😂😂just one more sport that will die a slow painful death

Definitely 👍

It’s Dallas right ? Red , racist DT lovin state! No surprise!

Soccer is after all a communist sport. Who in the hell watches it. I would rather watch paint dry.

Not everybody think the SJW are clean or innocent in this play. While I appreciate their concern it seems that these boys are just as complicit in the scenario

In 2015, Justice Antonin Scalia explained why he cast the deciding vote in Johnson: 'If it were up to me, I would put in jail every sandal-wearing, scruffy-bearded weirdo who burns the American flag. But I am not king

Actually, all African descendants owe the world reparations because their ancestors created slavery and profited from it for 10,000 years. America abolished it in just 75 years. TakeAKnee and ask for forgiveness!

The flu got us out of World War 1 then they gave the women the right to vote, then the stock market fell, then it took World War II to get us out of the depression, then they sign the civil rights law and we went to War again. Shouldn't that tell you you're doing something wrong.

Boycott MLS

Check watching/supporting “professional” soccer off the list. Thank you Reggie!

Such a shameful display of their great nation. These punk kids today have zero knowledge about what their forefathers went through so they could act like spoiled babies.

It was disgusting that the players kneeled should have been booed of the field

There were “fans” in the stadium?

But they hell don’t bitch about getting their money! F-ing losers!

Reggie Cannon is a nobody running his mouth when will theses punks learn Boycott Soccer and he’s the disgraceful one

Never bite the hand that feeds you, loser!

The fans were exercising their right of freedom of expression just as the players. To call that disgustin or disgraceful is pure ignorance and a doublestandard by ReggieCannon15. MLS NationalAnthem kneel protests

Sports & Politics don’t mix. Suspend this Team 4 six months.

Finally fans with brains

I'd boo also if I were there. Luckily, I can just change a tv channel if needed. We are done with sports in this house.

kneeling during national anthem is disgusting and disgraceful

These soccer teams aren’t American anyway. Most of the players are foreigners. Fans should boycott all the teams until they are forced to fold.⚽️

Good!!!!!

Kneeling for what exactly 🙄

Freedom of speexh goes both ways

There were fans?

The boo-ers went to Kid Rock's joint to breathe on each other straight after

Without paying fans you’d be a bartender ReggieCannon15 🇺🇸

Yeah funny how freedom of speech works. You can kneel. They can boo. Seriously...people are fed up with the kneeling. Sports is supposed to be an escape. What did that kneeling do? NOTHING. Get out. Register voters. Start petitions. Get signature. Run for office. Etc.

Republicans finally gonna start watching soccer now

Sorry bro ..just like it’s your right to kneel it’s the fans right to boo!

Controversial Black-ish Episode Pulled by ABC Over Anthem Kneeling Now on HuluNow that fans have seen the 2018 episode that addressed Colin Kaepernick's protests -- among other topics -- it's hard to see why it was ever yanked. TooFab I don't care to see anyone else on their knee disrespecting the American flag, if you dont like our flag go to a country where you do TooFab It’s still hilarious to me that grown adults don’t understand the kneeling. No one is opposing the American flag, they’re protesting police brutality. Has literally nothing to do with the soldiers or the America itself. Can’t fix stupid I guess TooFab The children in underground tunnels haven't seen the light of day either.... still......
