They've built an entirely separate reality around themselves, like a pearl around a bit of sand.

But does grandma think she should get paid the same as the men's team?

Absolutely not, because they aren't working hard enough.
Never mind that woman's soccer may as well be the fuckin' Thunderdome compared to men's soccer.

These flag fondlers really have a problem distinguishing a symbol from what it symbolizes.

And the the A Gay kissed her girlfriend and yelled out “praise be to Allah!” as they got into their Liberal Prius car and drove to the abortion clinic to celebrate their victory.

I love Kelley and this drives me insane. I wonder where in this narrative they are going to fit the whole "kissed her girlfriend on the sideline after the game and came out" portion of her world cup story. She obviously aligns much more with her teammates' world views than she does with ultra conservatives.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Also, this is the dumbest forced controversy. It’s pretty clear it was a mistake during an emotional moment, not anything done out of malice or whatever. Especially since there are videos of Allie Long, the player who dropped the flag, with a US flag on her shoulders while she was on the field after the win. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzoSyWelQQG/?igshid=xecubhkiq488 (it’s the third pic/video on this post)
Yep. No one had any intent to disrespect it or damage it. It's a manufactured issue to damage people that had been critical of trump and to create the conservative hero
Absolutely! I also thing it’s a sign that they don’t have a good argument against some of the things members of that team have said or stand for, so they’re trying to pin a vague claim of them being un-American on USWNT members (despite that they all literally accepted to represent the US on an international level and on the biggest stage of women’s soccer).
For the past couple days I've been imagining a world where sports teams are selected based solely on a player's devotion to their country. Like, they could be the objectively worst player in the world, but they're the star because they wore clothes in the color and pattern of their country's flag to a game.
Another example of a victory for America being made into being all about Trump.
If you have a flag pretty much anywhere but on a flagpole it is liable to get dropped.
Uh you mean when she greeted a fan
