LOL

Not to mention that when a police officer is attacked in the course of a crime, it becomes a city-wide emergency where roads are shut down and hundreds of officers are called to deal with it. Something somewhat less than that happens when a black person is attacked in the course of a crime.

he is entitled to think its not political in the same way i am entitled to think its absolute bullshit.

US Navy had an active fighter pilot who retired in 2015 who was 54 years old. The Aussies just had a fighter pilot retire last year that was 66.

Yeah, but what about Tom Cruise?

I’d guess that footage was him in the back seat of the F/A-18. There’s no way the Navy would let a civilian do that.

I wonder what his girlfriend think about all th.... hahahahahaha, sorry couldn’t make it to the end.

Every adult that brings a glove to a game and doesn’t have a kid with them should be put on some sort of list.

I’m just going to give you a star for this comment to hopefully dig you out of the grays and let others see how tightly you clutch your pearls. 

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

See, he doesn’t support slavery.

“Listen y’all, I don’t support Nazi-ism or genocide, I just think the swastika is a neat shape and my little cousin gave me that sticker and I wanna display it.”

By going, you’re tacitly supporting his stance. He’s clearly anti-LGBTQ, so it would fly in the face of everything Rapinoe stands for. It’s the same with a lot of minority athletes; Trump only cares about POCs as long as they are serving him drinks at Mar-A-Lago. That’s why athletes that have won the Superbowl & NBA…

It’s not really her fault; some idiot asked her about it. It’s not like she “chose to take this stance” by scheduling a press conference to announce she wouldn’t go. Someone interviewing her asked her a question, and she answered the question presented to her.

People keep directly asking her. What is she supposed to say?

Because Trump is demonstrably incapable of just having a photo op.

All good points, but Rapinoe also celebrated a goal too much, so who’s really the bad one here?

That excuse doesn’t even hold water with me. He doesn’t look to see if anything happened to anyone else, he just shoved Lowry. He never looked back to see if that lady was okay, either. If he was so concerned about her that he would shove Lowry, you would think he’d at least turn around to ask if she was okay.

You’re looking at the wrong dude.

If it’s easy to understand what Lowry meant (and it is) then choosing to be fussy about the grammar is little more than a tiresome personal affectation.
