    Wrong. She could easily have sex with a man and raise it with a gay partner. Gay doesn't mean incapable of reproduction.

    Why is it an "unnatural" number? Women aren't gay because they play soccer. You can't honestly believe that to be the case. I can't speak to why there are lesbians who play soccer anymore than I can speak to lesbians who play softball or basketball.

    Is what it is. There have been a number of world class athletes who were gay. Why does this worry you when it has absolutely ZERO impact on your life?

    He’s probably worried some niece or granddaughter of his is going to catch the gay if they play soccer.

    My issue with Rapinoe is that she is a self absorbed America hater, or defined as one on the far left. Her comment, "I deserve this!", is crass and her statement that what people need to do is come to the games and they would get paid more then goes on to trash America.

    What did she say to "trash" America? Does it really look like she "hates" America? She trashed Trump, but sorry to break this to you, trashing a President is as American as Apple Pie - you've done it many times on this board.

    And by the way - it's absolutely hilarious (and sad) to hear a *****-grabber in Chief supporter belittle someone for being "crass".

    You don’t understand...it’s ok when THEY trash a president. But when someone trashes a president they like...well then...that just means you must hate America. This of course is known as hypocrisy.

    If they are recruited into the gay lifestyle at a young age through older role models in sports that would explain the unnatural 20% number of lesbians in soccer

    Because there are not that many lesbians in the general population

    Since world class players start at a young and vulnerable age I think soccer and gay perversion are related

    Could also just be that that lesbians are less distracted by boys in High School and put more effort into sports. There are many world class gay athletes in many different sports. Men and women. A great number of America's gold medal winning athletes have been gay - Olympic diving, skating, tennis, gymnastics ...

    Why does this bother you? It is what it is.

    Gay students are often less socially active because they are made fun of at an early age and they tend to become very focused on their sport. If you read biographies about world class gay athletes, you find this to be a very familiar theme.

    I suspect that there are many Trump fans that you have not met, but you are surely aware of his neo-nazi supporters hailing him as their "God Emperor!"

    I abhor and denounce violence without regard to ideology.

    You think Trump sucks along with most Democrats. Most Republicans thought Obama sucked. Most Democrats say Trump was the worst president ever, most Republicans say Obama was the worst ever. All the polls back that up.

    If you don't believe that. Look at the following best and worst president since WWII. 2014 Obama the worst and yet fourth best president. 2017 Quinnipiac poll, Obama the second best and second worst at the same time. Pure partisanship. These two didn't include Trump. But the 2017 Morning Consult did. Trump was the fifth best and the worst, Obama the second best and the second worst. All at the same time. 2018 Quinnipiac had Trump still the fifth best and the worst, Obama the second best and second worst. These polls back up the fact that if one is a Republican, Trump goes to being one of the best, Obama the worst. If one is a Democrats, Trump is the worst, Obama the best.

    2014 Quinnipiac poll

    A Quinnipiac University poll taken June 24–30, 2014, asked 1,446 registered voters in the United States who they thought were the best and worst Presidents since World War II.[37]


    Best President since World War II:


    1 Ronald Reagan (35%)

    2 Bill Clinton (18%)

    3 John F. Kennedy (15%)

    4 Barack Obama (8%)


    Worst President since World War II:


    1 Barack Obama (33%)

    2 George W. Bush (28%)

    3 Richard Nixon (13%)

    4 Jimmy Carter (8%)


    2017 Quinnipiac poll

    Four years later, a Quinnipiac University poll taken January 20–25, 2017, asked 1,190 voters in the United States who they thought were the best and worst Presidents since World War II.[38]


    Best President since World War II:


    1 Ronald Reagan (30%)

    2 Barack Obama (29%)

    3 John F. Kennedy (12%)

    4 Bill Clinton (9%)


    Worst President since World War II:


    1 Richard Nixon (24%)

    2 Barack Obama (23%)

    3 George W. Bush (22%)

    4 Jimmy Carter (10%)


    2017 Morning Consult poll

    Including for the first time President Donald Trump, a Morning Consult poll taken February 9–10, 2017, asked 1,791 registered voters in the United States, who they thought were the best and worst Presidents since World War II.[39][40]


    Best President since World War II:


    1 Ronald Reagan (26%)

    2 Barack Obama (20%)

    3 John F. Kennedy (17%)

    4 Bill Clinton (9%)

    5 Donald Trump (6%)


    Worst President since World War II:


    1 Donald Trump (26%)

    2 Barack Obama (25%)

    3 Richard Nixon (13%)

    4 George W. Bush (7%)

    5 Bill Clinton (6%)


    2018 Quinnipiac poll

    A Quinnipiac University poll taken March 3–5, 2018, asked 1,122 voters in the United States who they thought were the best and worst Presidents since World War II.[41]


    Best President since World War II:


    1 Ronald Reagan (28%)

    2 Barack Obama (24%)

    3 John F. Kennedy (tie) (10%)

    5 Bill Clinton (tie) (10%)

    5 Donald Trump (7%)


    Worst President since World War II:


    1 Donald Trump (41%)

    2 Barack Obama (21%)

    3 Richard Nixon (10%)

    4 Jimmy Carter (8%)

    5 George W. Bush (6%)


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States

    I could go into favorable/unfavorable ratings also. Democrats gave Obama an average of 90% favorable, Republicans gave him an average of 12% favorable. Democrats give Trump an average of 8% favorable, Republicans give Trump an average of 88% favorable. You can see the party line divide plainly, the partisan divide.

    As for athletics, I view none as being patriotic. They're not putting their life on the line for their country, they're doing nothing to benefit the country outside of perhaps a feel good moment for some. I get that same feel good moment when the Braves win. Nothing patriotic about the Braves either.

    Most Americans have disapproved of Trump, consistently and relentlessly, since most voters cast their ballots against him in 2016.

    Obama was twice elected with over 51% of the popular vote, the first to achieve that distinction since Eisenhower, and he completed his tenure with 60% approval.

    Whether Trump can approach that level of public support remains to be seen.

    The portents are not auspicious.

    Your homophobia is noted.

    Meanwhile, even Trump has managed to finally haul his fat ass onto the national equality bandwagon.

    “The U.S. Women’s National Team is an inspiration," Collins said. “In securing their fourth World Cup victory, the players, coaches, and staff stand as a testament to the American values of hard work and commitment.”

    The resolution praises head coach Jill Ellis’ “extraordinary leadership” and the team’s “historic attacking prowess” and “strong defensive record,” while also recognizing the women for “leading the fight for equal pay for female athletes.”

    And while congratulating the team, the resolution also says that the Senate “stands in solidarity” with the players “as they strive for equal pay.”

    Their efforts for equal pay has drawn the support of ... Trump, who said Sunday in New Jersey that he “would like to see” parity for male and female soccer players.

    “I would like to see that,” Trump told reporters at Morristown Airport after spending the weekend at his Bedminster golf club. “And you also have to look at numbers because, when you look at World Cup soccer, that’s one thing, and you also have to look at soccer professionals out there. You have to see who’s taking in what.”
