US soccer star Alex Morgan plans to decline any White House invite after World Cup
Fox News ^ | 05/23/19 | Ryan Gaydos

U.S. soccer star Alex Morgan is getting ready to help defend her team’s World Cup title in France next month and if the Americans should win again, she said she’s prepared to decline a possible invitation to visit President Trump at the White House.

Morgan, who has previously been outspoken about Trump and his administration’s policies, told Time Magazine in a lengthy profile published Thursday she doesn’t stand for what the current president stands for.

“I don’t stand for a lot of things the current office stands for,” she said, adding that she doesn’t care for the administration’s policies about separating migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

She said she would not go to the White House if the president invites the team. It was unclear if Trump had any plans to invite the team, if they win.

“We don’t have to be put in this little box,” Morgan said. “There’s the narrative that’s been said hundreds of times about any sort of athlete who’s spoken out politically. ‘Stick to sports.’ We’re much more than that, OK?”

Seriously, conceited little snowflakes think people give a crap what they think? She's a national embarrassment, like the Dixie Chick, and so many other dumbass pampered spoiled rotten rude little pukes that have no respect for the sacrifices made by earlier generations to hand them the luxury life they feel so entitled to. Spit on 'em.

I don’t believe in what Alex Morgan and the other lesbos on the team stand for, and I won’t be watching one minute of the women’s World Cup.

Rapinoe is Lesbian. Morgan is Straight. Nevertrumpers-one of each

Just so I have this straight; Morgan is a nevertrumper, and Rapinoe is a neverthumper?

Ms. Morgan, I don't intend to stop watching USWNT games because of you and Megan Rapinoe...I have been watching USWNT since 1999...But, I don't know about other people who are annoyed with your comments...

If the USA c*n^s lose, I won't give a fat rat's ass.

These two self centered bitches are getting just a little ahead of them selves, since as of right now, there are many games left to play.

It would be comeuppance if the 0-6 Thailand team won their first game of 2019.

It probably won't happen, but sports are funny.

Most high school boys Soccer teams would crush these so called “professionals” who want more money to watch them play at a mediocre level. Sorry to offend some, but it’s the truth; ask the Australian team.

"I think the whole thing of inviting sports teams to the White House should just go away. What’s the point? It just creates an opportunity for stupid athletes to make some grandstanding b.s. political “statement”."

Ditto.

I hope that not one millionth of a penny of the federal taxes I pay goes to subsidize this or any other sport. I hope the team loses to a country that does not have its collective head up its collective ass like Hungary or Poland.

I remember in 1958, they asked for kids to sign up for Soccer. They never got a one. Commie Football.

No one cares! And she should really keep her trap shut. She’ll curse her team but dissing DJT. I could care if they lose.

Going to be interesting when guys who “identify” as women start taking these ladies places on these teams.
I mean after all, they cannot complain about it, they support it.

True dat. When my son was a teenager he played for his high school and for an elite local 'traveling team'. This traveling team was 12-0 in Western PA and decided to enter in three week event in Sweden.

The 'elite W. PA, 12-0 team' went '0'ffer in Europe against kids that were the same age and went 2-6 against kids that were 2-3 years their junior.

The skill level was exponentially different, and we were sucking wind.

The female teams that play in the world cup, would get slaughtered by high school aged boys, because many are good enough to be playing professional {and some are}.

“Soccer” is not even an American sport. Why would they get invited to the White House?

It’s a social occasion, not a political one.
The players go to the White House to be celebrated,
for their achievements, not to debate policy.

Apparently we’re all too childish now to have polite
social interactions with people with whom we disagree.

Is she expecting the President to start inviting losers to the White House?
