I’ve always stood near attention with hand on heart. I don’t sing.
What motivates them to play for a Nation they hold in such contempt, while others from around the world, all the places people want to escape, are so proud?
Maybe they were staring “stoically ahead” is because they are still butthurt to losing to teenage boys.
Rapinoe: Can’t Understand Normal Thinking
This is the crowd that got a huge salary raise because they whined about it, not because they deserved it.
Megan Rapinoe is part of this bunch and we know she hates the USA.
So do you think I’m going to have the slightest interest in how this team plays?
I think we should send a few men to try out for the club. Maybe people would watch?
Why then does she play for a team that represents the USA? Could it be it offers better rewards she would get than from playing for some other nation's team, or not playing at all?
Go Vietnam!
Their behavior is 100% in line with current ruling class thinking.
The designation of US should be pulled from the team.
Well I ‘spect their bass and tenor voices wouldn’t sound that good anyway.
I hold utter contempt for these overly privileged crybabies. I can only hope they are beaten by a team that actually is happy to represent their country.
Further destroying and tainting their brand. They will never be popular in this country and will continue to rely on the men’s teams to carry them financially. Some people would call this fraud.
I see Zach Ertz’ wife and two other players sang with hand over heart. They’re the courageous ones.
It’s a leadership problem: “If you don’t stand respectfully with your right hand over your heart during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, you’re gone immediately, no discussion, no debate. Singing along is optional. If you disagree, see me now, and I’ll give you your walking papers.”
I hope they lose up front. Get rid of the anti American lesbians and I’ll root for them.
If you ever get a chance to watch 6 Nations Rugby games, notice how the players bellow out their national anthems. (Except maybe for Ireland which plays three anthems because NI is included on the team).
99% of all athletes in America keep their mouth shut during the anthem. This is just looking for a reason to get upset.
They’d prefer saluting the rainbow flag and singing something by k.d. lang.
Disappointed.
I never root against the USA, even if the athletes feel entitled, privileged, and feel no visible sense of gratitude.
That said, have any of the team members or coaches or sponsors quibbled with Miss Rapinoe's hatred of America or Miss Rapinoe's statement endorsing men competing in womens' sports?
hope they all break a leg........
