Is it bad for me not to pull for the US women’s soccer team to win the World Cup?
Jul 7, 2019, 8:03 AM
|

I know nothing about soccer nor do I care. I just don’t like the players. they come across as arrogate and spoiled.
I know I am supposed to pull for them just don’t fell they represent the US in a positive way.

Yes it is. If this team were men, no one would be complaining about them. They are a juggernaut in the sport and we should absolutely be behind them.

Que? No. It fits well. Hence, snowflakes. You seem offended by the term. Personally, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I've diagnosed you as having a strong need to have others "offended" by the term. Thus the repetition. That's all. Keep it up.

No, I am not trying to offend them. That would mean I cared enough. Also, it's not directed at any one person. I am mocking how some are so offended by something so minor and how extreme they are getting. Rooting against our country due to one chick.
Extreme. Hence, snowflakes. I think it's a fair term. It's not even a harsh term. It's pretty soft.

Are you a woman? And I have no problem at all with women

[ in reply to Re: Is it bad for me not to pull for the US women’s soccer team to win the World Cup? ] |

except when they think the universe is okay with all women as lesbians. Look, I once loved a lesbian, but there came a time where she needed to decide - chicks or d!cks - she wanted both for the rest of her life and felt that was okay and made common sense.
She's a little older know. Still hot as a an August day in Arizona, and FINALLY she's starting to get it: life as we know it will fail (and really make our Lord angry) if boys and girls continue screwing around with each other as if it's some sort of God-given right to choose. Forget that, and get right!!
Amen.

Jul 7, 2019, 8:11 AM

America as much as they represent a conglomeration of causes.
We have a person playing for the team who won't even recognize the US anthem while playing on the US National team. Something isn't right about that.
She isn't representing the US. She's representing herself, her cause and the pretend country of Utopia, which is the only place she feels is worthy of her support.

None are doing what she is doing, so there is that. None have said they feel the same. I think they respect her freedom to do what she wants and they will do what they want. They're a team and just playing soccer when it comes down to it.

It absolutely is your right to not support them as it is their right to do what they do and say. Shame that we only see to support people who agree with how we think rather than support the ideal we can all think for ourselves.
But I'm guessing this is the same crowd who won't watch the nfl because of kneeling or buying Nike shoes. So probably doesn't matter what anyone says.

I'm going to pull for the USA teams that shut up, play their sports and represent out country with class. Politics ruins sports. It's way more than one person on that team. This didn't start a week ago. I'm not pulling against them... just don't care.

It's not about success. It's about viewership and money. Most of the world could care less about women's soccer. As the sport grows over the years, so will the money.

I did. I won't pretend to be an expert on how FIFA splits up their funds but I imagine it's similar to how conferences share money in college football. The men are part of a sport that generates ridiculous money all around the world. The women are part of a sport that does not. Our US women's team is probably in a similar situation to Clemson and Florida state in the ACC. We are the cash cows and we have to support everyone else.

On one hand you are saying you know nothing about soccer and on the other you are claiming you know the players well enough to say they are arrogant. Sounds to me like you saw a headline on facebook and are making a generalization.

I am not a fan of what the players have been saying, but I cant in good conscious cheer against the US. The loud opinions of a couple players aren’t going to turn me against my own country. It’s a sad sign of the times that fans now require sports figures to be in line with their political beliefs in order to root for them.
Also, not to burst any bubbles, but a huge swath of our players didn’t make the trip to the White House this past year because they don’t like Trump...so you may want to re-consider whether or not you should root for Clemson, since you’re setting the requirement that players you cheer for have the same political beliefs as you.

Well said brother! I don’t subscribe to the opinions of all the players, but I am fiercely proud and was happy to serve a great country that allows everyone to express their beliefs. Those of you choosing to pull against them, that is your right as well.
And that’s the tea! Go USA!!!!

the women’s soccer team because you don’t think they care about or respect America or represent us in a way that you would feel proud of...are the same people who would shame you about blindly believing in everything American just because it’s American. Hypocrites.
I’ll neither pull for nor against them but I haven’t watched. They’ve made a pretty clear statement that they are playing for their America. All I hear from them is complaints on compensation, political partisanship, identity politics and questionable sportsmanship. All of which are distractions they chose to put before their remarkable play and all of which bore me.
But best of luck to them.

I just watch for the soccer. I wasnt interested in their issues. Had people not complained so much about them I wouldnt have even noticed their supposed issues, other than the pay talk. I dont know anything about their issues, nor do I care. Its just a game. One thing that has happened, is that the chick who everyone hates, is getting way more attention than she ever deserved. I dont even know what she is protesting. Who cares?

Also you’re right. Some people can filter out the noise.

Good for them. Some of us can’t help but see the other nonsense that the players choose to put in front of us.
Rapinoe is protesting Trump because Trump. She thinks Trump is a horrible racist and she has no tolerance for horrible racists. On the other hand, her brother joined a white supremacist gang in prison. But that was different. Love that bro. He’s just misunderstood.
Also, she’s made public comments about how most of the team wouldn’t visit the White House. This is unbelievably presumptuous and again puts her teammates in a bind because if they want to visit the White House (if they win the World Cup), now they know it’s putting egg on their teammate’s face. I doubt she cares though.

She definitely found a way to get attention. I block her opinions out though. Her opinions are meaningless. If anything she helps Trump. Trump supporters should love her. Kind of like when AOC says nutty stuff. Anyway, Rapinoe is just one person. I dont think anyone outside of the US even knows she is protesting something. I bet barely anyone here knows who she is or what she is protesting. I really don't. In a few months, you will probably never see her again.

Since when is America so bad? We have more freedom than any country. And people are still trying anything to get here from other countries. If it’s so bad why are people willing to die to get here legally or illegally? I say we are all spoiled and just want more and nothing is good enough and with this attitude nothing ever will be..... oh yeah, and go USA soccer!

In a word, YES!
I have feelings similar to yours but I have to pull for a team representing our country.
It would take something much more serious than our pettiness to pull against The USA!

When you interject politics into entertainment, your pissing

Off 50% of your audience. I watch sports to get entertained, not lectured. Screw them and any entertainer that wants to inject their view into my down time. I’ll find something else to do.

I know nothing about soccer nor do I care. I just don’t like the players. they come across as arrogate and spoiled.
I know I am supposed to pull for them just don’t fell they represent the US in a positive way.
You mean they don't represent Trump is a positive way...

Imo, it's wrong to put politics above patriotism.
I hate kneeling during our National Anthem but my patriotic hearts says American is more important than some loser who is ignorant of history isn't about to come between me and my country.
If you let this ignorant slut dictate the priorities of your heart you submit yourself to the exact same ignorance which she suffers. I therefor, have no respect for either of you.

should be a mindless, patriotic automaton. We do NOT have room for uppity feminists and rugged individualism in this country. Those aren’t values of the US of A.

They do not represent America. Their words and actions made it very clear. I didn't pull against them,
but I didn't watch.

People can "pull for" whomever they want.
Jul 8, 2019, 9:10 AM

I always find it humorous when people debate who should "pull for" whom, as if it makes any difference whatsoever.
Personally, I have not watched the World Cup as I'm not interested in soccer. But I don't care about the political opinions of athletes, so any opinions they have wouldn't affect me. I watch sports for the entertainment of it. Same principle for watching movies/TV...don't care about the politics of the actors. Will watch if I'm entertained by it.
