sorry- but this was a world sport where the team represents the United States of America- and rapino was vulgar- foul, and disrespectful- she made it political- I like sports too- but i hate vulgar disrespectful loud mouths who are supposed to represent our country- they are a disgrace to our country- as someone in the thread said- winning isn’t everything-
You missed a really interesting game. Too bad. Your loss.
Yes, the girl with the purple pink hair is a real jerk. But she is a very good soccer player and scored the first goal of the game on a penalty kick.
If you are not too busy you might do a little research on how many sports teams including their owners, coaches and management are 100% pro-American. No Trump Haters allowed.
I doubt seriously if can find one. You might just consider boycotting all televised sports just to be safe.
This issue has strangely divided my family - the younger members agree that players like the vile rapino should be able to kneel if they so-wish, or tell the American president they aren’t going to the f-ing White House if the team should win - that that is their right and privilege as an American, that it is, in fact, everything we stand for.
They don’t see this as an issue of utmost disrespect to the American people, the American Flag, American values or the American president.
The older ones see this as anti-American, whatever they may think or feel about Trump. Rapino and those of her ilk are vile, just like Starbuck’s action against the cops in Tempe, Arizona - and Nike who bowed to the likes of Colin Kaepernick.
I won’t spend my hard earned dollars on anything or anyone that supports this abomination and spits in the face of the country that has afforded them the opportunity and ability to succeed as they have.
Each should be forced to spend a good block of time in Cuba or Saudi Arabia and see what a true oppressive state looks like.
