We already discussed this. Science is science. Gays rule. @Ashlyn_Harris @alikrieger https://t.co/Q80L65O0OZ— Megan Rapinoe (@mPinoe) July 7, 2019
I saw a tweet prior to the semi-finals that simply said: "Retweet this if you are rooting against the American's women's soccer team". It was approaching two million retweets. That's quite a few people considering the active people on twitter is probably a sliver of the actual population. It started with the excessive celebration in their 13-0 win in the first round, and then continued with the Rapinoe attacks on Trump, and then finished with Rapinoe telling the world that you cannot win women's soccer without the gays.
But I will say that it's become sad when sports has to become about politics, pretty much day in and day out. It's nearly impossible to find a sport or a team that doesn't have idiots who believe that the country needs to hear about their political opinions. This is part of the reason I watch a lot of hockey. Most of the players are not even American, and the true multicultural nature of that sport does not lend itself to becoming active in American politics.
Not sure how this all ends. A washed up football player is basically running Nike. I have read recent comments that the NBA offseason has become more exciting than the actual season. You seem to have a liberal conservative split even on which teams to root for. I don't know folks. I miss the days when Bud Grant used to have his players actually "practice" standing for the National Anthem.

In 2017, when the women’s team wore special team jerseys celebrating Gay Pride Month for two international matches, Hinkle declined to play. She said on the “700 Club,” “I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn’t my job to wear this jersey. I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.”
Soon after the interview, when her North Carolina Courage team played against the Portland Thorns in Portland, Oregon, fans waving rainbow flags booed Hinkle. The Washington Times noted, “Hinkle has not played for the national team since. After she was left off the World Cup roster, coach Jill Ellis told reporters that the decision was ‘solely based on soccer,’ an explanation greeted with widespread skepticism.” The Times added, “Ellis, who is married to a woman, did call up Hinkle last year for the Tournament of Nations but then cut her and one other player a few days later, fueling speculation that she was invited only to stave off a religious freedom lawsuit.”
Questions have been about Hinkle's absence: John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in Colorado Springs, Colorado, told The Washington Times:
You do have a very activist team. It’s very much a part of the program. And if we were talking about just any player, it wouldn’t be really clear, but just because of her abilities — Jaelene Hinkle is a heck of a player — it makes it that much more suspect … We know that increasingly there is going to have to be conformity on your viewpoint to be able to participate. I think that’s inevitable. We use the phrase “the theology of being fired” — in this case, it’s the theology of being cut.

The good news it that she set soccer in America back to the niche sport it was 15 to 20 years ago.
