Women's soccer league players and officials kneel during National Anthem

NWSL's Portland Thorns and North Carolina Courage were the first to kneel, right before playing in the Challenge Cup tournament opener at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah. Both teams kneeled during the National Anthem while wearing shirts that said Black Lives Matter.

"National Women's Soccer League players now have the option to remain in the locker room during the National AnthemNorth Carolina Courage and the Portland Thorns NWSL players released a joint statement on Saturday explaining their decision to kneel during the National Anthem: "We took a knee today to protest racial injustice, police brutality, and systemic racism against Black people and people of color in America.

100% confident most of them did it because they did not want to be canceled!!!

Why do you keep reposting a story from over a week ago? This is old news and nobody cares about a lower tier soccer league.

Stand UP! No reason to stick a fork in someone’s eye - that’s a good reason to get others to NOT support you. Fina another time. When you’re not sticking a fork in the eye of a patriot. Or even worse a veteran :(( they are proud

Brave soul who stood and would not bow down to mob

Good thing nobody watches them🤣

Marxists Gonna Kneel.

What happened to the one that was standing up?

I want to know which one was the patriot and refused to kneel

Nobody cares about women's soccer, hence why they get paid less

*majority and 2 real americans stood

And no one would know if cnn didn’t post this...

POLITICAL STATEMENTS ARE RUINING SPORTS. It's not entertainment anymore it's a JOKE Democrats ARE ruining sports and me for one is DONE keep it .

傻逼

AllLivesMatters

idiots

They need to be paid as much as the men's team now!!!

Good job gals ...women know what's what and how to support and care for fellow humans...women nurture...you are all beautiful! 💚

Cnn can you stop race baiting please. This is a plea from a person of colour. You are creating division within the community. You are responsible to give us truth with no affiliation. Continue to do this we the majority of people of colour will come for you

DO_I_MATTER? BlueLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter WhiteLivesMatter AllLivesMatters SilentNoMore This behavior only causes divisiveness. Uninformed youth influenced by cancerous racist hate spreaders such as .

This is getting so boring

BLM is an ''INSULT'' to the Black Community. BLM is a 'CRIMINAL Lives Matter' movement. There's a SUBSTANTIAL element of the 'CRIMINAL Lives Matter' movement that are VIOLENT EXTREMISTS 'currently masquerading' as Sincere/Harmless. NO DOUBT, There's VIOLENT EXTREMISM, Waiting.

Knelt on knee as honor? Really? Same like pay tribute to WWII victims with Nazi salute.

I guess trump supporters are gonna stop ✋watching women's soccer now because of it

What about those who chose to STAND?

lightposition Did the fascists ever dream that they would turn the simple act of kneeling into an enduring, never ending symbol of patriotism, and love of country? Of course they didn't. They're stupid.

everyone lives matter

They can go fuck themselves.

Black Lives Matter!

The man encourages 🍑 just 😆😂🌝💅

PTTP....

Good, I hope they realise that when the Marxist cultural revolution is done, they can forget a career as professional soccer players.

Woman power, RESPECT👏

Can Trump say bad things about fertile women with enviable figure? Let's see!!

💓💞💖💝💕💓😘

Soccer temas knelt around the World, all in silence not during the anthem. If a Democrat was the President the girls wont knelt during the anthem they are Just playing politics

That's why knowbody watches

Disgusting!

This is a very kind thing to do...But we need more diversity even in the women’s soccer league... We need to be more diverse and respectful

Here for the faux outrage of the Dunning Kruger specimens . . .

Knelt for the Marist BLM. Disgraceful

Guess they will fund themselves

The US should not wear the flag colors, that would be racist. We might want to start thinking about even having a team in general. BlackLivesMatter

BLM is a Marxist revolution organization. Fuck them .

What a disgrace

NOBODY WATCHES SOCCER LET ALONE WOMENS SOCCER!

I agree with the statement that 'Black lives matter'. But this organization is not an example for the youth.

Wow that’s really great, usually they are on both knees, servicing pleasure.

🙄🙄🙄🙄idiots

Who? Does anyone even watch these freaks anymore?

celebrating keeping women on their knees, I never would have thought...

Pathetic but not all did unluckily for the corrupted media.

Un American

President Trump has really exposed these mentally obsessed people

COMPLETELY WORTHLESS

Ok? And?

It’s woman’s soccer, no one is watching.

Imagine that protesting abuse of power, could happen during a song about fighting abusive power.

I hope none of you make it ! Lol. Stupid sheep’s

😡😡😡

They’re the best

It’s like a cult. Who wakes up and decides they don’t want to be an American anymore?

Mentally Slaves People

Bye bye women's soccer idiots

Don’t watch any more.

Unfortunate.... I would say I am not going to watch Women's Soccer anymore... But C'mon! NO ONE watches women's soccer...

Fuccck them all. They don’t represent our nation then. They are representing an ideology

Show the outcasts who stood with pride for our country and our military!

Marxist lives matter

There was a tournament?

You’re supporting a group of people that hate white people and America .....fanfreakingtastic

The Problem With Shitty Women Bosses Isn't That They're Women, It's That They're AssholesIn December 2019, the Verge chronicled the grueling, verbally abusive, and all-round physically and emotionally exhausting experiences reported by employees at luggage startup Away. In particular, the story focused on the ways CEO Steph Korey allegedly built her Instagrammable brand on the backs of an underpaid and relentlessly harangued workforce. It’s not a new story. In the past few years, any number of women startup founders have been exposed as being no better than their male counterparts. Once hailed as the “SheEOs” who would bring feminism to the modern office, these founders, reporting revealed, were just a different packaging of the same exploitive start-up culture. Wasn’t this version of “equality” the liberal feminist goal? Rugged individualism and Equal opportunity exploitation? Good read. The thing with these “girl bosses” is that they are still operating within a patriarchical structure. Just because they are women and successful does not mean that they won’t run their businesses any differently than a man running a business in a capitalistic society, I.e. Shitty
