'We wear Black Lives Matter to affirm human decency,' members of the United States women's national soccer team said in a statement.

"We wear Black Lives Matter to affirm human decency," members of the team said in a statement posted on social media ahead of the game."We protest against racial injustice and police brutality against Black people. We protest against the racist infrastructures that do not provide equal opportunity for Black and brown people to fulfill their dreams, including playing on this team.

— Alex Morgan November 27, 2020 Multiple members of the team also took a knee during the National Anthem ahead of the game, a rematch of last year's Women's World Cup Final which USWNT won 2-0. It was the team's first in 261 days.

Hopefully when they grow up they will learn that ALL LIVES MATTER. BLM is a segregatioist rant that color codes society

Thank you for supporting us.

Kneeling for nothing and I'm sure they're more comfortable on their knees.

CNNus now a communist propaganda machine. Sad, the world. No justice, no more journalism.

Woman soccer's team were amazing. Love it, especially those two awesome players. 😊😊🙏🙏.

Fire all of them

Those riots expressed zero decency as did the looting. Only one brave woman strong on this joke of a team. The only one showing she still has allegiance in supporting her country. This is the land of the brave and home of the free. Knees are for praying not disrespecting.

American soccer, sometimes I don't know what to say

C*NTS

Haha this was against the Netherlands. If they were to overstay their visa in the Netherlands they would all become prostitutes. But yeah, we have it so bad in the usa where cops mistreat blacks. A stat that really means nothing compared to black on black crime. Sad team.

You all should be wearing GOD MATTERS

Fucking traders

YESSSSSS!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 blm4life womenpower YASSSSQUEENSSS

The people are tired watching the knee taking exercise..

No. I actually pity the fools that believe in the BLM garbage!

SHUT THEM DOWN!!

Disgusting.

Police Brutality is not only an American Problem! PoliceBrutality PoliceViolence PoliceState

People keep repeating black lives, every human lives is important this BLM doesn’t stand for nothing. Sorry I forgot that is just political organization now,they don’t stand for shit

Unfortunately either they can't read or elce they support Marxist society. But everyone is allowed their opinion no matter how uniformed it may be.

They need sacking and Jailing!!!

human decency doesn’t burn down people’s businesses and assault police officers!

The sentiment is great. The organization is a Marxist group bent on creating chaos throughout the country. Always separate the two.

Human decency like murder, drugs, arson, looting, etc.?

So who gets to choose what is issued as a national platform statement? What if they want to wear something about abortion, is that ok? Slippery slope.

Or because they’re a bunch of sheep following a trend. Black people individually matter a lot. Black lives matter as a political movement is trash. Most can’t distinguish the difference between the two.

What is USWNT? I haven’t seen them in so long I thought they stopped playing. Nobody cares about these people

Do homeless people matter, do aborted children matter? Just asking for the rest of humanity

These women are powerful! They are grossly underpaid but take time to remind people about the lack of equality and justice for black and brown people. It’s a selfless gesture; thank you. Now pay these gifted women what they are worth!

Communism is about the furthest thing from “human decency” I can think of, but okay...

An that’s why they lost respect from fans... they support the organization which doesn’t do anything for black Americans.

Human decency is all lives matter idiots.

👏👏👏 proud of you ..

BLM is domestic Terrorist group

disgraceful!

Done watching them. Others will do the same.

If so called black lives matter, why are so many blacks being killed by other blacks in New Orleans, La. I guess the Comedy News Network or the Communist News Network will blame it on Pres. Trump, the Wuhan flu, or Conservatives.

I didn't know they had women's soccer

Defund TaxDollars from this Terrorist Supporting organization! The BLM is a hate group founded by convicted terrorist. Earlier this year their own doctrine called to rip apart the USA. They removed this hate script from the website. However the BLM called for burning and looting!

BLM is an extremist marxist group with funding by George Soros. BLMs goal is to destroy patriarchy' and destroy the nuclear family.

As a military man taking a knee was the highest form of Respect I could give the fallen. I take a knee when I speak to my God. To take a knee for our flag is the highest form of Respect you can give America.Take a knee to show Love & Respect for America & your fellow Americans

I bet the fan was was incredibly moved..

Yes go

✊🏽

Irrelevant supports more irrelevant, reported by most irrelevant

Stop supporting terrorists(ANTIFA & BLM)

That picture is a microcosm of how many people left in this country still love it. They lost the election btw.

Has anyone bothered to look at the BLM Website😉

You should wear a shirt that says AFFIRM HUMAN DECENCY

Kneeling for our national anthem and promoting the BLM propaganda has only further divided this country rather unite us.

At least two of them don’t want to be part of the National Embarrassment the other ones are!!!

White ppl know whats going on but they rather we ignore it get use to it, so they can keep advancing easily through life.

BREAKING NEWS! DOMINION AND SMARTMATIC HAVE CLOSED UP SHOP, EMPLOYEES IN HIDING , AND NOW EVEN UNDER SUBPOENA TO SENATE HEARINGS ARE MIA! TWITTER SUSPENDS THOSE EXPOSING THIS FRAUD, AND SOCIAL MEDIA JUMPS ON THE SUPPRESSION BANDWAGON ANTIFA TIES, SOROS +

The problem is not standing for the anthem of the country you are representing on the field. If you can't respect the flag then you should not be representing the country in competition. These girls should be ashamed.

Congrats, you women are winners in Life. Your efforts will make the World a better place for all people, BlackLivesMattters, blackexcellence CivilRights WomensRights EqualRights GayRights . Racist Trumpsters Republicans Deplorables Trump GetTFO if you're Hating.

Ridiculous

BLM who loots, riots and sucker punches people walking, eating and minding their own business!

How embarrassing. Anyone who believes BLM's BS narrative is a complete and utter imbecile.

AllLivesMattter

Nobody watches your tired asses anyway... Carry-on SHEEP

BFD

I didn’t think it was possible to love these amazing ladies more 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Shame on you. Respect to country is not a choice.

And should wear number 666. Americans are human right violators and revenge is coming.

Imagine representing your country and kneeling during the anthem. It’s even worse when they are on foreign soil. This isn’t going to help you get paid. It’s going to make it worse. Have any done anything other than this to help their protest. Probably not. Grow up and stand up.

“All Lives Matter” misses the point. It allows people to pretend we do not have a caste system in this country. We need to learn our history and vow to stop it. Germany did it, America can too.

Love this

Thanks for taking away my joy of watching sports. Those who watch sports like it as an outlet away from politics etc.

So sick of BLM (reason) white men get shot by the cops too but most of those being shot by law enforcement DESERVE IT - so sick of those kneeling during our National anthem - huuum wonder what would happen to those in the military if they started kneeling

Only people who give a crap about what ever this team is are either spouses or close relatives

BLM is a Marxist group, who, kill, and rob Black’s also. Why the name doesn’t match ?

They're lying. If they weren't...they'd be wearing...'ALL LIVES MATTER'. My life doesn't matter to them. I don't support them. They've politicized their involvement. Pull their credentials.

Black Lives Matter does not represent black people. That's why white folk support the group. This George Soros funded group's mission is to promote homosexuality and illegal immigration, not black people. Hypocrits!

Ridiculous- this hateful propaganda is disgusting- will never support a team who supports hate

I Am one of those Black Lives and I say Thank You to those of You not like me, yet recognize that human decency for YOU means Not standing idly by as the right to life,liberty/pursuit of decency is stripped of me/those like me Thank You!

They don’t know it is a Marxist group.

BLM is just a Marxist group that has raised over one billion dollars but hasn’t helped one black family. They have been all talk. Every race matters and black on black crime is the biggest reason for black deaths in the US. Lack of black fathers contributes to this

I guess Latinos and Asians do not require human decency.

They were because they dont want blacks to take over their league

AllLivesMatter idiots!

They wear BLM as a distraction so the conversation doesn't turn to economic empowerment and justice for Black people. BLM is fine with corporate America and White liberals because it doesn't affect their respective bottom lines. It's all a distraction from talk of tangibles

Obama's legacy is apologizing to the world for how bad we are: 'America is evil and is responsible for everything bad in the world.' These players are showing to the world how awful America is and they are too marinated in white guilt to even realize how manipulated they are.

No one cares but the muppets

when the playboy model says shes for 'world peace' im IN 🤪 I guess when you dont look like the playboy model, you need a popular slogan for attention if you're there to play soccer, then play. I dont care what your shirt says.

Affirming human decency by supporting a political movement characterised entirely by divisive race-baiting

Will they take a knee in support of “child trafficking awareness” The answer is NO! Just like pro sports thugs. It has nothing to do with human decency. It’s a liberal hack job to be anti American. Ask all 25 fans in attendance at the soccer game lol All lives matter.

If you are willing to play and be paid on a national team you should wear the American flag not some Marxist organization

Clown shit

Joe Biden will be remembered as the president that put together the most corrupt election in history he will not be our president

They don't understand that BLM is a pure political movement and has nothing whatsoever to do with so-called social justice they claim to represent. This is a disgrace. BLM does not represent us blacks, simple.

Fuk them all. Just let me know when the war starts.

Communist news

Black lives matter is a racist, domestic terrorist organization. I do not watch any sport that promotes them. Manufactured lying news

Wrong! ALL LIVES MATTER EQUALLY!

Love it.

BLM are devout marxists. So the women’s soccer team members are Marxists? Someone needs to explain the whole picture to them.

Do they not understand they the doublespeak they’re supporting? My guess is no. BlackLivesMatter is a racist and marxist organization. Openly and blatantly so.

It's the Marxist thing to do.

❤️👍

🙏🏾💕

Only real people understand

Racism and discrimination are called human rights in the USA.

BlackLivesMatter = racist

Like the human decency shown in the destruction of American cities and culter? Got ya!

Respect to the best women's team of the world right now. Fuck those of u flag lovers that's disguised in racism.

What a shame USWNT are nothing but garbage players and people

Black Sabbath Matters!

Such crap, BLM is a markist terror group and should be put in jail.

Womens soccer.... two words together that equal zero interest, fan base or relevance outside Liberal wine tastings and SJW newsletter talking points.....

Idiots

Idiots!

No, you wear it so you don’t get canceled. Nice try though.

Nobody watches this Busch team.

fakecause my favorite black people are doing their best ever.. media and money making machine they make my 90's growing up in a super diverse city act like it was pre jim crow.

Are they promoting violence...seriously, just ridiculous!

Maybe you should teach some human decency to blm and Anifta and stop supporting domestic terrorism . Just saying

Sad! It should read all lives matter!!!

Yawn

Understand, but teach them to tip appropriately to those who break their backs to offer them great service at restaurants and get nothing in return, what’s up with that? We don’t count!

...are they Marxist trained also? Give me your salary because I can’t play soccer as well as you do and don’t even care to try even if I could. Give me whatever you have. It’s mine because you have more than I do. No family, religion, government, or any more soccer teams. Yeah.

Thank you US Women’s Soccer for acknowledging the value of my life. Human value is what this is about. All men are created equal. Saying my life has value doesn’t devalue any one else’s. It just gives me room to sit in the chair made by God for me at the table of humanity.

No they do it for attention. Go to their website and see what blm stands for and how they have helped no black families or communities.

AERICA = 5,38 ITALIA

Well there goes fans for the soccer team. Their lack of knowledge is why they play soccer for a living.

Pathetic, other countries are watching how the US eats itself

Says the Communist National Network

Isn't BLM a racist organization?

Let me puke 🤮 on their shoes. Screw BLM as it’s a radical organization that breeds hate speech. Wake up people

Disgusting. Their message is simply FU and give us more money.

Like anyone watches them anyway.

Dem ratings bout to DROP... Kinda like did.. 🤬🤬🤡🤡🤡🤮🤮🤮

Good for them, standing up for a movement and what they believe in. Good job ladies.

So they replace USA on their uniforms with Black Lives Matter? Last time I checked, they are the UNITED STATES women’s soccer team, not the Black Lives Matter women’s soccer team. That’s a slap in the face to Americans and the flag!

BLM is a terrorist organization.

They wear Black Lives Matter because they have been bullied into submission by corporate America to push an agenda that doesn’t do shit for blacks people

Thank you Julie Ertz and Kelly O’Hara for doing the RIGHT thing and standing for the country you represent. There are a couple of veterans there who just lost my respect in a major way for kneeling. BLM has nothing to do with standing for our flag.

👍👍👍👍👍

Black Lives Matter has nothing to do with decency. It's a horrible, racist organization that whips up and exploits racial prejudice and weaponizes it against countries and what they see as the 'white race', and to further destabilise community security.

Eliminate all white middle America!!! Let’s burn down the old America and start new with Biden!!

USWNT good for the girls who stood. Thank you for having some courage and backbone to stand, especially CONSIDERING YOUR ON THE NATIONAL TEAM!! Be proud of the country you represent or don’t play on the team. Don’t cave to the mob

What has BLM done to improve the lives of black people?

Brainwashed and exploited by marxists to create victims to further their cause ...

How long must the USWNT continue to pander?

We have a national women's soccer team?

And denying fathers in the family, and be Marxist. Good job ladies.

Almost all fucking white chicks that have to be ashamed

You wear it because you are submitting. You have no courage, all you do is virtue signaling.

When you represent the United States, you represent all of us and must be devoid of political statements

BLM supports violent acts against civilians & law enforcement, destruction of property, burning of US flag etc...They promote divisiveness. Supporting them is not a message of unity.

We will never stop respecting the flag and the United States of America ! Just look at CNN business deals in China.any media company that does business there is beholden to the Chinese government or they are blacklisted

lol who asked

I guess All Lives doesn’t deserve human decency. Go figure. Maybe they should change their shirts to BLM “the ones not rioting and looting”. Oh forgot they mostly are destroying businesses.

They are kneeing the neck of our Nation through their naive allegiance to the anti-American BLM segregationist coven that foments chaos & racism, dishonoring the millions of achievers in the Black community. ALL LIVES MATTER!

All I’ve seen black lives matter do is burn, loot, harass, vandalize, and assault. Still waiting to see the decency part.

All lives matter Respect and honor the country that allowed you your privilege to be able to stand on the field.

They’ll take the same dive the rest of the sports industry has taken.. something like the one the msm has taken..

No one watches them. Get woke

Except that’s not what BLM affirms.... righteous

Too bad that movement would kill them if the opportunity presented itself.

✊🏿😍✊🏿

Beautiful! Simple, elegant and beautiful. Look at that, they even accept people that don’t choose to agree with them.

🚮

BLM equals decency...huh...is that why they took their platform off their website....you know the Neo-marxist agenda

LOL. I can’t remember if it’s about the game or something else anymore...

You put a colour in front of 'lives matter' you are a racist on my book.

DefundUSWNT ALL lives matter.

F BLM

It's the white guilt in them showing. Pathetic losers.

This youth is the future of the country......... It means the country will be ruined soon. ....... by the way, that team is terrible.

😂

USWNT disgrace

'please think about women's sports' lol

chaedria ✊🏾👏🏾❤️

As usual this comes from CNN, but the questions I have is where does the money come for this womens national soccer team to fund this team? Tax dollars? I need to find out who is funding this team!

Hey look kids....MARXISTS!

Just gross. Maybe they should visit sites that has big murder numbers every weekend. Instead of publicity stunts

Yaaaaaaaaawn

Its sad that other athletes don’t take the same stance & instead follow the crowd who is ok with letting our fellow Americans to be mistreated or marginalized. And for those of you who subscribe to “All lives matter”, if it did we wouldn’t be having this conversation since 1865

So much stupidity being commented on this video... The BlackLivesMatter organization is a hate group with a mission of destroying the American way of life.

African americans standing up for the american flag is like jews standing up for the nazi flag. So don’t sit behind your pc screen and say blacks shouldn’t protest during the anthem

USWNT are racists. Fire them.

blm's info page spoke of not embracing the 'European ' idea of a nuclear family. They think black men should breed whoever's they like and let the community or'village' raise them. Such a sweet thought. If they truly think black lives matter then stop the blacks killing eachother

Everyone should know, BLM is a made up organization designed to funnel money to Democratic campaigns. go to BLM website, and click on donate, it takes you to thinkblue, a Democratic superpac, designed to promote and fund Democratic campaigns.,

They’re I’ll oriented, even a bit dumb and stupid.

Who cares

Pathetic

BLM is a Marxist terrorist group

So, bye uswnt.

No more watching soccer for me.

Remember when that 6 year old begged God to save his police officers mother's life? This soccer team honors those who were outside the hospital chanting 'hope they die'. 'Human decency' my ass.

Nobody watches them anyways, so who cares

Very sad times when our national soccer team supports a terrorist group

Ok. But Chicago has had almost 3000 shootings and around 700 death in 2020. How does that factor into human decency?

That's a nice touch young ladies. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾🧓🏾💙

Human decency is when you say All Lives Matter, instead of signaling virtue by repeating slogans in order to be politically correct and avoid incoveniences.

If you really cared about human decency, you would not be using race as a pawn to garner ratings. Pathetic

CNNFireRickSantorum

They wear BLM to get attention because nobody cares about womens soccer

You have been brainwashing the masses

ALL LIVES MATTER. 🙏🏻

BREAKING: Female soccer falls to all-time-low viewership more at 11

Fine them for there actions so sick of these people and there cray shit the flag has noting to do with any of the shit they are bitching about

They can win without the other two...

Very divisive. Shows their ignorance.

Others lives don’t matter?

Proud of them...

Y’all wear Black Lives Matter because you get PAID to!

Human decency is about being human, not focusing on the color of a human’s skin...they may want to try “HUMAN LIVES MATTER”

They are just like Democrats - they put the Cart BEFORE the Horse...

Human decency, yet they attack people when they are out rioting , murder their own and burn their own businesses and demand whit people pay them. Where's the human decency

Unfortunately, tell a lie long enough and people will believe it, embrace, even make a religion out of it.

This is the only way they get attention so I guess it’s working for them.

I'm sure this makes an impression on both people who care about women's national soccer.

BLM is a Marxist organization!

No. They wear it to virtue signal while supporting a marxist organization.

Did they also list the cities that Black Life’s don’t matter. Like Chicago Baltimore NYC Newark Camden Detroit St. Louis etc. ?

Champions ! On and off the field.

Who are they? Are they an amateur team playing sports ball? That's cute?

They are severely confused.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Who gives a shit?

Burn Loot Murder

Source Facts Lies Matter

Fake China Network News CNN 🇨🇳 😂 US Civil disobedience should start because American votes were cancelled out by Chinese mail in ballots without voter signature confirmation. Demented Joe is not more popular than first black President Obama to get 10 million more votes

Is this match in Portland? Just asking for some friends so they can take precautions against human decency...

Holy fuck they are so decent

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

BLM killed a black 8 year old girl

Racism works for them. I stopped watching

Media won’t show

Media won’t show

What's wrong with 'ALL LOVES MATTER', which they do? I'm not separating myself from the bulk of Humankind to appease a certain voting bloc.

Interracial Violent Victimization's (Excluding Homicide) Between Blacks And Whites (2018) Total: 593,598 Committed By Blacks Against Whites: 537,204 Committed By Whites Against Blacks: 56,394 --Bureau of Justice Statistics

BLM LIE

They are the only ones. Democratic Party did what they do every 4 years. Promise the world. Then disappear once Election is over

Yikes! 😬

- Black males represent 6% of the population & commit 44% of US murders. - Blacks 13% of population but commit 50% of all violent crimes - Violent white criminals have a 25% higher chance of dying at hands of police than Blacks

BLM IS MARXIST

So U believe in a socialist organization

-10 unarmed Blacks killed in US by police 2019 ( 6 while assaulting officer) - 19 unarmed Whites killed -Unarmed whites 2x as likely as black to shot by Police -Police 18½x more likely to be killed by black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by Police
