I love how so many support the protest. Im sorry but I just dont see it that way. There are better ways to protest.

For example, she should protest by not allowing herself to be on the US team since she is so ashamed of what ever she claims.

 

And for all the military, sorry but you didnt fight so people could live here and hate America. You fought so we could have freedoms like religion, press, and yes, freedom to protest, but IMO not freedom to protest against our country.

 

By God if they want to protest, then go to Wash DC where its their fault for the problems.

Who?

Who?

 

To be honest I had to google both her name and USWNT to see why it was even relevant. Seems to me just another wannabe be player, like CK, who was looking for a little attention on themselves, not for a cause.

"Protest how we want you to, or don't protest at all."

 

Different thread, same narrative. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, that couldn't be further from the truth. She's one of the 2-3 most popular, biggest names in women's soccer.

She's one of the key players on the most recent team to win the Women's World Cup. Just because one doesn't follow the sport doesn't mean the participants are nobodies. And what does "wannabe" player mean? Only the most important of stars are allowed to protest or voice their opinion? Ten speakers spoke at the March on Washington in 1963, several of which you have never heard of before. Were those who you don't know any less important?

:lol2:

 

Yep! Why not have a press conference after the game, when roughly three reporters would have been there, and then your opinions could be in a newspaper/online article that only the biggest of fans would have read?

Reason 1 = soccer

Reason 2 = women's soccer

I do admit that even though I don't follow woman's soccer, I could rattle off a few names and hers it not one of them.

Then you probably shouldn't comment on her stature in the game, right? Anyone who knows soccer, knows who she is.

I disagree with the message. I think she has every right to do it. I just don't agree with it.

Yea, thats the other side of the freedom thing.

 

I should say i don't necessarily disagree with the message entirely.

Its kind of ironic to me that she wont stand for our anthem but she is okay with representing our country on the USWNT.

 

Exactly.

Exactly.

 

The cause isn't important enough to quit the team?

Go march up and down the streets carry signs, dont buy from certain places, ban goods from wherever, stop supporting whatever you disagree with, vote in new people who actually give 2cents, write your legislators, impeach people, call for firings, do a sit in, hunger strikes, etc.

 

Dont disgrace your country by disrespecting it.
