Ali vs. Rapinoe
American Thinker ^ | July 17, 2019 | Dennis Lund

Posted on 07/17/2019 7:38:39 AM PDT by Michael.SF.

Muhammed Ali was many things, but he was a man who many Americans learned to respect because he stood for ideals, backing them with actions that cost him dearly.

Until such time that Rapinoe can achieve such a distinction, she will remain simply a flash in the pan, capitalizing on her temporary fame and the popular ‘hate-Trump-theme’ which is tearing this nation apart.

She sets the standard for respect and dialogue. If you do not like someone’s policies you do not respect them and you do not talk with them to see if there is any common ground. She wants to resolve things only her way.

One Muhammad Ali phrase that Rapinoe will never be able to utter: “I’m so pretty!”

Hey remember when Ali refused to be drafted because his religion was a peaceful one? Refused to serve the USA that made him rich and famous.

We all know now that it was and is a scam. Islam hates everyone but Muslim and kills because of it.

The ROP tricks another generation and Ali knew it was BS.

Rapinoe is a repulsive creature.

I hope I don’t have to stare at her on a box of Cheerios. At least before my coffee.

Providing her more “screen time” is mistake. How can I miss her, if she doesn’t go away?

Al objected conscientiously, not the way they do it these days.

"she will remain simply a flash in the pan"

No, she is a flush in the pot.

I'd LOVE to get on a soccer field against her.

I'd let her dance around me till she wasn't looking, then take her head off at the shoulders.

She wouldn't get up for a week.
