbow flag shorts in a bunch.
Men in short pants kicking a ball should just shut up.
