They don't represent USA. Even if Joe Biden said they do.
In the meantime, I'm still supporting the men's national team.

Do we still have yardarms?

So Sunday morning they play one the best teams in the WC, Sweden. If the US wins then they go on play the best team, Japan. Good luck to those teams playing our supposed one so the US women won’t be upset by hearing our anthem anymore in this contest.

"She's (Rapinoe) poisoned the entire team against the country for which they play.
A lot of weak-minded individuals, if one purple-haired, hatched-faced backup women's soccer player can make them turn against their own country. I doubt Rapinoe is really the cause, though - most left-wingers are simply unpatriotic and have no love for the US.

I have never been a soccer fan. Never will be. It bores me to tears.

As the late, great Jesse Helms once said when asked why he opposed one of Bill Clinton’s appointees... “Because she’s a damn lesbian.”
Ditto Rapinoe.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
I doubt Rapinoe is really the cause.Women. It's easy to manipulate them. Rapinoe probably told them straight up so they're probably afraid of her.
To: MinorityRepublican
It’s not just her. Somebody in team management kept her there instead of booting her poisonous tail years ago.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Biden Administration told the team to keep Rapinoe because they get to score some political points with the LGBTQ base.

Good point. If you watch the video, when they get to the end of the line I know there is at least one player that is singing along.
On that note, as much as I despise Rapinoe, I’m not really seeing the issue here. The Anthem is played every time there’s a sporting event I don’t see many folks singing it. And when I do, the very large majority of the time, it’s a white athlete.

Does Kelly actually have a source, or is it speculation?

Why isn’t the team’s roster filled with the trans-women?

Can someone explain to me why, if she hates this country, she would except it’s Medal of Freedom?
To: irishjuggler
So, you don’t disagree with her philosophy, or stance on this country?

That's our national anthem that no one sings along to. When the Mexican national team is in the US and the Mexican national anthem is played? Mexican-Americans and illegals are in the stands, standing at attention, waving the Mexican flag and belting out the words to the song. The Vietnamese national team is singing their national anthem. The people of most of the nations of the world take pride in their countries. Not ours. That's what decades of left-wing influence in our schools, media, every public institution gets us - self-loathing and gross ingratitude.
