Had to google it since no one noticed her at the actual Olympics…..11th place finish. Do they play the anthem for you with that type of finish?
Not the National Anthem, but Sad Trombone.

She finished third at the U.S. Olympic trials. I’d say finishing 11th overall at the Olympics is probably exceeding expectations at this point.Had to google it since no one noticed her at the actual Olympics…..11th place finish. Do they play the anthem for you with that type of finish?

Let me guess, you think that has been a positive?And without this thread...Id guess many on this board would not have heard of her.
Nowhere did I claim that in my post.Let me guess, you think that has been a positive?
Hate to break to to you….but the optics weren’t good.Nowhere did I claim that in my post.
My point was...without this thread or social media trying to mock this person...she probably wouldn't have gotten the publicity she did at all. She would have been a footnote.

Without turning her back there wouldnt be a thread.sho nuff said:And without this thread...Id guess many on this board would not have heard of her.
Ra-pee-noe accused of bullying by Hope Solo regarding flag, denies allegations.

Yeah, her and Lloyd are at the end of their run as far as age goes. I don't think it has as much to do with politics as it does age, but that they're talking about a bit of dissent and bullying is indeed of note, so I figured I'd post.Meg is getting a little long in the tooth so it might be a good time to retire.
i guess it’s kinda crappy to dump on someone for their personal decisions, but Hope did marry Jerramy Stevens.Ra-pee-noe accused of bullying by Hope Solo regarding flag, denies allegations.

She’s defied all sorts of norms and public pressure to speak out for justice and what she believes in. I admire that.Why is that?
Oh, Hope Solo is notorious for sort of being a troublemaker. That said, her opinion, even in context of her past transgressions, rings really true. We're American and each individual has the right to protest or not protest the national anthem. To bully somebody into a sign of team unity for a cause one doesn't want to adopt is a bad look.i guess it’s kinda crappy to dump on someone for their personal decisions, but Hope did marry Jerramy Stevens.

Did you hand over the keys on vacation to a thoughtless and reflexive lefty? Seems you have. Or is your daughter driving the train?She’s defied all sorts of norms and public pressure to speak out for justice and what she believes in. I admire that.
She a comic-commie. She goes to commie cons.To me, she's a thankless cartoon of a person.
Lol come on rock. You shouldn’t use the word “thoughtless.” Not excellent.Did you hand over the keys on vacation to a thoughtless and reflexive lefty? Seems you have. Or is your daughter driving the train?

Maybe in your book being an openly gay liberal female athlete makes her a “sacred cow.” But she’s received plenty of hate mail and death threats as a result of publicly stating her sexual preference.Not really, first of all she was a star player not a bottom of the roster type, second she is a gay, liberal female athlete. Kind of makes her a sacred cow.
The ones who we should admire are the fringe players who try to do the same thing. But nobody cares about them.
Rapinoe doesn't seem like a particularly likable person, but Solo seems like a genuinely poor person in general (that is me putting it as nicely as I can). Hard to buy anything Solo says about pretty much anything.
Sorry, man. Accept my apology?Lol come on rock. You shouldn’t use the word “thoughtless.” Not excellent.
I don’t know what all is wrapped up in the “speak out for justice” in your post but if it’s about equal pay for the USWNT then she’s really wrong on that topic. We’ve discussed it a lot in the FFA threads. Anything else you are referring to I don’t have a comment on as I’m not well versed in it.She’s defied all sorts of norms and public pressure to speak out for justice and what she believes in.
