Will we agree to roll over?
Will the rest of the world urinate on us?

To be frank, they shouldn't be using the platform we gave them to make political statements, and especially not geo-political statements. They aren't representatives of the state department.

I think we should withdraw them ourselves, but won't be too upset if they get kicked out instead. Even if this particular statement is one that most of the US would agree with, this crap needs to end.

Isn't this about standing with the players from Iran because of them protesting their own country .?

Either way Iran's players might not want to return home.

I never really understood watching any sport, but grown humans running around a big lawn playing kickball?

Everyone else in the world, which is why it's more important to watch what statements they make even if we don't care about the sport.

I am with you 100%, which is why I also couldn't care less about football (our football) or hockey or baseball or really any sport.

Kickball was at least fun. ( especially hurling that big rubber ball at the back of a baserunners head rounding third )

Soccer sux.

1. In the event of a tie, the coaches must have a duel at midfield - if it ends in a tie, it's not a sport.
2. If players pass the ball 10 times without shooting, the ball detonates - would put a stop to this asinine backward passing once and for all.

In good conscience I have to say there is no way I would send Americans to play in any Muslim country where they will be subject to their laws.
