On the news someone was wondering if they will go to the White House. Are they invited?
This is your mind on drugs!
I am not “very proud” of these two players who dropped the American flag then walked on it. Hard to believe it was an accident considering past statements.

Congrats to the ladies. From what I can tell this is their fourth championship and second in a row. Just don't recall any of them having the media coverage this one has. In fact I think there was very little. Don't guess it has anything to do with the flag stomping, anti Trump rhetoric would it? Just a guess. That is probably the same reason it is here.

Here is the video from Fox. There is no evidence that anyone walked on the flag and I fail to find any sinister plot.

That’s the same video in the url I posted above, and I guess the response from the viewer is in the eye of the beholder. To me, the player is first dragging the flag around the field, then drops it on the field and they shuffle around on it until someone with some sense comes and snatches it out from under them. I don’t give a damn about soccer, but I do care about our national symbol. If they meant no disrespect, I would have expected an excuse or explanation by now. Their silence speaks for them. F’ ‘em (figuratively).

Rapinoe clearly shoves the flag aside it's dropped on the ground and she shuffles her feet across the flag before some decent person was able to snatch it away before this arrogant miscreant did more damage by showing her disrespect. I call her arrogant because she came out and stated she would not visit the white house before they had even won the title. Frankly I would be disappointed in Trump if he allowed a disgusting person like her on the White House grounds. She's all about herself look at her like a soccer Kaepernick. Nothing more just another left-wing anarchist. Folks like her really excite the Trump haters and the media.

After reviewing it again, I have to say your above statement is correctresponse from the viewer is in the eye of the beholder

A different take on why U.S. Women’s Soccer has flourished and our men’s team has not. As a non-follower of soccer, I found the analysis interesting. It also helps to explain the poor fan interest and subsequent disparity in pay.

It's too slow and boring. They need to make the field smaller and cut the time of play in half....
My son played soccer his soph year in HS (we made him sit out a year in football because of a disagreement with the coaching staff). It was terrible. You are lucky to see a handful of plays with as much excitement as an average football play. And the off sides calls are ridiculous.
Baby bird was fun to watch in football. Second team all state his senior year and was #10 in the state in tackles at the end of regular season. And his primary sport was wrestling.
But good on the gals for winning. Regardless of your political views, to become an elite athlete is the result of hard work and discipline.
