Trump criticizes Megan Rapinoe for anthem protests during World Cup
NY Post ^ | 6/24/19 | Todd Venezia

President Trump criticized one of the co-captains of the US Women’s World Cup soccer team for protesting during the national anthem at the team’s games during the tournament in France. Trump, who has been outspoken about protests by NFL players during the anthem, made the comments about 33-year-old Megan Rapinoe to The Hill during an interview Monday. “No. I don’t think so,” he said when asked if he thought she should be protesting. Rapinoe has refused to sing the “Star Spangled Banner”before each of the matches during the tournament as protest of injustice in the United States. In the past, she has even knelt at other US national team games during the anthem. “I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart,” the 33-year-old national co-captain said in a recent interview before the competition started. “I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.” Trump made the comments hours after the women’s team had a 2-1 win over Spain.

She's(?) 33?1?

And Pres. Trump is more than twice as old as this hag. "instead of being my deliverance/ she has a strange resemblance to a cat named Frankenstein." (apologies to the late great Sam Cooke)

Me too. They've done nothing but embarrass themselves and the USA.

If she hates America that much, why is she playing on the “U.S. National” team? She needs to be fired.

Trump missed the perfect opportunity to invite it to exile itself from the US!

This is what is really stupid about her. She represents America, which she apparently hates. I'm glad I don't care about soccer, but I do hope the team she plays on loses.

Why punish the team?

Just pray, if anyone has to suffer a broken leg, may it be her, it.

How we long for the good old days when these obnoxious homosexuals were in the closet. We had no idea how unlikable these whiners were until they decided they needed attention 24/7 and demanded that we consider them normal.

I guess the Trump is a racist because he criticized NFL players narrative is pretty much shot.

I asked myself the same question.

And, what gets me is that the team appears to have no issue w Rapinoe's (she is an excellent player) hatred of America.

My decision?

If the team and coaches don't mind an America-hating player, then I choose to mind them.

I can't root for them to win, and that bothers me. I'm a long-time soccer fan and a perpetual team USA supporter.
