US women's soccer team wears Black Lives Matter jackets and kneels for national anthem before game in Europe
[Washington Examiner] The United States women’s national soccer team took part in a social justice protest during pregame warmups in the Netherlands on Friday.

The team walked out of the locker room wearing outfits emblazoned with "Black Lives Matter," and almost every member of the team took a knee for the national anthem, according to ESPN.

"We love our country, and it is a true honor to represent America," the team said in a statement before the game. "It is also our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms that our country was founded on extend to everyone."

#1 IF the US Taxpayers are assisting this team in anyway it should be withdrawn immediately.

#4 Take their passports and drop them in Gitmo. Anyone who kneels for the anthem should be considered to be renouncing their citizenship.

#5 Lucky for them they are world champions. For their sake, they had better hope their good fortune continues.

#6 "It is also our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms that our country was founded on extend to everyone."

"America was founded on racism and slavery. Join us, Pampered Liberals Of Whiteness, as we demand everyone else do what we did."

Ha! First I heard about it!

Not sure what is funnier, nobody watched the game or nobody watched ESPN.

#7 Is this the women's soccer team that was beaten soundly by a team of 15 year old boys?

#11 @ #7 - I didn't hear about that. But there are some tough cookies on that US Women's National Team, so I'd fear for the safety of the 15-year-old boys.

#12 @ #10 - Sprinkled with some urine as those piglet fans did to our US boys one year (or every year, I don't know).
