No better way to kill off viewer support for USWNT than to insert politics.
LEH ZEE BITCH ... LEH ZEE BITCH ... LEH ZEE BITCH ... LEH ZEE BITCH ...
Kick the Butch off the team.
This is the U.S. National Team.
Wow, isn’t she something?

That poor boy.
He can’t even stand up.
What does it say to my grandfather’s grandfather who at a very young age decided it was worth his life to end slavery? He volunteered for the Union army when it was not particularly popular in his home area, and opposed by his family.
How about a blue lives matter protest during an event at the White House? Same folks cheering this player would be apoplectic in rage at that.
Unjustified feel-good dissent by another shallow, America-hating SJW. Shove it, Rapinoe. Kneel in shame.
A professional athlete gets paid to represent the US on its “national” team, but refuses to stand for the US “national” anthem?
Reminds me of the white gals I used to take to the projects in my cab so they could score drugs. (it was obvious).
Went in once to find a gal who hadn’t come out in a while after going in.
Can’t say what was happening to her on this board.
Maybe this player should go hang in the projects for a few months if she cares so much.
Sad.
So, they have spun that bit of history to say, "See, we had slaves fighting for freedom, but the U.S. was fighting to suppress them!"
I say "spin" because you could actually argue it was the Colonial Militia supporting slavery, as the Brits had WORLDWIDE slavery institutionalized through it's colonies.
More here if you want to counter their absurd argument for insulting the Anthem:
Oppression? She should try being a Christian or Yazidi in ISIS territory, or a woman in ANY Islamic country!
Never heard of her and after reading the article I’m not sure what sport this is. Thankfully, there’s a picture which shows a bit of what might possibly be a soccer field but who knows. Whatever, not wasting anymore time with her kind of scum. She can stay in Thailand. I’m sure they treat their citizens better than the US does despite what the Human Rights Report says.
When they showed her kneeling, I switched to another program . Learned later that she was actually put into the game by the coach. Anyway, will not watch the US women’s team again until she is gone
