US Soccer Captain Protests During Anthem

Put that way, athletes do not owe the President blind allegiance.

However, not standing in support of one’s own country seems logically inconsistent when you are representing your country in a sport. Obviously the ability to publicly make such statements does attest to the greatness of our system, but I, for one, am left with a bad taste in my mouth. I feel this behavior actually cheapens the protester and our country by making the protester looking like a ungrateful and spoiled brat who seems to consider the expression of her political ideals as being more important than the primary reason fans come to watch the game: To have fun and get away from their increasingly over-politicized daily lives.

It is not President Donald Trump they are disrespecting when they refuse to stand for the US flag and anthem but, the US as a country. Other countries citizens (foreigners) are laughing at these same US women's soccer players because never would they do the same to their own country's flag and anthem! Have you seen any other so called athletes disrespect their own flag and anthem? These players only show their utter ignorance and stupidity!
 
I think most Americans would agree that if you are playing on a national team, the least you could do is show proper respect for the flag and anthem of your country. It has nothing to do with protesting Trump or anything else. US Soccer, the coach and the rest of the team failed miserably in not enforcing appropriate behavior from her.
 
Another ignorant statement on soccer just because some women won a title haha.

Don't like soccer? Fine. No one is asking you in this thread to like it or invite the women's team to your home.

Claim soccer has no athletic skill requirements....come off sounding like an ignorant person. Put away those sour grapes because someone did not bow down to Trump.

Its hard to say whether your non-quoted post (which appears right after mine) is to me or someone else.

It was directed to the repeated comment that soccer is not an athletic sport or it is for people who don't know how to play sports. That is simply not true and just sounds like whining. You want a sport with little athletic skill look at golf or cricket.

Might be a clue really why the US has an obesity problem. Not enough kids being funneled into athletic sports like soccer because their parents think it's dumb or it's an excuse not to drive their kids to the games.
 
Soccer has the least amount of skill required of any major team sport. Baseball, Football, Tennis. Basketball, or Hockey
you fucking moron. the fact that you put tennis in a category of team sports just shows how little you know about the sports. stick to drinking your miller lite, burning your Nikes and fucking your sister douchebag.

False on every level. Not that your opinion matters, youth/kids soccer has had huge growth the last 20 years in North America. It's a great sport for kids who want to live long, healthy lives.
 
Youth soccer got a huge boost because soft suburban kids raised on MacDonalds were not tough enough to play real boys football, so they gravitated to soccer. The real athletes played football and basketball, the less talented or smaller play soccer. Everyone knows that's the way it is.
