WATCH: US Soccer Player Tosses American Flag on Ground After Victory
Todd Starnes ^ | July 7,2019 | Todd Starnes

As patriots, we must root for anyone who is wearing the American flag on their jersey. But I’ve gotta confess – some of the women on the U.S. Soccer team have made that very hard to do.

It’s bad enough that some of them have disrespected the national anthem and others have cursed the president. It’s bad enough that many of them plan to boycott the White House visit.

But when Allie Long threw the American flag on the ground on national television — that is beyond disrespect.

“She knew exactly what she was doing, but just didn’t give a damn,” one sports fan noted on Instagram. “Damn amazing disrespect for a photo op.”

“Absolutely disgraceful,” wrote another. “Playing sports, you are taught at a young age to be respectful to the flag and our country.”

Thank goodness for the teammate who rushed over to retrieve the desecrated flag.

And perhaps the next time U.S. Soccer decides to field a team – maybe – just maybe – they could select soccer players who actually love the nation they will be representing.

I've never heard of her and don't know what her political views are, but I don't think what she did was with the intent of her anti-American lesbian teammate or, even worse, commie Kaepernick.

Did a quick search of her and found these images...

Terrible. But think of the enormous Nike contracts these horrible ladies will receive.

Good grief, flexing and posing like a bunch of zoo animals.
Yeah, get that toxic flag outta the shot.
Nasty “women.”

Well. I will say in her “defense” it looks as though she picked it back up. Maybe she realized what she had done after the fact.

They act like a bunch of rude, spoiled, catty girls. Their rude and unsportsmanlike conduct is embarrassing and disgusting. They taunted Thailand and England, who both reacted with class. They don’t deserve to be invited to the White House.

It’s so obvious we have a lot of women in this country that have lost their minds. These are crazy people. The women in Congress and the women on the soccer field crazy people. Turn your back on them they don’t exist. Pond scum looks better!

I couldn’t disagree more. We do not have to root for them, I was rooting against them and I am very disappointed that these unpatriotic losers won.

Me as well.

Compare these losers (yes, I know they won, but there's more to winning that points) to the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team.

That’s what it appeared to me, not intentionally but stupidly during grandstanding. I’m tired of bashing America, but this just appeared to be sheer stupidity.

What good could possibly come from inviting those ill mannered brats to the White House? I don’t think Trump will take the bait, but if he does he will lose respect from people like me.

I'd bet there are many on that team who disapprove of these un-American idiots. I hope the invitation stands and the good ones get to meet POTUS.

How in the world can we be witnessing all this nonsense, anti-Americanism in a few decades since the greatest generation of WWII? Unbelievable.

That’s strike 3.

Strike 1: It’s soccer.

Strike 2.: it’s women’s soccer.

Even the Dixie Chicks limited their criticism to the President. Disrespect for the flag on foreign soil? I don’t think this is over.

No way. Not if they don’t speak up. Omission is compliant
