    You were quiet when the Woman's National soccer team came out against Trump.

    Didn't remotely happen... a few individuals (mostly one individual) said they wouldn't accept an invitation to the WH..... yes, because of him...

    Nothing was done at the TEAM level...

    I certainly am in agreement with your position, but this is a non issue and has little bearing on anything.

    Not saying it's 9/11 here, but it's generally disrespectful to half the country and very disappointing to me personally, for reasons outlined in other posts...

    I don't think I've ever had a problem with any individuals showing up to stump for Trump, but this was a mistake to do at the TEAM level...

    Sorry it’s disappointing to you that a few individuals expressed themselves.

    Oh no it was a bunch and they protested at events and in their uniforms and got press out the ying-yang so complaints about this ring mighty hollow.

    So former sports starts can't campaign for anyone anymore of just not for Republicans? These guys weren't even in uniform. Like I said you had no problem with women at the Olympics, your hypocracy is blaring.

    Are you people (anti Trump lunatics) trying to make yourselves look like intolerable little brats in the middle of throwing a tantrum that’s lasted 3.5 years and still going strong?

    If that’s your goal, you’re achieving it in spades. And the normal people in this country are laughing at you.

    It's rather amazing isn't it? I have to give Ego some credit, many in his camp are resorting to assaulting people with different views, and in some cases shooting up baseball fields....so when he simply wants to take away their 1st Amendment rights, and not kill them or assault them that is a step in the right direction

    WTF? No one has to justify anything to appear at any rally. What kind of Orwellian Leftist bullshit is this anymore? We are Americans with Free Speech and Assembly as a born right.

    If someone wants to go to an ANTIFA, KKK, or Bernie rally I am not going to bitch, but I will point my finger and laugh at the dumbasses.

    You of pro-Soviet sanders leading the nomination. Planning to get out of NATO and join an alliance with Putin.

    now you have dems calling on the 1980 USA team that shamed the Soviets, not heroes.

    are we seeing a clear pattern here? I think we are. The putin puppets are hard at work. The more flexible policies of the obama admin are on steroids
