Why would he do that? It’s much easier to stand and point.
If you guys will excuse me, I'm done discussing the politics of Megan Rapinoe with all of you.
Does he have to be? What has he done that has been detrimental to gays and lesbians? Maybe I’m uninformed?
Since when have we required Presidents to be advocates of groups? He should be an advocate for all Americans right? That is his first and most important job. Right?
Yeah. And you may not like the current POTUS but you damn well better respect what it took from all Americans to create and build it. When you kneel you do not. It’s that simple. Go champion a foundation or run for political office if you don’t like the current policies Or social status. But don’t kneel during the anthem of the very gatdamn country you live in and play for. And get paid for.
I know plenty of women that think disrespecting the country you are representing shows very little class, but honestly her being a woman has nothing to do with it.
Haha. Typical lib response. Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain!
PM me. I've sworn off political talk in the rest of this thread.
Doing what you guys want me to do... shut up.
Ketch, that's precisely what I don't want you to do.
You need to see this through.
What did you mean by the reference to the Constitution?
I guess she hasn’t noticed that we abolished slavery. Not sure what conversation regarding slavery she’s referring to that need to be had.
My daughter plays select soccer and potentially has a bright future. She thinks the equal pay thing is ridiculous, she doesn’t even like watching women’s soccer. She likes watching men play because “it’s just a lot more fun to watch.”
I’m thankful she has some common sense and doesn’t let bias affect her opinion.

Ketch has minimized the slavery comment, and insists that her reference to slavery "wasn't [the real issue] at all" and that we regard it as "just one comment."
We have to sort of divine the real legitimacy of her cause by educating ourselves further, just like we're supposed to divine Ketch's obscure reference to the Constitution.
She really ought to watch Rose Lavelle though. That girl's a star.

I mean... google. There are literally content pieces everywhere. Check my Twitter page. I linked numerous stories.
Do all of your staff writers make the same amount?
Well she will no longer be on the team (probably a good thing) any longer so it’s a mute point as to her effect moving forward. So I will recant that statement.
I stand corrected and admit my mistake after proper research. Still no excuse for disrespecting the flag.
oh, im sure we are all guilty …..I just want to know what for
Liberals start slithering out of these comments because , as herd animals, they are never left out to actually define their belief system
3rd time why cant you recite what her positions are
you could have already done it in the time you are taking to deflect
just tell me
She knelt for a stretch of time going back at least to last year, but the US Soccer Federation (or whatever that body is) made a rule against it, and so now she stands without covering her heart. She says she will probably never sing or cover her heart again during the anthem.
Initially, her kneeling was a "nod" to Colin Kaepernick, whose kneeling was certainly about what he regarded as racial injustice. Rapinoe's sense of cause seems to have a wider and more ambiguous scope: it is a more general stand against injustice of all sorts, which takes in historical injustice (slavery), as well as current racial injustice, gender inequality, and probably an assortment of other nameless grievances.
And she puts beans in her vegetarian chili...
So it's really about Kaepernick, both for Rapinoe and for Ketch, to say nothing of Nike, which, as a giant corporation with a long history of sweatshop labor, is certainly qualified to tell the rest of us what our public values ought to be and which icons we ought to follow.
So what was Kaepernick about?
Well, Ketch would probably tell us to educate ourselves and would helpfully direct us to his Twitter account for the appropriate links. Beyond that, if we still had questions, he would tell us that "If you can't acknowledge the rightness of Kaepernick's cause, you probably don't acknowledge much of anything outside of your little bubble of ideas." Or, as an alternative, he might say, "if you have to ask, I'm not sure my explaining it will help."
This is always where it ends. That's the "conversation" he and Rapinoe want to have. It effectively means agree with me or you're a shitty person.
