“You’re just as big a loser as rapino.”

Calling Rapinoe a loser is no different than what lesko did. If what Rapinoe did is so wrong, then why didn’t her fellow team members voice that opinion or even say they would not support her for this action as they didn’t want to insult the many that Rapinoe insulted. They didn’t. So they supported her anti American actions with silence except one member that came out and openly supported her because she was a team mate thus saying the same thing Rapinoe did.

They let Rapinoe talk for them and embarrassed the United States in front of the world. I hope you don’t call that honorable, it isn’t. They’re a disgrace and I’m sad I was represented by a group of money hungry, infantile “political prostitutes” that used their spotlight to downgrade the country that made them their millions and gave them notoriety when all we asked of them was to give their best effort and represent us in the games in return . They are a disgrace for what they said and what they should have said.

I agree with what you’re saying but Rapinoe is also a captain that is much older than many of the other players. I’d be surprised if anyone else spoke out against her, even if they did it would only hurt team cohesion. Maybe the right thing to do was to not make it worse and let Rapinoe be judged by her own words.

Oh BS. Rapino speaks for herself as everyone does. The others are smart enough to realize their goal is to win the world cup for the US so they keep their mouth shut so as not to tear the team apart. Obviosly you’ve never been on a serious tournament team before. I will not lay the sins of rapino on others, if they come out and say stupid things like rapino does then they can answer for it. Guilt by association, some of you on this board are barely passed Hammurabi’s Law. I saw pretty much all of them parading around our Flag as was damn happy to see it, knowing Team USA is #1 in the world, as it should be. I think a lot of folks on this board are snowflakes just like millenials, a bunch of panzies to be honest.
