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.

Rapinoe was on her feet for both friendlies vs Canada. The message was sent and recieved

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.

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!

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.

It sucks for the girls. Why would you put our top talent in that age group in that position? Between UCLA and Stanford alone you have 9 players in the pool! How could they expect them to come straight from an intense 3 days of soccer and go right into a tournament? Some of these kids have played 2000+ minutes and need a break.

I know that my player is skipping it. She has to get some rest. She has been playing hurt all season.

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...

Rest is good. College soccer is way too short with too many games played in too small of a window. Add classes, strength coaches, training room, video and travel to it and I’m amazed more injuries don’t alter teams seasons. US Soccer seems to continue to operate in a vacuum from DA to training centers to youth and senior national teams even more now in NWSL. I could maybe understand it if like Syracuse, wake forest , Idaho and Irvine made the final four and none of those players were in the pool. But hopefully at least your coaching staff has the ear of maybe someone in involved.

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

Sounds a hell of a lot like you are bitter cuz the best CB in the country didn’t get a call. This camp will set the roster for the u 20 World Cup and no DD. Trajedy

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

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 do realize that they don't come out for the anthem? Your posts are getting dumber and dumber.
 
Dos Equis said:
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.

This is the silliest tripe that you have ever posted. Glad to see we are back on opposite sides of the fence. You on the stupid side.
 
Dos Equis said:
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.

The majority? More fake news!!

The people running the show aren't from the US. Sort of like the White House.
