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

I guess representing the US well over fielding the most competitive team in order to win is more important. Got it![/QUOTE]
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.

Damn them liberals they don’t listen, lol.
Rapinoe was on her feet for both friendlies vs Canada. The message was sent and recieved

Please educate yourself before you make such claims. It was not a one person decision, the US Soccer Board and National Council unanimously voted to ban kneeling, and Jill Ellis supported the decision, at least she said so in interviews. You suggested that because of her sexual orientation, she must be extremely liberal, and therefore more supportive of the protest.
I never claimed any knowledge about Sunil's gender nor sexual orientation, nor do I care, but you certainly seem fixated on it.
And its Rapinoe, without the "m". She starts because US Soccer has done a poor job of identifiying and developing midfielders (at the international level, pure athleticism is less important than being a playmaker) and Rapinoe is one of the very few playmakers we have had the past 4-6 years.

Relax have a Dos Equis, I’m poking fun at you. You seem to be okay dishing out sarcastic humor, but not very good taking it, hahahaha!
I guess you also don’t know about an individual needing to toe the line in order to remain politically correct, so she remains on her superiors good graces. It’s called wanting US Soccer to renew her contract.
Ask me if I care why Rampinoe still starts for the team? Nope don’t care and you wasted an entire paragraph explaining it. Like how I kept the “m”? lmao!

No, she is standing now.
Is she still ,pretty good?
I personally know some pretty "America first" women of the "lebonese" persuasion.
I dont think one's sexual orientation has anything to do with their patriotism.
I dont like the kneeling, and it does make me mad, but its the right of those who do it, to do so.
Its also the right of the rest of us to disapprove as vocally as we see fit.
If my kid was in the same situation, I dont know what she would do.
At this point in the season, many of the players are nursing injuries that require time to heal.
Good luck.

I agree. Surprisingly they understood. She had a very productive conversation and her coaches as always are extremely supportive. She also doesn't want to miss that much school. She is already missing almost a week. I love her focus on school...

The coach is awesome at managing the players. She helped the situation. Thanks for the advice.

Wrong she did get a call. As a matter of fact... Nevermind you are too stupid and blind with rage. Not to mention where she stands in the player pool. You don't know what you don't know dumbass. Did your kid get called in?
I'll answer that.
NOPE

Correct. Due to the camp starting during the college cup. Most of the best players in the pool are still playing...
