I have no feelings on Meghan Rapinoe one way or the other. Just pointing out the irony.

Overblown level of self-importance.

Good. Now I hope that bitch gets cancelled just like all the other SJWarriors have done to countless people that I assume Rapinhoe fully was onboard with. frick that America-hating count. I’m beyond ready for her to go away.

Playing for usa is pressure...to win

But standing for Anthem should be something that athletes enjoy...with pride

Naw... If I wanted to know their political views I would buy People magazine.

Was she even on the team when Rapinoe started kneeling?

ETA: She wasn't.

She’s standing up to non existent oppression by doing a useless gesture.

I hope someone has already posted Fry saying that he was “shocked...but not that shocked” by now.

That’s because no one has the guts to step up and tell rapinoe to shut the frick up and she can’t boss players around


Only one USWNT player didn’t kneel ahead of Olympic soccer match

Star forward, Carli Lloyd has consistently found herself in the minority among the team on the issue of kneeling. US players knelt as the national anthem played ahead of various scrimmages in 2020 and earlier this year. But Lloyd never joined her teammates, opting to stand with her hand on her heart.

At the Tokyo Olympics, all the US players stood during the anthem. Their kneeling came afterward, just before kickoff. Still, Lloyd stood.




Also in other news the GOAT, U.S. Women’s soccer player Carli Lloyd retired today.

Bitch, please.

When an athlete or Hollyweird Star is asked a political question, how hard is it to say “I like to keep my opinions on political issues private. Next question, please.”

Considering that not everyone on the soccer team kneeled, it’s hard to say honestly if the whole team was really bullied into it.
