Yup. Sometimes things suck. Other times, not so much. They should stick to water polo. A word of “wisdom”. Nobody promised you a rose garden.

Cool. So you are going to let play non swimmers, short people and fat people on your team?

“For those of us in the water polo community, recent events should further strengthen our dedication to diversity and inclusion.”

I’m going to withhold my opinion until I hear what the US Curling Team and National Speleological Society have spoken.

I get Facebook updates from USA Handball (a cool sport by the way) and they did the same virtue signaling too.

>>>We live in an unjust world<<<

I wonder what they would suggest to make this a just world?

I assume it would involve Concentration Camps and midnight raids on people’s homes by Armed Government Agents.

Hey Chris, Who the F do you think you are that ANYONE cares what US Water Polo thinks? Get over yourself and get a life!

More corporate cowardice: If any organization doesn’t post a statement like this then they will be labeled racist and insensitive. Silence = Bigotry.

“...We live in an unjust world...”

I found that out the moment Hillary Clinton was not thrown in jail for Benghazi, illegal email server, 900 missing raw FBI files, Vince Foster murder etc.

There is a law for us peasants and another one for democrats.

“We must reach across the time and space of social distancing and find in one another what President Lincoln, in his first inaugural address, called “the better angels of our nature.”

Lincoln’s first inaugural address, in which he defended slavery where it existed, would not have been my first choice for a social reference on this water polo issue.

Hmmmm.... a sport that teaches and encourages illegal moves below the surface. Just like the Democrats. I guess I'm not surprised.

Oh, both my kids were swimmer/water polo players.

Finally! I’ve been on pins and needles awaiting a statement on social justice from US Water Polo. I can breathe easy now.

I have been waiting anxiously for this important statement. I feel so much better now. We need so many more groups to virtue signal.

In other news, the USA Water Polo Team drowned four horses while testing their new horse scuba gear.

I have a polo player too - I was disgusted by that email and I replied back telling him what I thought.

“... all communities of color continue to face obstacles steeped in centuries of racism ...”

Puhleeze FOAD with our tired trope.

You could fill a school bus with all the actual racists in this country.

A short school bus...
