Trump says US soccer star wrong to protest during anthem

President Donald Trump says he does not think it’s appropriate for a co-captain of the U.S. women’s soccer team to protest during the national anthem.

... Trump told The Hill in an interview Monday that he disagrees with her actions, but loves watching women’s soccer and thinks the players are very talented.

If she really had the strength of her conviction, she wouldn’t play for the USA National team. This is just a stunt

[billyboy15]

I don’t watch soccer, although I would watch women’s soccer if they played naked....

Just sayin...

[odawg]

The idiot wants to exploit the team’s international exposure solely as a stage to preen and strut and draw attention to herself.

The team deserves to lose for allowing her to attempt to diminish the President in front of the world.

Another angry dyke, protesting oppression, and stuff

[Fightin Whitey]

I have a full colon every morning.

[varon]

............since the woman who is protesting is ashamed of the US- she shouldn’t be allowed to represent our nation-

You are right on point. If a player denounces the flag then they shouldn't be allowed to play under it.....

[King Moonracer]

She’ll start bloviating her fishy smelling response soon.

[bert]

her teammates should beat the crap out of her and render her unable to play.

She is Ameritrash, unfit to breathe American air

[Monterrosa-24]

“...teammates should beat the crap out of her...”

That is just what I was thinking. Teams should work as a team and not at cross purposes. She shouldn’t be on the team. Is it a real victory if you win by steroids? Is it a real victory to be proud of if your star athlete is an anti-American zip wad?

I love how the black chick respects the flag (she’s probably straight too), while the Lezbo kneels next to her.

[bramps]

I don’t give a rat’s rear end about soccer. IMO, it’s one of the dumbest sports ever.

********************************************************

I used to feel the same way until I began mentoring a boy who is very gifted in the sport and plays at a very high amateur level. Watching live is miles better than watching soccer on television. If you ever had a chance to see a division 1 college game you would very likely enjoy it. One thing people miss by not seeing it live is how physical it is. There is a lot of body to body contact (maybe why women like it).

And if you ever got to see women play right after men, you would see just how inferior women are. I stayed after a local college men’s game to watch the women. I could take maybe 5 minutes as they are miles behind in every aspect. I was bored silly. Which is why 13 year old boys easily beat the USWNT. I guarantee you the boys weren’t being physical either or the score would have been much higher and the Rapinoe’s and Morgan’s would have really taken a knee just to get out of the game.

And if you look at the story of Jaelen Hinkle, you will see that she is the best outside back in the US who was ultimately cut from the team because she is a true Christian. Cut by Jill Ellis. The ‘married’ lesbian coach who also has an ‘accessory’ daughter. Most certainly cut to maintain peace on a team that is essentially a propaganda arm of the extreme left. Trump may feel his has to be careful with his words for the sake of votes. But why and any decent American would watch this Christian hating, America hating team is beyond me.

She’s an “In Your Face, America” lesbo. She can’t help herself.

[Redwood71]

“....Trump who watches and says the women are very talented.”

As an ex official, I have to say they are very talented. They are just not physically capable of being competitive with males whose bodies are better suited to sports that require speed, strength, and the ability to handle contact. The women are very competitive with each other. Almost everything that is determined shared by the genders has built in safeguards to try to make it competitive. But to my knowledge, there isn’t a physical sport that women can consistently compete on an equal basis with their male counterparts. So his statement is correct.

KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE SPAMMING OR FACE ANOTHER SUSPENSION.

[Rummyfan]

She is a lesbo.

[Rummyfan]

If she is so ashamed of her country maybe she should not play on the national team? She could emigrate and play for a
Country with a better human rights record. Say, Iran or Saudi Arabia ....

[Rummyfan]

For the tournament she has dyed her hair.... magenta? Puce? I’m not sure how to name the color.

[Rummyfan]

The idiot wants to exploit the team’s international exposure solely as a stage to preen and strut and draw attention to herself....

She is a true attention whore.

[Teacher317]

Rapinhoe can share her opinions on the issue at any time, in any venue, during any interview, during any of her own personal time, by writing essays and editorials, by hosting charity events, etc etc etc. She does NONE of those things. She openly chooses to disrespect the entire nation during the 2 minutes that our unifying anthem is sung together... while she adamantly refuses to quit the team representing the nation that she so openly disrespects and works to divide. In short, she is an attention whore, and nothing more. She does not believe in the cause she is pretending to support, because she never supports it outside of those 2 minutes a few times each year.

You can't guarantee anything because you obviously don't have a decent clue of what you are posting about. You are welcome to have your ignorant opinion but I'll point out to you that U15 includes players 15 years old and not just 13. Also that game two years ago was a scrimmage and not even a real game.

FC Dallas under-15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women's National Team in a scrimmage

Of course, this match against the academy team was very informal and should not be a major cause for alarm. The U.S. surely wasn’t going all out, with the main goal being to get some minutes on the pitch, build chemistry when it comes to moving the ball around, improve defensive shape and get ready for Russia.

You see that player towering over the women? I posted this picture before to you and pointed out the height difference. That is no 13 year old. His name is Tanner Tessman and by looking up his birthday on his Team profile page and comparing with the date of the tweet it can be seen he was 15 years, 5 months, 8 days old.

Then you bear false witness against Headcoach Ellis and the whole team with a crazy conspiracy theory. Coach Ellis invited Jaelen Hinkle to join the USA Team which she was happy to do and played an important role in practicing with the Team...

Jaelene Hinkle: Defender recalled to US set-up after refusing to play last year

Defender Jaelene Hinkle has been recalled by the United States for the first time after refusing to play for her country on religious grounds.
... After her recall, she said: "God is good! Honoured. Excited. Ready."

Hinkle has been named in head coach Jill Ellis' 23-player training squad for the 2018 Tournament of Nations.

When you become USWNT Headcoach then you can field women because they are Christian.

It beggars belief how you think anyone can take a "guarantee" from a clueless person like you who doesn't even know 15 year olds were playing on the U15 scrimmage with the USWNT and bears false witness about the US coach and the whole Team.

I mean, how is it that on the one hand you post: "I stayed after a local college men’s game to watch the women. I could take maybe 5 minutes as they are miles behind in every aspect. I was bored silly."

While on the other hand you care enough to ell us: "Jaelen Hinkle, you will see that she is the best outside back in the US"

Which is it? Either you are bored silly or you are so interested as to opine that Hinkle is the best. I see, Hinkle is the best of what bores you silly - LoL!

President Trump says he loves watching women's soccer and they are very talented. I agree with the President rather than a demonstrably nonsensical person bent with hate. You are certainly not the one to question how decent Americans spend their time because you spend your time repeatedly posting the same garbage.

Btw President Trump also said he has no problem with a married homosexual running for President. Stew on that too.
