    Like Joe Frazier, Foreman was demonized unfairly as an Uncle Tom for not being a political activist who protested openly against the Vietnam war. I thought it was unfair then and I still do. They were different types of guys but also great fighters and courageous guys. I loved Archie Moore too and also Sandy Saddler. I was also very happy when Ali beat Foreman in “The Rumble In The Jungle” and Joe in “The Thrilla In Manila”. I loved and respected what Smith and Carlos did and always thought Avery Brundige was an a$$ hole.

    Thursday, August 8th, the year of the lord 2019 and Rapinoe is still more loved and adored than our POTUS.

    Can't wait for the 2020 Olympics.

    Even more athletes will join Rapinoe in distancing themselves from Trump (That ORANGE RACIST IMBECILE).

    I am not sure about that....

    Imagine being a girl who has trained your entire life for an Olympic event & you know that all the Democrats running for office support you competing against a boy who decided to become a girl in 2016 & he still has a penis.

    I don’t see Trump supporting Trans-athletes over real women athletes like the Democrats.

    Nobody knows how that is going to work out (yet) with "Trans-Athletes".

    And, you are Dead WRONG if you think that "ALL of the Democrats" have a shared position.

    Thanks for playing, though.:salute:

    Oh .. so you require your children to be identical to you in their thoughts and preferences, else you'll 'fix' them?

    Exactly the same as sending gay kids to psychiatrists in the 1950s. Well done.

    Those who take their political cues from celebrity and media will no doubt have leg tingles for the duration. Since those who do take such important advice from people who have nothing to do with the subject matter, are clearly at an intellectual disadvantage - we should allow them this small pleasure.

    Wrong

    I was referring to all the clowns running for the democratic nomination.

    Beto, Pocohantas & the other 20 bozos would never ever support a young girl over a trans athlete. It doesn’t fit the progressive agenda.

    But thanks for playing....

    Lol, massive reading comprehension fail. Try actually reading the post. I would never require my children to be identical to me in their thoughts and preferences; the fact that your mind went there first when the post said nothing of the sort is on you, not me. I would, however, expect them to treat women with respect, come by their business honestly, etc. I know, I know, really controversial stuff in the age of Trump. I would be concerned about the mental health of any family member who showed Trump's lack of basic human empathy, lack of basic scruples, and constant need to lie. That's what my post was about. Not about imaginary identical thoughts and preferences. Unless you think lying and stealing is just another lifestyle. I don't.

    How can that be? I mean, you guys knew what you were getting into when you kicked that stuff off.

    Only an utterly imbecilic dimwit would have set that ball in motion without considering ANY of the implications :)

    (please note and appreciate my soccer puns)

    Then you'd be able to quote me saying that. Your reading comprehension is not my responsibility. But one thing we can both agree on: you're "seeing things" all right. Try telling the truth about my posts instead of trolling.

    It doesn't matter whether you're demanding identical thought or not! If you disapprove of your child's preferences to the point of forcing them into psychiatric evaluation, you are no different to those who did it to their gay children last century.

    Lol, now that's an epic backpeddle.

    Preferences? Why are you changing the subject to preferences? Severe lack of empathy and compulsive lying aren't just "preferences." They are signs of behavioral issues. This isn't like sending someone to the psychiatrist for being gay. This is like sending someone to a psychiatrist because they started hearing voices.

    Are you embarrassed?

    And then immediately after you confirm my point .. see my bold. YOU think supporting Trump are those things. That is your truth and yours alone .. why do you require it of your child? They are not committing a crime or torturing kittens, so why does it matter to you? It can only matter for reasons of ego - let's be honest.

    Personally, I think being a Progressive indicates moral deficiency, but if any of my kids go down that road I'll survive. It's not my journey, it's theirs. As long as they're good and kind and don't go around whacking people with bike chains, I've done my job.

    For you? A little.

    Are you seriously telling me you can't even comprehend that one sentence? Really.

    And another reading comprehension fail/desperate scramble to change the subject. No, supporting Trump isn't those things. Trump is those things.

    I would care about the mental health of my child. You don't have to.

    And I feel the same way about theft that you do about physical violence. If my child were lying to people to get them to part with their money and cheating them, I'd be concerned. You don't have to be. This is about behavior, not political beliefs. Trump's compulsive lying and lack of empathy were with him back when he was a Democrat too. They aren't part of his political preferences. They are personal deficiencies. You apparently only care if your child becomes a thug and don't care if they become a conman. I would care about both.

    Exactly. So why would you pathologise your own child over it? Because YOU don't like Trump?

    One idiot running as a Dem wanted to make her Secretary of State.

    If you ever listened to this women speak, you would know what a pathetic choice that would be.
