Did they proclaim there was “no god but Allah” as well?

Remember we’re it not for title nine they would be waiting tables. Never watched soccer albeit I did play in high school. Know rules and how to play but never really enjoyed it except for the exercise. So to say I won’t watch it is meaningless. What disturbs me is these babes are so brain washed. As a cure the should be dropped off alone in some inner city at night and see how they feel in the morning about BLM. In fact they could even be accompanied by the feminist and revisionist college professors.

In the second game (Washington vs. Chicago), a number of the players stood for the national anthem, though the majority took a knee. Groupthink and peer pressure. As far as I could tell, all of them did come out wearing black lives matter tee shirts. That must have involved some interesting conversations in the locker room: "Ok, I'll walk onto the field with the shirt, but I won't kneel for the anthem." The PA announcer did ask people to stand for the national anthem. (Fans are not yet allowed, so the stands were almost empty; there was a scattering of friends, family, and others with some insider angle for being there, but not many.) It will be interesting to see how that develops over time. It will also be interesting to see what MLB and NFL players do when they return to the field.

The men have been donning pink tokens for years when their leagues have wanted to virtue signal on feminist issues.

It is past time for athletes, entertainers and others in the public eye to stand up and say that they will not be conscripted as props for other people's political statements. It is totalitarian to insist that everything be politicized. Keep the politics off the playing field. Whoever takes the leadership on this needs to stay calm, collected and on message. There will be heavy pressure to conform. Let's see who has the courage to stand firm.

Could it be any more obvious that blacks are racist?

Who watches or cares about women playing kickball? Very, very few, and those who do are the types who would entirely approve of this behavior.

That’s the thing to take away from this article - that there ARE very, very few who care.

Socialist football.
NFL,NBA,NHL want to mirror this.
Plus this sport is a 10 on the boring scale. Curling is much more exciting.

this was on the top of the 10AM ESPN Sportscenter. They were gushing about the players - and also had a quote from Raiople (US Soccer captain).

What is it about liberal women that just want to show through gestures how woke they are?

Nixon should have been impeached for Title IX alone.

I notice some still had a hand on their heart.
I think they were told to kneel and the ones who had hand over heart would be standing otherwise.

I tried to find out names of players who did not kneel...But, I could not find that information...

I am glad that a few players refused to kneel...

“Interesting that young females seem to make up the majority of present-day useful idiots. Genetic predisposition, ill-educated, something else?”

Genetically they’re predisposed to rely on emotions more than rational analysis.

The 19th amendment wasn’t such a great idea.

Up to recently I would have strongly disagreed. Now......

Do they play some sport or was it a hate America rally? It is hard to decide and when you confuse fans they stay away and soon only the wives and girlfriends of the players will be in the stands.

If you think patriarchal societies are bad wait till you try matriarchal ones.

Also if one were to ever arise and there was a conflict between it and a patriarchal one, which one would win?

Good for them. With any luck the NFL,NASCAR, Major League Baseball,and the NBA will follow suit. And in its turn College football. Not one fan will be lost.

It’s not powerful or courageous to bend to the mob.
