Agreed.
Perhaps US Soccer also assumes a team where a third of the women kneel for the national anthem does not include players interested in representing their country.

And a portion of those kneeling are internationals here getting an education on taxpayer money. Surprised no one has brought that little nugget up

I highly doubt it, in case you didn’t know Jill Ellis and April Heinrich are both lesbians and that is as liberal as it gets. Refer to Rampinoe, but nice try.

No surprise that, in this thread, all humor is lost. Their sexual orientation matters not at all to me, all I care about is them representing US Soccer well, and winning games.
But how interesting -- do you assume every lesbian is extremely liberal?
You do realize that US Soccer has banned kneeling during the national anthem? Those unpredictable lesbians.

You call that humor? More like trying to be a dickhead by taking a jab at the UCLA team for kneeling and their players shouldn’t represent the U20 team.
I didn’t know Sunil Gulati the head of US Soccer was a lesbian, but thanks for the 411.

No Bruins on the U20 squad?
It appears many of the U20's that are still in the tournament passed on the camp.

More like half the Bruin starters are in the U20 pool;
MAP’s DD, Ashley, Sheehan, K. Rodriguez, Athens and Villacorta.
Stanford Kiki, Kuhlman, and Haley.

Do they not want people to know they knelt, or do you? That is a pretty timid form of protest, insulting those who take notice.
But perhaps you are right, my point was more about irony, since the majority of the country finds little humor in their actions.

Does it matter to me, if players kneel or don’t. I’m indifferent, because it’s their right as a form of freedom of expression.
Obviously you seem to care a lot about them kneeling by making it a point that maybe they shouldn’t represent the US YNT. I guess representing the US well over fielding the most competitive team in order to win is more important. Got it!

Is the Canadian National player the Captain of the UCLA squad?

Not sure about Fleming, but I recall seeing Gorloski and Winters meeting the refs prior to a game.

Was she the Captain when they kneeled during the Desert Swing
Not when @surfrider posted about the article weeks later
I believe they refer to The Canadian National as being the Captain

Of course it is, you don't think so?

As I posted, I am indifferent. Per the most interesting man’s post, the lesbian Sunil Gulati of US Soccer has banned kneeling....so it’s a mute point.
Rampinoe kneeled before and she still starts on the US WNT. So I don’t think YNT players are going to be ostracized and shouldn’t be.

The suits that run U.S. Soccer aren't standing - or should we say, kneeling - with Megan Rapinoe.
The federation that runs the national programs blasted the World Cup champ for taking a knee during the national anthem before Thursday night's friendly against Thailand in Columbus, Ohio.
U.S. Soccer said in a statement released to ESPN - which aired the U.S.-Thailand game - that they expect everyone to stand.
"Representing your country is a privilege and honor for any player or coach that is associated with U.S. Soccer's National Teams. Therefore, our national anthem has particular significance for U.S. Soccer.
Megan Rapinoe becomes first Team USA player to protest anthem
"In front of national and often global audiences, the playing of our national anthem is an opportunity for our Men's and Women's National Team players and coaches to reflect upon the liberties and freedom we all appreciate in this country. As part of the privilege to represent your country, we have an expectation that our players and coaches will stand and honor our flag while the national anthem is played

I guess Rampinoe didn’t get the memo about kneeling being banned by US Soccer.
I’m sure Gulati has bigger problems to worry about like being re-elected another term after our US Mens team failed to qualify for the World Cup.
