US Women’s soccer team kneels and wears BLM gear to affirm human decency

[blackascoal]

The team donned jackets with the words Black Lives Matter emblazoned on team in a friendly match in the Netherlands on Friday.

Several of the players also took a knee during the playing of the National Anthem before the match to protest US racial injustice and police brutality, CNN reported.

We wear Black Lives Matter to affirm human decency, posted by player Alex Morgan before the match.

We love our country and it is A true honor to represent America. It is also our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms that our country was founded on extend to everyone.

We protest against the racist infrastructures that do not provide for equal opportunity for black and brown to fulfill their dreams, including playing on this team.

Didn't they lose a friendly to a high school boy's team?

They've been arrogant, virtue-signaling nitwits high on their undeserved celebrity for awhile now.

They'd have taken a knee for the fuhrer if that were the fashion.

Utterly useless.

They have no case....it is whites who are under represented in sports.

Because whites were discriminated against, huh?

i am not sure we have any racist infrastructures that do not provide equal opportunity in the public sector. if any of these gals know of any, and can prove it, they need to turn whoever is doing it in for breaking the law. what year do these clowns think it is that discrimination in the public sector is not illegal? the main impediment to all people right now, of all colors, is poverty and especially of being born into poverty. poor white people, and their kids, are just as discriminated against as any other race. Obama's kids are way less likely to turn to crime than a poor white kid born in poverty in a rundown trailer park.

MLK would agree with you, and roll his eyes at these little hands-free princesses.

The moment in the spotlight people will best remember about them is when they lost their little tantrum lawsuit against the organization that made them rich & famous.

Kappys without the cool fro, & an absolute disgrace to a great sport.

So, what's everyone's guess on where they score?

Quite obviously there are legions of Americans who see the world much differently than you do, and the divide is so vast that it’s not even worth debating, so nothing is asked of you, they protest and work for change in the manner they see fit for themselves.

don't get me wrong, I support BLM and i believe most police forces have racist or bigoted officers that need to be kicked out, and training and procedures need to be reformed in general. i believe there is systemic injustice in police and judicial systems through out the country, but it is more economic based, than race based.

but to say black people have unequal access and unequal civil rights in this country is bullshit. we have passed laws that confirm their equal rights, both at the federal and state level, and if they actually know anybody being denied, they should turn it in and quit bitching about it.

Maybe you’re new to MLK, but he would be doing exactly what they are doing and they would be a welcome part of King’smovement.

Looking at pics it appears that 6 out of 23 players are POC or 26%.

The adult white population is 63% white so equity would be 37%.

This is fine with me...I want the team picked by competence not by genetics, POC are able to compete obviously because many are on the team.
