I think the money-making opportunities from these sports is the culprit.

And team representing the United States should be amateur athletes. Go back to the pure athletes who compete for the love of the sport and the chance to represent their country.

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

Kudos to her. Who was that? She at least has my respect.

Well, of course you are right—it reflects on the team. And, yes, she is a numbskull bc it is not the Trump anthem but the National Anthem she’s protesting (i.e., the anthem of the National Team) AND of all things, PDJT is supportive of the alphabet genders and sex habits. BUT I would never root against the national team bc, almost to a certainty, not all of those women have or will behave as MR did.

As I say, she is being promoted by anti-trumpets who have succeeded in triggering some pro-Trumpers to trash the whole team. Sorry, that’s not a winning position for supporters of PDJT. I have confidence hers is a minority opinion of the team. We shall see, eh?

We’re close to losing our nation! Activists on this team are helping to hasten this by their attacks on Trump while wearing “USA” on their uniform! Get it?

Teams like this don’t do sh*t for our nation! They kick a stupid ball around, and use this platform to dis our president!

They are doing more harm than good idiot!

>> you can tell from that Allie Long was not meaning to be disrespectful she was just getting into the dance.

Nonsense. And she behaved like white trash.

I agree with you.

I didn’t see any ill-intent, just carelessness in dealing with the flag.

Not that I’ve heard, which probably means that they just wanted to play soccer, avoid politics and win games - as Julie Ertz’s husband did a few years back when he kept his head down, his mouth shut, played football and kept setting team records while the Eagles were being roiled by the anthem-kneeling and pseudo-reparations demands of Malcolm Jenkins and a couple of other malcontents on the team - her husband set a good example......

Yes, but the lesbian player appeared to shove the flag aside, as if to say, get that out of the way, they’re going to take our photo.

...as if to say...

Well, that's one way to keep your argument going.

I did. All I see is a player freeing up her hands in order to partake in some sort of tribal ritual.

Flakes is one. The other would be a draw on a cigarette. You get partial credit for foreigners.
