Most of the women's soccer team turned to face the American Flag when the anthem was being played by the military hero.
However, some of the women were still facing the military hero as he was playing the anthem on the harmonica, so they were facing him, not the flag.
Afterwards the team thanked him and shook his hand for being there to play the anthem for them.
Facts are needed. I'm open to hearing other people's facts too.
I just don't want people to blame others based on a misconception.
I saw the entire video, and that is in fact what happened. Some players faced the flag, while some stayed facing the military hero playing the anthem. I didn't see any intentional disrespect from either group. Other than not placing their hand over their heart.
That is exactly true. There were TWO flags, one was at the end of the stadium, the other was brought in for the national anthem. Half the team turned and saluted the flag at the end of the field.
Look at the picture and tell me who we should be mad at, the girl who is clearly saluting or the girl facing forward?
At least we don't have to look at that rapinoe bitch or solo. Time to bring back integrity to OUR AMERICAN teams that are representing our country and get away from the corporate whores that are constantly being shoved in our faces.
Their hands would be on their cold empty hearts if that were true.
Notice they have their hands behind their back.
They are expressionless. Don't even smile when listening to our WWII Vet play his harmonica.
Please, it's obvious what is going on here to anyone with eyes to see.
This was fake news! Honestly!! They turned to look at the flag in the end zone. After the Anthem they went and talked to him and signed a ball for him.
But now I’m curious why this was reported in this way? It definitely riled up the “right”. Why falsely report?
Send them packing. I blame the administrators of the Olympics. Make them sign something air tight. You honor the country, respect the flag or you are automatically withdrawn, lose your medal, and have to repay all expenses, fines, and taxes associated with the medals. They also will be banned for life from further participation. Same holds for our sports teams at home.
Hang on a moment.

If that is true I definitely owe them an apology.. never want to wrongly accuse anyone !!
Yea I mean there's several reasons to not support them, this wasn't it.
A group of 15yr old boys playing against them would be my reason, lolz. That's all I got.
This post is still up though. And that's what happened. Every second you don't delete it, you impugn them further.
So....

The ones supposedly turning away had their hands on their hearts 🧐
Yeah something looks off. I retract my opinion.

Girl on the left has a nice mustache.
Stop supporting them, period!
These broads look up to that pink hair Rapinoe traitor.
Stop watching.

There are plenty of other women players in this country that can work as a team, compete against the world, and stand and face the flag when they win.
Look at all the -1's in the comments. Shills be shilling.
They probably don’t even know why they’re turning their back.
