From the link: "The United States women’s national soccer team on Monday called on the United States Soccer Federation to “immediately repeal” a 2017 policy that requires players to “stand respectfully” during the national anthem."
Now, this request by them is anti-American, on its face. We saw how vile they were when they won last go round. They've been waiting for an opportunity to be vile again, and they found it. These women want to play on their country's team for selfish reasons only, and they are tired of being held back. They want to use their abilities to criticize the US in front of the world. Fuck that. Criticize it on your own time. Lobby for political causes on your own time. Don't put on the USA uniform if you can't stand for its anthem in public. Let's get women to play for Team USA who aren't embarrassed to do so.
If the USSF changes their policy as requested, I will never watch another of their games until the policy is changed back.

I trust they will suffer the same horrible fate as Nike did when they ran that Colin Kap ad campaign.
Thank you Ned for your brave stance and your consistent unyielding and principled defense of America’s values.
You and President Trump inspire us all.

This means a lot less revenue and they are bitter about it. They are straining to get attention.

I had a daughter who played soccer, and we got into the women's national team a bit years ago, but now? Fuck that bullshit. Would I want her looking up to them as some kind of role model? No way.

And yet they want to be paid like the mens team.

You want to represent your country? Fine, stand and respect its anthem.
Seems pretty simple.
