Geez, if woman’s soccer wasn’t so damn exciting and entertaining, I’d choose not to watch. Oh wait....

This is not just about US women's national soccer team...This also applies to US men's national soccer team...

Now Federation has no problem with a male or a female player kneeling during National Anthem...

There are some US men's national team members who have no problem with kneeling...

Landon Donovan...He was a great player who was in the US Men's national soccer team for many years...Many months ago, he was happy that Federation stopped requiring players to stand during national anthem...

“I think any human being should have the right to express themselves in any way they want,” he said. “There is power in U.S. Soccer making a statement like that and I was for it."

OK- I think you sir, are scum, and a disgrace to our nation, if you kneel on the national stage and disrespect this nation in front of the world—

Well, imo men’s isn’t any more exciting or entertaining than weomen’s.

I don’t want to offend you, as you seem to be a soccer fan, but growing up in my town - a huge baseball town - soccer was known as the sport for kids who couldn’t hit curve balls.
