Should she be allowed to represent the United States while refusing to stand for National Anthem?

That's up to USA soccer. It's not necessarily a 1st Amendment issue since USA Soccer isn't actually affiliated with the US government, whoever runs USA soccer can make whatever decision they want regarding standing or not standing.

Do I think she should stand? Absolutely.

Does she have Constitutional protections that say she doesn't have to stand? Also yes.

I'm not willing to trample on the Constitution just because someone pisses me off or I disagree with their speech or expression.
 
That's the thing about America. You have the right to be a total, unappreciative, jerk.
And I have the right to totally dismiss them.

I mean it's women's soccer...on the list of things I concern myself with, that falls somewhere in between, "Do lizards have too much salt in their diet?" and "What would a rainbow look like if I had twice as many rods and cones in my eyes?"

Most of us aren't even aware there is a US Women's soccer team, and those of us who are only realize it during the World Cup.
 
Depends what area you live in

Lol not really. 330 million Americans. VERY few outside of major cities actually care.

But to answer your original question. It's not a Constitutional issue. I don't and won't support her, but ultimately it's soccer. Who cares?

Does it just eat you up inside when those hideous vixen soccer girls spit right in Abe Lincoln's face by not doing exactly as you wish? This has to be a top 5 issue right now in Murica. Trump has done nothing to stop russian interference in our democracy but this soccer girl thing dwarfs that. This is HUGE.

Literally wasn't aware this was a thing. Nor do I care now that I'm aware of it.

No. If you don’t want to discuss and it isn’t a big deal. Why respond. You have issues. Every post doesn’t need to be ridiculed
 
I support his policies and yes Duck ,like you, can only toss out derogative name calling. What school district employed him ?

Look for two schools where the teams I helped coach won 80% of their games and students in the classroom learned to set smart goals, make plans to achieve those goals, make thoughtful decisions regarding their personal finances and healthy lifestyle choices and have a hell of a lot of fun doing all those things.

It had to be football. Head Coach? Congrats. I believe you directed your students/ players in a different manner than I have witnessed on this site.

He was a Head Coach for three years on a team that was already established and loaded with talent. It would have taken a complete moron to screw up what he inherited.

Unfortunately he didn't leave it better than he found it. North County has had 15 mostly rough years since he stepped down.
