Rescind your citizenship if u are not proud to be American. All races (buffalo soldiers, Japanese Americans, etc.) died in the world wars for your asses. Take a picture of those girls that kneeled, place that in Facebook and Instagram, tag them and let’s see how they do in the market place after school.
There are other ways to protest and IMO. that shit needs to stay out of sports.
It obviously hurts that there's is no comparison between MAP's daughter and yours, and she exceeds yours by every meaningful measure. Better soccer player. Better student. Attends a better school. She also learned from her dad to stand behind her convictions, while you're teaching yours to hide behind a keyboard. It is tremendously funny that MAP and his daughter stand up for their beliefs, while all you can muster is trying to take credit for the work of others who actually "died for our country". What have you done for our country? If you're relying on what other people did more than 70 years ago as if you helped win WWII, the answer is almost certainly nothing.
In the end, you've been beaten by a 20-year old women's soccer player at UCLA who keeps getting under your skin. Even better, odds are very high she's going to blow right past your own daughter in life given her better resume, the strength of her convictions, and her passion. Hopefully, affirmative action will be the cherry on top that really turns the screws on you, although she obviously doesn't need it. Just like you, your daughter is an anonymous nobody who will soon be competing for jobs with people like MAP's kid who've already stood out and separated themselves from the pack in everything they've done. The best part of this, though, is that MAP's daughter is forcing you to confront that it doesn't matter how angrily you type on your keyboard, she and others aren't going to stop. They're going to keep shoving the fact that the United States is not the perfect society right in your face no matter how much you pretend everything is perfect, or how much you whine that they've invaded your "safe space" of women's college soccer. They're The American flag is just a colorful, meaningless piece of cloth so long as cops keep shooting black people for eating ice cream on their own couches, for walking in front of a window in their own house, for walking down the street, for driving while black. There's nothing you can do to make people think or act differently, and every time you claim you know why any 18 year old kid, let alone a black one, died in WWII, all you do is point out how stupid you really are and why you're on the losing end of your argument. You get to bear the inconvenience of some kids kneeling at a sporting event, while they and others deal with reality and work to implement long term change.
