It’s up to each side to convince the other that their way is better. Violence is one way of doing this. Education and dialogue is another.

“The problem is these retards don’t want to work with us, not the other way around.”

People like yourself, who treat Trump supporters as if they suffer from some genetic incurable disease, are not helping. In a way, you are as closed minded as some of the people you criticize. Instead of trying to solve the problem, you consider it to be some divine punishment about which we cannot do anything. Thus,…

Have you seen the life of great luxury, which you probably lead,* in comparison to pretty much the entire world?

Find me a club or country that will pay JK what the USSoccer paid him. USSoccer pays well. There are coaches “worth a damn” that get paid less than JK did.

Money. You get to live in the States. Extremely good chance of getting to the WC.

Pretty lame, Sobchak. Honestly, it’s depressing that someone can like the Coen bros and be as lame as you.

I voted for Hillary.

Obviously, we can be concerned about multiple things.

I agree that there is a negative effect caused by Trump, but I am not sure how significant it is. Face it, the areas that voted Hillary will continue to be tolerant and inclusive, and the areas that voted Trump will perhaps be a bit emboldened (luckily they live in mostly white areas so they have less chance of…

Some anecdotes about people reporting abuse on Twitter does not necessarily equal a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry. I need to see more data. That there is bullying in our schools is not news.

That’s anecdotal evidence (which is still alarming, but needs to be taken in context).

‘Spade a spad’ I need better proofreading.

Do you have a source?

It’s fairly simple. Muslim extremists killed at least 63 people on American soil this year in the name of their religion. Donald Trump called a spade a spad, identifying the problem for what it is, although he did not offer a good solution. Hillary was not willing to identify the problem (“radical Jihadism”?! is there…

The rules don’t prevent countries like Algeria from fielding teams where most of the players were born and grew up in France. While French is a national language in Algeria, it is odd that most of the players don’t know Arabic. It’s also depressing that domestic players have almost no chance to play for their country.

They’re talking, and it’s pretty much all they are doing.

Not asking for blind love or lack of criticism. I just see Rapinoe as halfassing her protest. Either take full measures and protest the national anthem and boycott the national team, or half ass it and risk being called a hypocrite and an opportunist. If she wanted to get some sort of political message through, she…

best... they weren’t even top four at the Olympics

The entire point of international soccer is nationalism, seeing which country can put out a better team. I agree that it’s ridiculous in a democracy to have patriotism tests to determine who is worthy to be on the national team. Rapinoe has the right to protest. I have the right to call her a hypocrite.
