Oh yeah, he’s getting a big time pass for this one. No one is mentioning how douchey he is; no one is saying it’s an embarrassment; and no one is writing negative articles about it. There was even a supportive hashtag for him that was trending for hours called #LOVE4GabbyUSA

I think the commenters are calling him a piece of shit, but the writers can’t straight up come out and call him a rapist.

Doh! I was having a blonde moment.

The Americans hold a 47-3-6 record against Canada, and have not lost to them since March 2001 in the Algarve Cup.

Why are you attacking Chritter for saying boobs? For real? I don’t see anything wrong with that...It seems really sex negative to take that as an offensive or patriarchal response.

Nice, though you could prob could find slightly more articles/examples in the case of practioners of Islam

Practioners of Buddhism and Hinduism aren’t known for attacking civilian population centers so I guess there’s one reason...

Oil. That is the obsession with the lands of Islam.

Well, no. We’ve sponsored coups all over the world, but I don’t think we sprung this one. The vast vast majority of those had nothing to do with Islam, so that part’s up to you.
