Good God.

It's astounding to watch people froth at the mouth at Rapinoe. My take: she's really not that political. She wants to get paid more, yeah, and her and the rest of the American WNT have some points on that issue. Like most gays (and minorities) in general, she doesn't like Trump much, and if you don't understand why, I would urge you to hit the wayback button on youtube and watch any of a hundred statements and actions over the Donald's term (and during his campaign) that might have caused that dislike.

It's not like it's a mystery. It's like, his brand, people.

If you still don't get it, I can't help you much. And the Donald is the one who started this whole ruckus with his ill-advised tweet demanding that she not insult the flag because she had annoyed him, apparently, by telling some reporter that she wouldn't go to the White House if invited anyhow...which is not just her right, but it's also kind of understandable, considering the guy who occupies it has not exactly been besties with the LGBTQ community...again, which is part of Brand Trump.

She just...said what she thought about that. And people act like she's Malcolm X. Lordy.

What she really is, is a durn good soccer player who is clutch, clutch, clutch, has ice-water in her veins, and took home both the Golden Boot (leading scorer) and Golden Ball (best player) en route to leading the USWNT to a second straight World Cup. She's also going to win the Ballon D'Or this year for the best soccer player in the world - which, unlike an ESPY, is actually a huge deal - unless something shocking happens.

Oh, and, yeah, she's outspoken. Kinda how it goes. People who are as good as her tend to be.

Uh...that was a backup goalkeeper who as far as I know didn't log a minute in that tournament, not Rapinoe.

Also, I think Harris was feeling it and speaking lyrically and in way-too-exited firehose mode...and well, it would seem, moronically, if that's a real quote and not some Brightbart overdub. I seriously doubt the backup goalkeeper of a woman's soccer team is planning on going door-to-door de-populating the city, whatever. We could ask for clarification, sure, but I think we can chalk that one up to "not-so-bright young person getting over-enthused and saying really dumb stuff."

If I was Jill Ellis or high enough up the USSF pyramid to say something, that's one where I'd probably go: "Hey, I know you're feeling it and all, but you seriously need to tone it down a few notches, there, champ, 'cause that didn't sound real good."

So no, not OK, but I would guess not an actual threat, either. Oh, and it wasn't Rapinoe.

First off don't talk about how great this country is and the freedoms it supports when the person your defending cares nothing about this country to the point she can't respect the flag. First you right people do have the freedom of expression and speech but people dont have the right to lie. Big difference there bud. The only time when you can't scream fire in a crowded room is when there is no fire. Also this President has been attacked along with his supporters from day 1. He has been called everything under the sun that ends in ism, ist or phob. It's funny though he was never these things when he was a Democrat supporter. So when you are attacked relentlessly with NO proof it gets to you and you go off on Twitter and other platform but I defy you to prove where she had any "understandable" reason to act that way. You can give links to your videos and/or speeches.

The problem is the truth is not what people just "believe it is." Factuality determines truth. There are plenty of on-line tools to test the proposition of who is telling the truth and who is not. Fact-checking - hard, critical objectivity - is actually a serious industry, and the people who engage in it tend to be these almost robotic types without much personality who just plain...do not get the muck like the rest of us. Call one of them an "egghead", for instance, and they will whip out a tape measure and tell you that their skulls are properly proportional for their weight and bone structure.

One of the best tools this culture has created is PolitiFact, which actually won a Pulitzer in 2009 for their fact-checking, and it's used (and often hated, when they call somebody out) by members of both parties as kind of a baseline. It was started by a crew from the Tampa Bay Times and is now a nonprofit owned by the Poynter Institute, and if you check them out on MediaBiasFactCheck.com - another really good tool that strives to objectively measure media outlets for both bias and factuality - you'll see that while the TBT has a slight "left-center" bias it gets top marks for its factual reporting.

This is PolitiFact's review of fact-checks done on Donald Trump. It...isn't pretty.
https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/

They spare nobody. They tracked Obama his entire term too, and busted him with "mostly false" and below statements no less than 150 times himself.
https://www.politifact.com/personalities/barack-obama/

Nancy Pelosi does even worse in their tracking by the percentages:
https://www.politifact.com/personalities/nancy-pelosi/

Regardless, there are actual tools out there for those who care to cut through the noise (coming from both sides), FWIW.

Dude, now you're being nothing short of ridiculous, or deliberately blind. Trump is the most classless president in the history of the office - he prides himself on it, refusing to act presidential is part of Brand Trump, and his base loves that about him - and he started this tweetstorm to begin with.

And you expect grace and class from a random athlete that the Donald attacked to begin with that you do not demand from the president?

All the Donald had to say was...nothing. Instead he provoked Rapinoe - on purpose - and his base obligingly turned the target of his tweet into an "Un-American" villain because the outspoken Alpha lesbian dared to talk back when the Commander In Tweet got mean thumbs again. It'd be kinda like one of us screaming at a dude to watch where he was standing after I roll down my car window and randomly lob a molotov cocktail out the window out on the sidewalk, and calling the dude a jerk when he gave us the bird.

I don't know if you've met a lot of outspoken Alpha lesbians - it would seem not - but they do talk back. If you don't wanna hear what they think, seriously, do not ask. Because they will tell you.

If you have a problem with that, I suppose you could step up and put them in their place and all. Go for it, Big Man. I'll be right here, watching. With popcorn. ;)

This board never fails to amaze me. I criticize an arrogant, self absorbed soccer player that has zero respect for this country or it's flag and half of Tigernet rushes to her defense. Are these Really the same people I call "My Clemson Family"?

btw... I also think Trump is a classless #########. I'm not sure why you assume I'm a supporter just because i believe this young lady is an embarrassment. i didnt vote for him but I will this time. Better to support a loudmouth dope than people that obviously hate this country. i swear this is "bizzaro" world, but I will continue to voice my opinion.

Maybe if this was dj Swearinger, you'd see my point. Same thuggish, lewd and unacceptable behavior. He was punk, Trump is a punk and Ms. Rapinoe is a punk. I call it like I see it.

When they stand on a stage instead of my Tigers, and win the award we all new our guys wouldn't receive, and hear a message that is the exact opposite of what Dabo would say, it does belong on the Tiger board...i don't have anything negative to think about what Carli Lloyd had to say, even though as she speaks for her team, she can't be as humble and gracious as Dabo...but Rapinoe had to step up to the mike and open her mouth just because people now expect it of her.

So she flashed me the ##### i didn't want to see and told us she was restraining herself from dropping the f-bomb on live TV, and we should all appreciate her good judgment, because this is the first virgin mike she hasn't defiled since their victory.

I saw more of her ##### that night than i did of my wife's. I prefer my wife's. Do the discrimination police have a pejorative name for me if i'd rather not see Megan's #####?

I'm asking some of you well-reasoned, calm logical types who have compromised your personal values in order to tolerate bad behavior but would never condescend to behave so poorly yourself.

How much TV do you expect me to turn off without complaint? The only reason i paid attention to the ESPYs was because the Tigers were up for the award. Next year i won't even watch the video clips of the speeches.

This thread should have been put to sleep, but you just had to come out of hibernation to throw rocks at people you don't know anything about.

So many fallacies packed into one ignorant attempted put-down....

'Most of the people who are outraged at the people outraged by Rapinoe's peaceful protest are living in their mom's basement and would defend any outrageous action taken by a generational peer because of their own irrelevant lives and attempt to live vicariously through an alpha [fe}male.'

See how easy it is to 1) be ignorant of the person I'm talking about 2) project immaturity or hypocrisy to someone with values different from mine and 3) pretend some earned solidarity with the person being "unjustly" attacked?

I feel sullied even responding to this, but I don't want you sniggering and building confidence in your mom's basement for the next 12 months while you get up the courage to post again.

Monuments: I have never supported the presence of Confederate monuments in the public square, because monuments are for the whole community. I DO support the presence of monuments of people who were Confederates in places where they are educational or cultural, or their other accomplishments or contributions make them worthy of recognition for something other than being wrong on a grand scale.

Anyone who takes down a monument should be required to write an essay on the research they have done that convinces them that the positive contributions of an honored individual are now unworthy, and why those contributions that were formerly recognized as beneficial now are deemed otherwise. In other words, Protest should not be done out of ignorance. Outrageous behavior done by an ignorant person does not garner my respect.

Flag: The rebel flag should never have been on our state house (referring to SC) anytime in the 20th-21st century. There are ways of honoring the amazing but wrong people who died or otherwise suffered during the Civil War without insulting every black person in the state. I used to be a reactionary, like you. My opinion on this totally reversed when as a young man i heard a calm-voiced black elected representative explain what it meant to come to work under that flag every day.

By the way, you probably agree with me about monuments. If you appreciate the cultural heritage and appropriate monuments of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, or even King George or William Pitt, you agree with me. But to see those monuments, you have to get out of Birmingham and your mom's basement.

But all your fallacies aside, if you were to ask me the actual question, "Who do you trust more: Megan Rapinoe or Robt E Lee?" I would answer, Megan Rapinoe--with my soccer team. Or my #### website (if i had one). For all else--with my wife, daughters, all my African American friends--and their futures, our educational system, our culture, our economic prosperity, and yes, our flag--I would trust Robt E Lee more than Rapinoe. And if you have studied the man's life, that's pretty much a no-brainer.

But studying isn't your strong suit. I understand. You're welcome to create a pejorative name for me, though that would require you to post more quickly than next year....
