People can **** on the anthem but people can't cheer against the people that **** on the anthem? Freedom for my opinion but not freedom for yours huh?

That's the whole rub for me. And that's precisely what "libertarian" geniuses like a certain repeat poster in this thread believe. Lolberts is the best label for those nerds.

CJS? It's been a long time since i've seen anyone kneel but it's also been a long time since I watched the start of sporting event. Folks here were complaining about kneelers...

Criminal justice system.

Yeah, like I said earlier ITT, people are erroneously hating on this iteration of team USA, criticizing them for pushing social causes and losing focus when that's not the case. The team that pushed social causes won.

DeSantis is still crying about NBA kneelers as of this week. It really moves the radar, apparently.

This is exactly what makes me smile about all this. I don’t watch women’s soccer (really any women’s sport) and don’t mich care one way or the other about MR.

I do, however, find the reactions interesting. One person can exercise their free speech and the reaction and disgust is explained away with “hey, you’ve got free speech but there are consequences that come with that!”

Some girls on the Olympic team representing the US exercise their free speech running down the country they represent, and it’s pearl clutching when people aren’t exactly rooting for them.

Yea I asked what the rules of engagement are a few pages back.

Players can voice a political opinion.
But fans can’t have an opinion about players voicing a political opinion.

So who’s in charge of deciding when it’s ok for players to put politics first?
Fans aren’t allowed to play politics, clearly.

Is it Huff? I bet it’s Huff.

Somebody ask @n_huffhines what the rules of engagement are.

Give him a break, Elon's got him lined up for a consulting gig so he can get Twitter or X or whatever back on track.

Cheering against the USWNT is one thing. I don’t support that.

But anyone who has a negative opinion on Rapinoe using her platform to protest can prepare for a full throated rebuke.

All of them? I don’t think so.

There were multiple women on the team that didn’t kowtow to Rapinoe this year. That would have been unimaginable a few years back. And unforgivable - ask Carli Lloyd.

Her power and influence were obviously in decline. Along with her skill on the field.

The US Women will be back. And so will America’s adoration.

Once Rapinoe and the woke bullsh*t is gone, yes.

Until then, no.
