Oooh man that’s a whole other mess, that if you know enough about the American woso world (and I do lol), it’s just...smh messy. It’s a lot of conjecture and sorta gossipy, but that was the definition of “not a good look.”

It was a mess from the jump. They thought the ones facing the flag were wrong for turning their backs to Mr. DuPré, a veteran, a brave man, a distinguished soul (who is great friends with the team and encourages their protest), but they just knew those black women were up to something. Then they get corrected about…

Of course no one is surprised. Black women are hated. We’re cannon fodder for their “economic anxiety.”

Conservatives are now after Crystal Dunn and Christen Press of the USWNT after last night’s friendly against Mexico. They got literally everything wrong about the circumstances surrounding the anthem, but managed to set their targets squarely on the two black players in the starting XI. Imagine that.

I just wish this info was in the article. Anyone following this knew what was up the same day it went viral. But The Root and The Grio (and The Daily Beast, Fox News, Page Six, probably the Daily Fail and more) aren’t really doing their due diligence here. Hell, BET reported on this like 8 years ago.

Some of these folks just talk to talk. They don’t know shit. But they do know they can get easy clout for talking sideways about VP Harris.

Her mama is a liar and a scammer. This was all exposed immediately? Like really this is the story y’all are telling? The court docs are out there. I can’t say I’m surprised.

Exactly. A photo op now solves what? And, of course, she’s been to the border.

Venus:

I think Sanders was the shrewdest hire of the Biden campaign as the only person from Sen. Sanders’ orbit with any political skill behind the scenes (if you think she took bullets for Biden, then Bernie must’ve taken a limb or two), and the perfect person to continue that role for MVP, but I’m not sure what complaining…

Just needs them laser beam eyes.

This show was so good. Season 1 was great. The George Clinton episode from season 2 about killed me.

Ahh you’re a dementia truther. Good thing I never took you seriously.

That’s VP Harris to you.

Yeah the jokey dementia shit isn’t cute. I didn’t find it funny and I’m not sure why anyone at The Root did. And you’re exactly right that it deprioritizes VP Harris, but The Root never prioritized her to begin with, so no surprise by this mess. Just SOP here.

President Joe Biden is old.

They identify as black, but yes three are mixed. One player had already left for her club team and isn’t in the picture. Another player wasn’t part of the squad for the tournament but was a member of the 2019 World Cup team.

It’s so fucking basic. It’s a picture of all the Black women on the team who were present for the trophy ceremony. Black women during Black History Month. Just say something, anything, that highlights that, you know? It’s not a wrong thing to acknowledge Black people as Black. The NWSL’s tweet was better and had less…

I should note that the first tweet celebrating Christen Press’s achievement is the one fans had to beg for. Really fucked up that it wasn’t ready to go immediately by the comms person, yet the tweet about Alex Morgan’s (she’s white) similar achievement was. There’s a little more to why it almost feels like an…

These last few days have been a fucking doozy. First woso fans had to basically beg the USWNT comms person to recognize a career achievement of one of the few Black women on the team (this was after she just missed out on winning the tournament MVP—meaning she was snubbed 2 years in a row). They had no problem with…
