US Womens' Soccer Team Doesn't want to Stand for Anthem

So the current narrative is that we are supposed to understand that not respecting the Flag and the Anthem isn't not respecting the Flag and the Anthem because, uh, because they say so. How about this - if that isn't the intent, don't do it. Protest some other way, *******.

Oh it is. As if the entire country is **** now because of the acts of a few. With that logic we could all kneel for some sort of grievance in society.


All it does is piss people off and divide them. Not going to solve **** when it comes to.crime.


I went over this last time they did it. Now I just don't care.

See we don't have this political forum on the football side because it doesn't ******* belong in sports.


Now the sport itself will will force it on us. You know it's going be a **** show this year. All of the sports shows will tell us how bad and racist we are and bla.blah.blah....

Over it. It isn't even worth it. I barely cared last season. Have at it.
 
These sports figures think way too much of themselves. You know what? I don't give a **** if you sit, stand, do cartwheels or jumping jacks...You ******* need us. We don't need you. You need us to watch, buy tickets and merchandise. In my world?, I don't give a **** if there wasn't another professional game of any kind. On my list of top 100 things I need in my life, sports is #297. So shut up, play your little game or **** off.
 
So....we’ll have a national team that will not stand for the flag that represents their own country? Why the hell would they want to be part of a team of something they hate? How sad is it that I would actually want to see my own National team in any sport lose?

As somebody mentioned earlier, I can't understand why a person would want to play on a national team for a nation they feel is morally or socially deficit.

Why on earth are they "representing" a country that they feel is so desperately in need of MAJOR cultural overhauls?

I don't think most people realize that along with most of those amazing butt-kissing, kneeling politicians, that THEY are actually the problem. White, entitled, athletic, sporty Megan Rapinoe is the PROBLEM. She doesn't understand the first damn thing about black oppression. She has a nice car and makes her living kicking ******* soccer balls. How can she have ANY ******* idea what black people deal with every single day? It's a ******* ridiculous and frankly offensive joke. SHE is white privilege. Far more so than Billy working at the plant, hoping he can put enough away to supplement his social security in 15 years.

Nancy Pelosi... Are you ******* kidding me? *****, you ARE white privilege. You make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, live in a gated community, you get driven around in an expensive car, you're guarded by trained killers and YOU have the nerve to tell folks you're sympathetic to the plight of the downtrodden black people? Are you ******* high? YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. YOU are White Privilege incarnate.

Joe Biden... "I've spent my entire career helping black folks, man!" Really, Joe? The sum result of your ENTIRE LIFE'S ******* WORK is where we're at now? and YOU have the balls to say, "Hey, if you don't vote for me, you aint black!" Why on ******* EARTH would any black person vote for you, you ******* pasty white rich ****?

How do they NOT GET that THEY are the problem. Not part of the problem, not a a symptom. Not a contributing factor. THEY are the ******* real-life 3-D, Dolby Surround Sound reality of White ******* Entitlement. And THEY think they can do something about it? Jesus. How ******* dumb is ANYBODY who votes for these ******* people while claiming to give a **** about the BLM movement?

It's not healthy to keep **** bottled up inside. You need to let it all out, man.
 
Did go on a bit of a rant there, didn't I?

In fairness, I may have just "let it out".
 
I really wish I could be done with the NFL, but I love the game and Steelers too much. It's just too deep in my blood.

Same. I will give it one more year and reevaluate.
 
For the first time ever, I'm probably done with the NFL. I'll issue my own protest. I'll cancel my DirectTV Sunday Ticket I've had for 10 years. I doubt I watch much football. Fishing is my new hobby. Don't need the NFL.

I am pretty damn close at this point. I have been a fan of the NFL since 1972, watching a dynasty begin after the drafting of one Franco Harris. As each new insult stacks upon the prior, as more and more it becomes clear that professional sports is a massive con job and fans the unwitting but willing victims, the less I care about professional sports.

I'm sure I'm not alone. **** em.

Yep. News alert, Steelers, and the NFL, and MLB: I don't need you, at all, in the least; you absolutely need me and millions like me.
 
All of this may be moot, with COVID killing millions of people every single day, they may never play any sport again.

Agreed, Dr. Fauci. Thank God for the protests, funerals of criminals killed by cops, and looting or we would have no way of socializing.

Nope. To be fair, my level of pump was lost a couple of seasons ago with all this bs. It’s why I don’t watch any sports networks, news,..etc. that’s all that’s in your face. It used to be about escaping the stresses of life and enjoying your team, your sports and hanging with buds. A large part of that is taken away when it just keeps getting smashed in your fn face.

I’ll be watching the Steelers. Just not like I normally would. When I see BB or a **** ton of BNG take knees, or BLM flags in the rafters. I’m out. Have fun. Maybe I’ll do more porn hub.

Maybe you can get certain passwords no longer in use from a certain team's QB.

“I’ve fallen as short as anybody. I’ve been addicted to alcohol, I’ve been addicted to pornography, which makes me, then, not the best husband, not the best father, not the best Christian I can be," Roethlisberger said.
 
They are all going down the road like ESPN for me. I use to have it on 75% of the time I watched tv. I do not watch it at all anymore. Just got tired of the ****. Sports are suppose to be a escape.
 
****. Who you think got him the links.

I believe it is time to stop playing the anthem before sporting events.

Disagree. It's time to make protests at events subject to a big fine. No one is paying to go to an event to watch someone take a knee or shun the national anthem.. And don't buy the BS, unless they legitimately protest a cause outside of work.
