    Will this be live streamed? Or only on Comcast?

    It has always been a way of celebrating citizens who have represented their country and fellow countrymen/women as a whole in a unifying and honorable manner while kicking ass and totally dominating the competition. This team failed miserably in all but the latter. Most Americans can only name the players who have slandered our country, and that is how history will remember them.

    Either you get paid an amount you or your agent is able to negotiate, or you go full commie and all players get paid the exact same salary regardless of actual talent or popularity.

    The women all have agents, and they are getting every penny of their worth for playing a game that has very few fans year-round. They are complete unknowns to over 300 million Americans who have never watched them play a single game.

    Question about Rapinoe meaning when she says, "People who look like me"?

    I have never followed Soccer and never heard of this woman before her team won the world cup. So what it it about her looks that she thinks Trump dislikes?

    Is this some sort of code?

    She’s an outspoken, purple haired, gay woman. She checks a lot of boxes of someone Trump would not care for.

    Really!
    Do you think, she thinks people can see she is gay? I did not. I sort of wondered why her hair is purple though, but don't really give a shit.

    She kind of reminds me of a girl I knew in High School. Good looking gal! She ask me to be her partner in this Bad mitten league, of mix couples. She totally took on the role
    of Boss, told me to leave every shot to her. I was only to get the ones she did not return. So I did exactly that, right behind her the whole match, every time. We did win it all.
    But not quite in my book, as you might guess, I sort of was hoping to expand my role. It never happened. I only figured it out later, why. It amuses me now.

    Yeah, same here, every girl who didn't want to sleep with me, I later realized was a lesbian. I swear, they must be much higher than the reported 10% of the population.

    I think she was implying that someone who “looks like her” wasn’t just to mean physical looks; it’s her, who she is, what she stands for. She stands for equality and being a good person, so not someone Trump can relate to.

    Really! That many! I only knew of one, and I only knew 50 years later.

    I guess I don't see it.
    I can't see what she stands for.
    I can't see she stands for equality.
    I can't see a good person, but I do sort of question it now.

    Perhaps Trump can, but I still wonder why she would think this?

    Funny how hard it is for some folks to celebrate a major sports victory by a U.S. team.

    I never heard of her before the "looks like me" thing was on the news.

    Kinda my thought also, in a different way. Rather hard to be happy for this woman with her hate up front.
