Hope Solo Says Rapinoe Would 'Almost Bully' Team Into Kneeling For Anthem

Hope Solo says Megan Rapinoe was so passionate about getting their squad to kneel, she would "almost bully" her teammates into joining the demonstration

Rapinoe has become such a polarizing figure. I am not surprised Rapinoe's former teammates are ripping her. This isn't about activism, it is about $$$. How many of these damn Subway ads are they going to play with Rapinoe, who actually adds nothing to that actual commercial. You have Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, Serena Williams, Charles Barkley, and... Rapinoe??? Most people do not know who Rapinoe is outside of her "activism." They didn't win Gold in 2020 or 2016. So why so much attention?
 
Not sure Hope Solo has much credibility these days considering here assault charges and comments in the 2016 Olympics that ultimately caused her to be fired.
 
yeah, i'd wait for some confirmation other than from Hope. she's a weird one.
 
Do they play anthems before Olympic soccer games? I didn't know that.

Huh. Didn't know that.
Must be awkward when there's people from a dozen countries competing all at once.
 

I dont think that people who take a dump all over the nation and flag, due to how "oppressive" the USA is, really grasp that they're just making complete fools of themselves on the world stage.

Can you imagine? The US has its share of problems and more, for sure, but is one of the most tolerant and open societies on earth.

These vapid athletes want so badly to be profound. To be pioneers of "civil rights". To be relevant and important to something other than their sport.

SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE.
 
And yet, here you are on an internet political forum, making your opinions known. Why are you not following your own advice and shutting up and doing whatever you do for a living?
 
Playing the national anthem and being patriotic is political. Theres no way around that.
 

Shut up and do your TPS reports, office drone. Nobody wants your opinion on what Rapinoe says, does, or believes.

Keyboard uber-patriots are hilarious. I agree.
 
'woke' and bullying. Doesn't seem like it's possible to separate the two, as they being the former almost always causes you to do the latter.

"Man I wish athletes would just stay out of politics, why do they think they are experts?" Mother****er you're an accountant for a company that sells mattresses who the **** asked you?
 
Almost bullying, AKA not bullying.

I go to games and concerts to unwind and have a good time. I don't need these idiots telling me how I should think.
 
She certainly does not belong in this commercial with those greats.
 

The women's team is old and slow. Far to political and arrogant.
It needs to disbanded and started anew.

I don't need you telling me how I should think.
 
Deuce said:
When did anyone tell either of you how to think?

An athlete expressing their opinion isn't "telling you how to think" any more than Mongidig expressing his opinion.

I have no idea what you're trying to get at here, so I'll just tell you to have a nice night.
