"This is about the athletes' and our staff's right to peacefully protest racial inequalities and police brutality," she said, according to ESPN. "So I urge our membership to please support our staff and our athletes on this policy."
It is official now...US Soccer Federation has absolutely no problem if some US National Team player refuses to stand during National Anthem...
US Soccer Federation is a non-profit organization claiming to represent United States in international soccer competitions...
US Soccer Federation is not worthy of support from American people if the Federation has no problem with its employees disrespecting America...National team players get paid by US Soccer Federation when they play in international competitions...
I think Federation President Cindy Parlow was a good soccer player when she played for the US Women's National Team...I think she is wrong on this issue...About kneeling during national anthem...Unlike Ms. Parlow, I believe that kneeling players are disrespecting the country...
What should conservative parents do if they have kids who really like US national soccer teams? They should explain to their kids why they will not buy them US national team soccer jerseys...
That does it. I’m never watching soccer ever aga.... Oh. Never mind. 😄🙌
What is how to make Americans care less about soccer?
As if we needed more reasons to not watch succer.
Soccer is from Satan.
1. Tell the kids to like another (better) sport — like hockey.
2. Tell them to follow other national teams. You’ll never see a hockey player from Finland or Slovakia kneeling for THEIR national anthems.
“This is about the athletes’ and our staff’s right to peacefully protest racial inequalities and police brutality,” she said, according to ESPN.
I guess my soccer boycott will continue.
They can learn to code.
That Council is behind the curve. Just last week, I read about a women’s pro-soccer team saying that they are done with the kneeling and are ready to move on from that public expression. Might be too late to influence many American soccer fans.
What sport is this again?
It's about as American as sumo.
How queer that the outrage is ONLY over the US anthem.
No other nation bought or sold slaves?
No other nation has human rights violations?
F*ing Commies.
And I have not watched a USMNT or USWNT game in the past year and will continue not to watch!
Not watching anyway guess I’ll miss the kneegroes.
Keep Our Own Kids Safe
Then why not choose to protest supremacy or inequity or whatever during the 99.9% of the day when the national anthem isn't playing? This is OBVIOUSLY about disrespecting the flag. C'mon, man!
Soccer, is that when you hit a girl or some foreigner’s sport? Sorry. It’s both.
