    Rapinoe not getting the start today..........I wonder if she kneeled during the Chilean national anthem since they don’t allow same sex marriage in that country???........but that wouldn’t be about Trump so probably not........

    So now you get to decide what is and isn't free speech??? Use the N word at work and see where your free speech gets you.

    There's free speech and stupid speech... that would be the latter... It's technically free, but it will cost you and I won't defend it...

    The national anthem is about what unites us as :flagus:


    What divides us has lots of alternative platforms.
    No athlete is drafted to represent :flagus:
    If an individual can't do it respectfully, cut them from the team!

    It is such selfishness of "MY opinion" that is destructive.

    Repeat: The anthem is about what unites us.
    There are lots of other platforms to discuss politics. Keep the anthem out of it.

    Take the last word.

    I disagree about keeping "the anthem out of it".

    Sadly, as long as Trump is the President, the flag and anthem are completely unworthy of respect.

    More athletes should follow Megan's lead.

    Hopefully, on the big stage of the 2020 Olympics.:salute:

    It's the same flag and anthem regardless of who is President. Athletes who disrespect both on an international stage don't deserve the opportunity to play for this country. they don't deserve to live here either but they do have the right to.

    And the left calls themselves patriots.

    Have wished Bruce Jenner a happy Father’s Day?

    I wouldn't know why you would demand that. It contradicts the entire principle of being the country for the free and the home of the brave.

    Pff. You're singing "the land of the free", while you can express something like gay rights. Really? lol

    Yeah, we all know the GOP wants to make death threats all over the place and are kewl with that.

    The largest group of people in this country who are making death threats are liberals who want to kill the unborn, they even cheer when laws are passed allowing them to do so.

    She contradicts playing on our National Team, has nothing to do with "free speech", as I said she can do what she wants as an individual on her own time and her own dime.

    It's the NATIONAL ANTHEM and the team salute to OUR COUNTRY. She is quite clear in her disdain.

    Nah.

    I will leave that to Kylie and Kendall.

    As long as Trump is President, we can never return to the glory days of Athletic Patriotism.

    Has nothing to do with this. How about you go think about that when you sing "the land of the free" part,.. that YOU don't want people to express their right to be openly gay.

    You’re the one who brought up death and people being kewl with it.

    Regarding expression, how many riots would a straight pride parade cause?

    No self-respecting patriot would do honor to this thug and king.

    He's the President and the national anthem and no one cares what she thinks of Trump, she's supposed to be part of the national team, show some respect for the nation and the honor to be there that was given to you.

    Yeah, and liberals will work to make sure they continue to have that right, even though Trump won’t.

    IF no one cares what she thinks of Trump, why does this thread even exist?

    Here's the thing, her hatred of one person is embarrassing and disrespecting the entire country and the left is defending it.

    Here's the upside. If I get pissed off at one person, let's say it's a Mexican, a Muslim or a gay person, I can now openly disrespect all of them and the left will defend me instead of calling me all sorts of names. Thanks
