Only one USWNT player didn’t kneel ahead of Olympic soccer match

Fucking Yawn.
At all of it. I’m sorry but performance art doesn’t really move the needle for me. Kneeling is easy. Posting on your Insta is easy. Crying on Twitter is easy.
Active participation in our legislative process takes work….CK took a knee and got paid, and, at the end of the day, it’s about money, honey.
If it weren’t, kneeling in front of TV cameras would be replaced by meeting with your congressional representatives. -
Ratings are in the toilet but I don't think it has anything to do with wokeness
Its a year late
No crowds is beyond old by now
It's the Olympics and they ain't what they used to be
I don't care enough to find anything on the 79 channels being used
About half the audience of Rio
Quite honestly the Olympics haven't been the same since the Soviet Union died. We're supposed to root for China now
The Cold War made the Olympics great -
If it is about wokeness, I'm sure growing up wealthy enough to afford select soccer was real tough on the players in the women's team. I'm so proud of them for overcoming their hardship and lack of fortune in life. What a brave and bold stand. Kudos.

Doesn't move the needle for me either. But it does cause me to root against the kneelers. Plus toss in the whining about the pay differential. You get paid what you earn and women's soccer makes a fraction of what men's soccer makes. Just like I don't whine that women gymnasts make more money than male gymnasts or ice skaters.thechatch said:Fucking Yawn.

Lucky Paris in 2024. Move it to Wuhan on a permanent basis and boycott it.JoeEDangerously said:What are the Olympics?

Female models make something like five times what male models make. No one would argue why.WestlinnDuck said:

It’s the easiest sport in the world to get a pick up game going, but in America, it’s absolutely a money sport. Very few underprivileged kids are playing soccer unless they were found by a select program at a very young age.hardhat said:If it is about wokeness, I'm sure growing up wealthy enough to afford select soccer was real tough on the players in the women's team.

I personally can’t recall one high school soccer player that came from a truly poor family. -
It really is about wokeness though. I don’t give a fuck about spoiled privileged athletes pretending to care about shit. I’m not sure I could care any less about sports anymore. I used to fucking love the Olympics, but I haven’t watched a second of it this year. Now I just laugh when I see articles about our woke fucktards losing. SAD!
