Do parents here find it acceptable that the women call each others "b-----", like the women apparently do? If so, is it ok for a man address a woman that way?

I personally don't monitor the terms or phrases my kids use that closely, but I've always told them to be careful in the words they use, and direct words or terms at others that they wouldn't want directed back at them.

Also, if the US is so bad, that MR has to be forced to stand for the anthem and will not sing it (apparently again ever according to her), why would you play for that team? Why would you rep a uniform (country) that you believe treats so many so poorly?

If she really wanted to make a point, she would have made the team and resigned to show point. That's a sacrifice.

And yes, I'm a middle aged man --- I don't care about their sexual orientation, I don't care that they believe they are serious problems with this country, I don't care that they don't Trump or don't want to go to the White House, I don't care who they vote for, but I do think they could represent themselves and the country better, and show some humility.

You simply are not interested in knowing or understanding why she is protesting DURING the National Anthem. And no matter how many times you have been told that she or Kaepernick are not protesting the anthem but trying to raise awareness for social injustice. People like you who are so bothered by the protest need to hear the reasons the most but it’s simply lost on you.

And who the hell are you to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do during a song.

She is representing her country! That is her whole point. When has USA been known for its humility? Neverr and that is why it is so successful. One does not become the best in the world by being humble.

The final that they lost and the olympics in which they were knocked out, were on pk shootouts. Be a role model to your kids so they don’t have to look up to her then if you dislike her so much, but you can’t really dispute her athletic achievements. It’s why she gets such a big platform. Sorry

Megan is a badass. I hope my daughter grows up to be as confident and comfortable with herself as she is.

Same for my kids.
