Exactly right.
If you’re going to start stripping organizations of non-profit status because some of their members are making political statements, there’s a long, long list, including a lot of churches.
_____________________________________________
I do not support taking away non-profit status from US Soccer Federation.
I have no problem with Men’s National Team which is also sponsored by the Federation...
I might support the USWNT in the future when Ms. Rapinoe and Ms. Krieger are no longer on the roster...At some point, they will retire from soccer...They both are over 30 years old...
Saw a close up of Rapinoe. That is a hard 30.
They still got beat by teenage boys, bottom line.
Women’s soccer is what it is. The US team is highly funded unlike their counterparts in FIFA. They should win. As long as they disrespect our nation, they are shit to me.
Also, they cut the best left back in America due to her not bending over for the homosexual rainbow flag political advocacy. They do not represent America.
The lesbian activist coach appointing the activist and nevertrumper Rapinoe as Team Captian, takes the cake. They are dead to me.
Good for you. I’m not going to root against any Team USA because some progressive is an asshole. Why should I get down to their level and hate on America like they do. It’s not about the individuals, it’s about the team. I will not root against any Team USA.
I was wondering when somebody in this thread would get around to asking that question.
Non-profit does NOT mean that the folks running them do NOT get paid extremely well!
Surely you could point out the hypocracy of certain INDIVIDUALS on the Team.
I don’t consider them a TeamUSA Team.
I loved watching them play up until this year. And it wasn’t just Rapinoe.
Lavelle and Press emerged as future stars.
It took a succession of moves to have me not rooting for this team. 1) Rapinoe kneeling and not honoring the flag and anthem...(still rooting) 2) AlexMorgan a neverTrumper and won’t go to WH ( waivering ) 3A Found out that the best Left Back in American left off team last year due to not wearing a political jersey 3B Coach cut her early in tryouts (obviously due to her not giving in) 4 Coach names poor represtative, Rapinoe, to be TeamUSA Captain.
At that point they were not about US Women’s Soccer dominance, but playing for themselves and their politics.
My position is that I root for every National Team USA, I will not allow progressives to get me to root against a Team USA. I will not allow myself to sink to their depths and root against America like some of the ignorant athletes. As I’ve stated many times, I am a team first person,bI root for Team America, not any individual. I will not become one of them.
A hope “a couple” are brave enough to defy the dyke and go anyway.
I respect your position.
This specific team is not a TeamUSA to me. I hope they can come back in the Olympics and win the Gold, hopefully with a team first showing.
I thought Rose Lavelle really broke out this summer and Press should have gotten much more playing time.
