Was there some athlete who refused to meet either President Clinton or President Obama? However, that athlete met only with GOP leaders in House and Senate? Was there anybody who did such a thing?
I would have no problem if President Trump just ignores the team...
The Whitehouse didn’t invite them and he shouldn’t. That’s our flag you represent....either respect it....or go to hell.
Another lesbian vote for AOC.
If not for anger and hate the DNC would have nothing to offer its voters.
Don’t they still have to play Germany ?
AOC thinks she runs Congress ,LOL
Is she speaking for the whole team?
How is that even a question?
She should be removed from the team. She’s supposed to be representing the USA. If she wants to answer political questions apart from soccer and the US team, fine, but an intelligent person would have just said, “No comment.”
But she’s a liberal. They don’t understand such things. She thinks she’s tough and that she’s striking a blow, but she has the mentality of a whiny teenager.
Someone should remind AOC that the HOR has welcomed many members(mostly of the Democrat persuasion) of the KKK. She surely must proud of that legacy.
Sure, they’d accept with no hesitation. Why dine on prime rib when craving tofu? After all, “I’m a STAR!!
Who raised such imbeciles?
There were some individuals from championship teams who declined the White House visit while obozo was president. The Ravens center and one of the Boston Bruins. They did not do alternative House visits....
Further, who elected Rapinoe as spokesperson for the USWNT?!
Why do they allow themselves to be called women?
Take them down to the DC soup kitchen for lunch. That’s all that one deserves anyway.
Bunch of dykes.
I am hoping they lose. I was pulling for France to beat them. Even if it is only one team member, the team should have booted her or silenced her. You don’t bad mouth the country the you play for.
Did Nancy die and make AOL the Speaker of the House?
Go on dissing President Trump and accept socialist Harris’ invitation to visit Congress and by dint alienate half of your public support. Real smart!
I support the women's team, because most of them are representative of all the little girls who play youth soccer and dream of winning a World Cup, scoring the winning goal, hearing the crowd roar. That said, they (the US team members) have a responsibility to those little girls to not taint something pure (athletic competition) with their own personal politics. The reality is that the vast majority of Americans, including President Trump, would have praised Rapinoe very highly for what she's done for the women's team, and not cared at all about her sexual orientation. It would never have come up.
The fact is that she has chosen to make her sex life an issue. What exactly is she up in arms about? America is likely the very best nation to be a citizen of if you happen to be gay.
