Kick her off the campus - poof goes the scholarship.
Just as disrespectful as the parent(s).
She is a follower. I prefer leaders.

Dumba$$ you being somebody without any knowledge of D1 sports makes it clear that you don't understand how a scholarship works. Nor have you seen what the coach said nor do you understand that everything was vetted by the administration. UCLA is a great institution. You clearly are dumb. And a pedophile.

You are the only one in here today sounding like an ignorant racist.

@Sheriff Joe like I told you once before I really don't care what you think about me. I have been called much worse than a racist. I will tell you that it usually doesn't turn out well in those situations. Stop illustrating your white privilege because I come from a town called Smackamitch. Don't book yourself a trip there.

Of course you know many people find it disrespectful. I don't. But I don't see the flag as ONLY a symbol of American military, but as a symbol of America as a whole (including the military).
The fact that the protesters know if will be offensive and controversial is the ENTIRE reason why it's done during the national anthem. If it was done in the locker room behind closed doors, nobody would pay attention. Of course, you know this and your daughter knows this, as that's the point of even doing it. She is doing something that will purposefully antagonize others who share a different value system in order to bring attention to a value that is dear to her heart. That's fine by me, but don't pretend it isn't controversial or that she doesn't know it will offend a sizeable chunk of reasonable people who think there is a better venue to display her viewpoints.
Also please don't pretend that her display of protest makes her immune to criticism for her decision. That's part of the price to be paid for raising her "voice" in such a controversial manner. f you don't realize that or if you didn't see that coming, you should be advising her more wisely, go find an echo chamber that will tell you how awesome you are, or else get some thicker skin.

As far as my value system goes, big thumbs up to the kneelers. It takes bravery, and I hope their message gets through.

I don't give a rats a$$ about your opinion or the other opinions about it. You have no idea why my kid does what she does so don't f'ing try to tell me what it is about. Have you spoken with any of the players? You can join in the chorus of idiocy but don't assume that you know $hit until you have spoken with the players.

White privilege is a myth.
You are getting a little out of hand, aren't you? Didn't your parents teach you better than this?
You are the only one spouting off in here, just relax, where are you from again?

Smackamitch. Would you like a trip there? Again I don't give a damn what you or any of these people think. You have no idea why MY kid does what she does. All you are giving is your stupid opinion. I have facts. I have seen no facts from you or anyone else. We are talking about MY kid's team. Most talking crap DON'T EVEN HAVE A KID PLAYING D1 SOCCER! Let's hear your opinion on Entropy or your take on Machiavelli or your understanding of string theory because you don't know $hit about soccer and definitely don't know $hit about my kid or her team.

You have not seen me out of hand. When I am people end up in the ER and I end up in handcuffs for a couple of hours.....

I've been to several NFL games, and there are always people chugging a beer, ordering a hot dog, and I can assume going number 2 on the toilet, during the national anthem. Why isn't this considered disrespectful to the flag and military? Last post since I'm taking a break from the insanity of this forum, but I applaud MAPs daughter and her teammates for standing up (or kneeling, I suppose) for such an important cause. Kaepernick, and any player who kneels, will go down on the right side of history. MAP should be proud that her daughter can be counted amongst those who kneeled.

You are such a douche.

Of course you (and your daughter) care about my opinion. That's why she's doing something purposefully antagonistic in order to change people's opinions about an issue.

And yes, I know why she's doing it and I don't have to speak with the players. She's trying to raise awareness of systemic oppression against people of color and create a dialogue about it in our country.

She's doing it for the same reasons as the thousands of other teams who are doing it. Although it wouldn't shock anyone around here if she's leading her team in protest of idiot parents who live waaaaaaaaaay to vicariously through their children's impressive success.

I happen to already agree with her stance. I wish her the best. You, however...I am a little tired of your constant bullying of people who happen to disagree with you. I happen to be the type of person who has taken care of quite a few bullies in my lifetime, so while I'm not sure if you're the gymnast or the football player, feel free to come at me with your "smackamitch" tough guy talk or your "your player sucks" or your "I know what I'm talking about and you don't" personal attacks instead of addressing the issue like a sane adult. If you're the girl, you'll just get your guy in over his head if I ever see the two of you, and if you're the guy, I'll simply beat the dog piss out of you if I ever see you. Either way, it's not a winning attack for you. You're a college educated person who is better than this. I've seen intelligent posts from you multiple times, but the ignorant or bullying ones are starting to far outweigh any value you bring around here.

Carry on.

Tough guy, huh? You just need to get off that horse, no one has said anything about your kid, I didn't even know we were talking about your kid until you said it. She is the one putting herself out there for public view and opinion, let her make her own decisions and deal with the consequences, college won't last forever. It will make her a much more well rounded individual.
 
Speaking about the player isn't out of line. It's the purpose of the protest - to create awareness and dialogue. I applaud her stance, her willingness to organize it properly, and her bravery. It is awesome.

Always resorting to threats and bashing kids. Geeze.
 
Hey Dominic, ever since the forum went down, whenever I click on the Div1 Women's soccer thread, I get re-directed to some off-topic sub-sub-forum where the posts are all either in haiku or end with someone picking up their teeth with broken fingers. Weird.

What Kaepernick has now is immortality. And most of the NFL quarterbacks are worse than him. What he has done so well is show America how racist the NFL is. Guess what. Lot's of mothers of little black boys that we love to watch tear each other up each week from Pop Warner on up are now starting to realize that the NFL and white America doesn't give a $hit about their kids.

My son who would be an excellent football player will never play a down of it. Plenty of other talented kids will be passing on it too. Let's see how great the NFL is when you have Carson Wentz playing against Steve Janikowski....

If it wasn’t for the cost of golf, golf is where the money (huge endorsement contracts) is....ask Tiger, Phil, and Jack. Both still make boat loads of money well into retirement from the game. Oh yeah, and they can keep playing well into their 50’s too.

I would add, I have also seen fans who don’t remove their hats or/and put their hand over their heart during the National Anthem. IMO, that is worse than taking a knee, because they aren’t protesting anything.

No they are just ignorant. What is the protesters excuse? In my opinion if you are protesting police violence, do it the the face of the police not on National TV just because you have a large audience. It is confusing trying to explain to a child what football has to do with the police.

Being ignorant is no excuse, for removing your hat or putting your right hand over your heart. It’s worse, because they were taught this since grade school.

As for those protesting, it’s their 1st amendment right to do so. The difference is they have a larger platform to do it on than the average Joe’s. If fans/posters don’t like it....use your 1st amendment right by not watching.
