Have any of them done this? My complaints about America are predominantly for the sake of others and I expect that's how it is for the women.

No idea, I made somewhat of a broad generalization. There is nothing wrong with wanting your country to be better. There is something wrong with complacency.

I don't disagree about wanting your country to "do better", but I don't get how disrespecting your country on the national stage is really doing anything?

I read somewhere that Megan Rapinoe's annual salary is $5.7 million. Seems she could be a little more humble about how well she has it in this country. Again, I really don't GAF what she does, it's her choice. I just think it's childish.

Is it disrespectful to not sing? Seems pretty sensitive.

I personally don't think that's a big deal even though it's still dumb when you are representing a national team. I was referencing more of the not putting hand over heart or any kind of kneeling

It’s a slow time for sports…you have to really look to find decent political content.

Megyn Kelly cant rely on Trump to make period jokes about her to fuel the news cycle.

The thing is this doesn't really help the sports that are on. It's not like baseball kills it when they basically have a monopoly and the NBA didn't do well when they played during this time. It's just not a great time for national sports broadcasting, for some reason. I myself don't even have a live streaming subscription currently, even tho I am interested in the UFC, WWC, and The Basketball Tournament. Even I'm out right now until football's closer to starting up. I figure maybe when the women get out of group stage.

22 to 19, but some stopped watching after 10 minutes and the rest fell asleep by halftime.

They’re playing in Italy. 🇮🇹

I was a Whistling Straits a couple years ago for the last Ryder Cup. The crowd was a mix of PGA and WWE. Good times.

Italy? Well that is different so I assume no links golf. **** I wanna go to Italy
A passed friend of mine played WS maybe 20 years ago/ He was a liquor and wine distributor GM and they sent him everywhere.
Poor ole DJ and his Shakesperean To be a Bunker or Not to Be.
