Hope Solo Says That Megan Rapinoe Would "Almost Bully" Teammates Into Kneeling for the National Anthem

Hope Solo, who I almost want to call a Friend of the Blog (TM) for her popularity with some commenters, reveals the obvious: Social justice warriors are just bullies who've found a socially-permissible justification for their innate sociopathy.

Former U.S. women’s national team player Hope Solo said during a podcast last week that she saw teammate Megan Rapinoe "almost bully" players into kneeling for the national anthem.

"I've seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way, but it's our right as Americans to do it in whatever way we're comfortable with," Solo said on "All of US: The U.S. Women's Soccer Show" last Tuesday.

The former goalie described kneeling as "very divisive."


...

Rapinoe was also the first white athlete to follow Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest against racism and discrimination. She drew blowback from U.S. Soccer, which later required its athletes to stand for the national anthem.

Last year, Rapinoe lauded Kaepernick during the ESPY Awards and said his 2016 protests left a lasting legacy. Time magazine ranked Rapinoe as one of the 100 most influential people of 2020 due to her impact on and "beyond the pitch."

Ryan Long points out that "woke" ideology has created a Golden Age for Sociopaths and Bullies.

Posted by: Sponge - Saying Ashli Babbitt at August 17, 2021 01:14 PM (Zz0t1)

34 So you mean Rapinoe is a bully who uses pressure and threats to get people to behave the way she wants? Well, I am just shocked that the blue-haired and slightly feminine version of Martin Short - who has made her career kicking a ball while making sure it is damned clear that she'd rather be kicking balls - could possibly be a bully.

So, Hope, why not call her on it? Why not say, "Hey, Meg! Back it down. You do you, but we're a team on that field and in this locker room and your junior high mean girl bullying and other bullshit goes too far. Do you want to win games or do you want win interpersonal conflicts here in the locker room? Because I know I - and most of my teammates - want to win games. So cool it." C'mon, Hope. You ain't gonna get kicked off the team for standing up to a bully.

We allow the left to isolate someone and force them to choose between kneeling (literally here) and being cancelled.

You can slam Solo as much as you want...but until there is an answer to this that isn't something like "grow a pair" we will continue to lose.

Hope Solo stuck something up her ass, on camera. I think it was a bottle, if memory serves. Maybe it was a vegetable or something.

Anyway, she stuck it up the butt on camera. And also (again, if memory serves), she did it at some crazy sex-party and didn't think it would go public.

But what if she had done it in public? What if, after they won the ladies' gayball championship, she stuck a bottle in her ass on 5th Avenue while rainbow confetti fluttered in the sky?

That's still less offensive than her crusty diesel-dyke teammate shitting on the whole country in front of the rest of the world.

The Amazon river runs for thousands of miles.

At some points, it runs through areas of the rain forest that are almost untouched and have been barely explored.

Because of the porous limestone in these areas, the river water leaks through the stone and travels deep into the earth, and forms underground pools almost a mile below the surface.

Over thousands of years, small blind transparent fish have lived and evolved in these pools. These fish have never seen the sun or surface and have never been seen by the human eye. These fish care more about Meagan Rapinoe than I do.

134 Wokeness has some good intentions. To avoid the denigration of marginalized people, for one.

However, the adult is not to excuse the vices of something with its "good intentions".

Because, unless you're dealing with flat-out criminals, your opposition likely has some things that could be classified as good intentions as well.

But "intentions" too often the bailey confused for some more particular motte.

The CRT promoters say they're just trying to teach accurate history of the injustices against Africans and others. But you can teach history without race. Simply noting that for this group of era E race was important and decisive. To make the teaching of race about race is another thing entirely.

192 OT but current: I think the rapid takeover by the Taliban may also show how very very thin the veneer was over the (now previous) Afghan government, and the society at large. They probably remained pretty close to the Taliban all along, and/or are willing to sing whatever tune so long as they get something out of it financially.

I think this is true of a lot of the Muslim world. They can exist in a sort of go-along/get-along mode as long as life functions for them pretty well at the same time. But it's really easy for them to get a little pressure applied by the Taliban types and they all flip in an instant. This was the pattern over and over in Indonesia.

Lots of assurances of various things - amnesties, allowing female education up to university level, no hosting of "foreign fighters", etc.

Of course AQ has been part of the operation for a while, so just what that one key assurance is supposed to mean isn't clear.

And specially trained units that look 98% like US or US-trained conventional units (down to the use of gun-trucks, Humvees), which Talib had adverstized in videos for a while, now patrolling Kabul. Police-orientation.

He commanded that because he knew that in cohabitating with sexual deviants, idolators, infant sacrificers, drunkards and hedonistic groups, that the chosen people would be infected with the ways of the damned.

257 "How do you get someone like Solo to be in a position where a Rapinoe loses HER job instead?"

And it isn't just Hope Solo. Post Floyd, Saints QB Drew Brees dared to make what seemed like a pretty innocuous statement about supporting the flag and the American way, etc. and he was immediately blasted with a letter by newcomer to the team Malcolm Jenkins telling him he had lost all respect for Brees and warning him, "We aren't asking any more."

And Jenkins was a player who had just been traded to the Saints. A good player but not exactly the future HOF QB who had previously led the Saints to the Super Bowland had been with the team for years.

And IIRC not a single player on the Saints stuck up for Brees at all, let alone said something like, "Hey, Malcolm, maybe you need to log some time with this team before you tell us how to run things. We're trying to get back to the Super Bowl so why don't you shut your pie hole and focus on football until you've helped us do that."

For Biden, it was good. In my opinion it was his best address since he announced that he was running. He didn't stumble too much, he held his shit together (though I suspect only barely), and his speechwriters did a decent job - interleaved pathos, lots of active verbs, short declarative sentences, etc. - and it allowed Biden to pretend to be responsible why dodging all responsibility.

The only thing that *hasn't* worked for that speech is the press - this time (presumably on someone's orders), they aren't all falling into line and grovelling at the feet of the man who dusted off "The Buck Stops Here."

Your initial point was we allow the left to isolate someone and force them to choose between kneeling (literally here) and being cancelled.

I wouldn't consider permitting foreign evacuation to proceed part of this - I expected that, doing otherwise just invites trouble, incurs costs, and puts them in the hole with other countries from the start.

But there's a jihadi equivalent of a "civil affairs" approach apparent, in specially trained units, in setting up hotlines to report criminal or abusive behavior. And now, the press conference where leadership formally claimed they will not pursue the things that made their predecessors infamous.

Time will tell, but they've put up specific, concrete lines they pledged they will not cross, so evaluation won't be hard.

He didn't stumble too much, he held his shit together (though I suspect only barely), and his speechwriters did a decent job - interleaved pathos, lots of active verbs, short declarative sentences, etc. - and it allowed Biden to pretend to be responsible why dodging all responsibility.

I believe the plan for now is to show the "Kindler, gentler, side of the Taliban" to Western media. Why not? They can con Western governments and NGO's out of billions of dollars for humanitarian needs after 20 years of war.

He should have. He might have been so confused and off-balance that he didn't think of it. Especially because if he did that, the D-line would quit turfing him and open channels to maximize the turnover potential, while his own lines scrambled to stop the advance.

And then during halftime he could have explained exactly why this game was going so badly, and if they wanted to stop the humiliation then he had a proposal for them.

I never pronounce it. But in reality that is an American thing. I don't know what it is about us that we try to pronounce words in a different language but never get it right. I am not sure why we try, it is just a thing we do. Sure it is being woke or diverse, but it goes back further than that. Americans often try to pronounce French and Spanish terms in another language, or at least half another language.

You never see the French doing that and you never see the Brits do that. The Brits love to Anglicize everything to the point it would seem comical to an American. They love it though and take pride in it.

Not long ago a Taliban leader was asked a real, tough question by some foreign reporter (imagine that, in the US, under Obama or Biden). He was asked about the Taliban's relations with China, given China's genocidal treatment of Muslims.

Like a seasoned western pol, he answered that relations with China were good, and that the Taliban were not going to dictate to China on its internal affairs. Which, to tie things up here, was actually *less* despicable an answer than that given by the Nike CEO in response to a similar question.

Yeah, JJ my brother, we're not voting or suing our way out of this. I believe the only peaceful option left is an international strike (a la John Galt, Gandhi, and to a lesser extent MLK, Jr.) by the productive who love liberty in order to cripple the worldwide economy and bring these oligarchs to their knees (and eventually forcing them to scream "uncle."

I'm aware that this may not work ... and that many may suffer and perish as a result -- in which case, it's Irish democracy good and hard.

Our movement is lacking a charismatic leader (Trump could do it but naively thinks the system still works and is apparently not interested in what's really required).

The thing is, I very strongly reject being forced to think the "correct" way. Nobody will do my thinking for me.
