On an unrelated note, wouldn’t it be fair if penalty kicks had to be taken by the player fouled rather than the best penalty kick taker. If you were fouled in the box, the idea is that was a goal opportunity that was missed by that player, so that player you should be the one to take the shot.

And even Trump isn't fuckin' stupid enough to go to war with Rapinoe, as dependent as he is on the white women vote... She can't be painted as some radical "KILL ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE" black nationalist the way Kaepernick was...

She made him know this was for country and not him.
Women everywhere will soon join her - they have to win the cup now.

I hope they win - it is very important - this is country not Con and she made her statement in advance.

This is Sports, Politics and Society in action
