    C'mon, the article says they are giving Qatar the middle finger when really it's sticking your tongue out when Qatar has their back turned. It is all being done in a controlled environment. A middle finger would be refusing to play at all.

    BTW, that was a goal. This is home cooking, no off sides for me.
    I’m very disappointed that this looks bought for Qatar.

    And if Qatar did anything in response, like arrest them for breaking/flaunting their laws, people would be all upset. It's simple their house their rules. If you don't like stay home.

    It worked well enough in the 1960s, that I had a lesson on it in school.

    explain where I'm wrong.
    1968, two Americans protest what is happening in their own country America.
    2022, America(USA Soccer) is protesting the laws of another country Qatar. But only in a controlled environment and still competing without the protest when on the field so not to suffer any consequences.

    It not the same.

    Apparently Qatar has banned all Jewish prayer as well. Really lovely choice of a host.

    They protested on the podium after they won. If the us men’s team were fortunate enough to win place or show I think it would be fantastic if they did so festooned with all thing rainbow colored. Theres a pretty good chance this happens if a first world country wins. In the mean time I’m 100% ok with what they’re doing and I hope like hell it offends FFIFA and Qutar

    And if they do I wouldn't have a problem with Qatar enforcing their laws and throwing them all in jail.

    Wouldn’t expect you to. When people tell you who they are believe them.

    Well aren't you in favor of cutting off the hand of a shoplifter as punishment for the crime? Qatar sounds like your kind of place.

    It would cut shoplifting in half. I also believe you follow the laws of a country you're visiting and don't be surprised if you are punished for breaking them no matter how much you may disagree with them.

    He’d be ok with cutting off a DemoncRAT’s hand.
