US soccer star Alex Morgan plans to decline any White House invite after World Cup

U.S. soccer star Alex Morgan is getting ready to help defend her team’s World Cup title in France next month and if the Americans should win again, she said she’s prepared to decline a possible invitation to visit President Trump at the White House.

Morgan, who has previously been outspoken about Trump and his administration’s policies, told Time Magazine in a lengthy profile published Thursday she doesn’t stand for what the current president stands for.

“I don’t stand for a lot of things the current office stands for,” she said, adding that she doesn’t care for the administration’s policies about separating migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

She said she would not go to the White House if the president invites the team. It was unclear if Trump had any plans to invite the team, if they win.

“We don’t have to be put in this little box,” Morgan said. “There’s the narrative that’s been said hundreds of times about any sort of athlete who’s spoken out politically. ‘Stick to sports.’ We’re much more than that, OK?”

Another Fake News catfish.

Just lie at the bottom of the stream and gobble up all the liberal fake news media bullshit that comes floating by.

Had a liberal acquaintance once who asked why I called him Catfish. No longer see each other.

No loss here.

DirecTV has a screen-saver for when you pause a program. It features images from things on offer from them. Anyway the one for the women’s world cup features 3 women from the team—I have no idea who they are since I don’t follow the sport. The lady in the middle is making a face that would cuddle milk—I suppose it is supposed to show how tough and determined she is, but I can’t fathom why she’d let them use it. Unflattering doesn’t come close to describing it.

The loser nitwit shouldn’t be invited anywhere by anyone. And to top it off, woman’s soccer sucks. Wait a minute...ALL soccer sucks. Curling in comparison is exciting.

And this is why no one is interested in the US Women’s World Cup any longer. After they one the World Cup this whole team disintegrated into bitter lesbian politics and anti-Americanism. And then they had the audacity to demand more pay! From whom, now that you have alienated 60% of the country?

I just wanted Alex Whatshername to know that when Obama was in the White House, I decided to decline an invitation after I won the neighborhood horseshoe contest for over 70 men. There....take that, Alex!

Like many who don’t keep up with soccer, I’ve never heard of her before. But after hearing her smart mouth, I hope she fails!

Didn’t we just go through this with that female Olympic skier? The blond girl who used to date Tiger Woods.

U.S. women’s soccer is largely a negative force.

Yeah, for me soccer is a giant WGAS anyway. It is another "everyone else in the world does it" turnoff.

If I cared about the World Cup (and soccer in general), which I don’t, I would watch just to cheer on the other countries who are playing against this “USA” team.

She is the Ungrateful, Impious face of Privelige and Ignorance. She is a Disgrace to the Flag, to the Military, and a Disgrace to the game of soccer.
