    tbh, I took his statement as a joke. Maybe not so funny but he’s ailing and off his game.

    Thank you for being a reasonable liberal.
    Of course he was joking. Some of these guys are always looking for a fight.

    It was a shot at one person who was not good enough to be on this team. That person as well is the one who refuses to put their hand over their heart or sing the national anthem for the flipping USA National Team. Spare me the defense of the a person that lacks patriotism yet was allowed to represent our Country.

    How patriotic of you to stand up for someone that will not even represent the Country they play for with respect...

    Is that really what this is all about though? Many athletes and fans put their hands by their sides and don’t sing.

    I have my own thoughts on the issue and find it ridiculous that Americans can be so disrespectful to the Greatest Country on Earth.

    But to be on the USA National Team and not willing to represent Our Country with Respect. Infuriating. That said...you could argue and I would agree. This gets to the people in charge who allowed this. They put an old person who was not good enough and a cancer to what the USA National Team is about on the team. We got what we deserved. Sadly.

    I have always put my hand on heart for the Pledge but didn’t know it was the proper etiquette for the Anthem until I read about it after Obama caught a lot of heat. But I think there is a lot of politics going on in the way this is discussed.

    Obama may face grilling on patriotism

    Why weren’t the Gators in my clip accused of hating America though?

    I think Black Americans and outspoken liberal, feminist, lesbians are held to a different standard.

    I tend to agree. They're held to a much different standard.

    You know why it is a big deal. The Gators were not representing the USA at the World level.

    the national anthem generally has no place at domestic sporting events. Nor does the military. I’ll allow on July 4th

    A "bunch"? You must have a low threshold for "bunch"

    Politics werent what bugged me. It was the cocky commercials leading up. Probably not the best idea in retrospect.

    Oh, and Sweden is really good.

    No one cares what you "allow" , nor are we interested in what you say has "no place" .

    You are dramatically out voted by the full stadiums cheering it vigorously.

    I similarly don’t care what you think. In my experience most take the NA as an opportunity to stand in line for booze or concessions. For me it’s a good time to surf the net.

    From a sports perspective, this team is between 2 generations and the older one needs to bow out for the younger. They also had injury issues and poor coaching.

    But of course, this thread is really about the deeply deplorable hatred of strong women that so many dirtbags in this country possess.

    so the womens's soccer players

    For the 2023 World Cup the USA soccer team stood but was getting maga hate for not singing the NA. There are men your video doing the same. Including veterans/military.
