Could you imagine if China or Russia kneeled for their flag...
That's what makes America free and that's part of what makes it great
But your right in a other country this is not acceptable
@@dominicbaltazar5119 it shouldn’t be acceptable in America either
@@natejordan513 well said.. they get paid by the government that flag represents.. kinda weird, trippin on your boss, like that. Props to Ertz and those who STAND and remember what that flag stands for.... namely, not kneeling... 🇺🇸🤟😎
@@teedepefanio5687 I laugh at the what the flag stands for. And how what people think is disrespect and what really is. The flag is not suppose to be on shirts or any clothing but we still do that. Kneeling was recommended by a military member. But so disrespectful.
Respect to the players who were standing for their anthem 🇺🇸
Lies again? Men's Ranking 11
That's Kelley O'hara and Julie Ertz...
@@NazriB men have wc 1941
Respect to the players who were kneeling
respect to the ladies who did not kneel
May I know why they're kneeling?
@@luthfiananta8527 it’s an act of peaceful protest to support the Black Lives Matter movement that started in response to a high rate of violence against people of color by police officers. Since it started it’s grown to include and educate about other issues in American government/society.
@@benjaminharold5154 maybe because it is. Have you ever thought what other people go through or just yourself? You are ignorant. You think that because you have no problems with racism or anything that nobody else does. The people who represent their country are the country. Racist people represent this country therefore this country is racist.
They actually can think for themselves and have an actual mind of their own.
@@OhFlapItsAudrey excatly what I've been saying
So this is a representation of the Black Lives Matter country? The national anthem sounds familiar, though.
yeah that song, its related to that country that always talk about freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and equality. oh well. Irony is dead.
Did You See That Shorts. Tamyra Mensah, Olympic wrestler, a PROUD AMERICAN!
Didn’t know this was still a thing
Respect to the ones standing
Also respect to the ones kneeling.
@@Jerbear889 but more respect the standing. Cuz we are divided like that.
Racists
@@patrickgonzalez3237 because the meaning behind the song doesn't match what the country represents
the foundation of your nation is racist from the killing of the American India's, slavery and everything after that its deep root within in the country just like it's in the UK. I think not just black people who want America just own up and apologise even though America has come a long way there are still wounds that need to be healed
Any house divided against itself cannot stand
tis right
Interesting comment
We should never been been forced together in the first place.. Plato said how Atlantis was already falling because of diversity.. it’s a killer to powerful cultures. You can’t infect clean,healthy cells with cancer and expect it to keep fighting for its life.
european countries have been divided constantly for 3000 years and they still stand, not properly but stand
All respect to the players standing
Love you "julie ertz"
Thanks for the name. I'll buy her jersey. Who's the other girl?
@@onetwo6039 the other girls name is Kelly O’Hara
She’s actually a conservative
Yea
They're still wearing a terrorist organization warm up jacket.
I love how O’Hara remains respectful because her brother did serve! There are other ways to go about this
@@bubbleblow7461 i dont think not participating in something is the same as being against it, tbh
@@samesensei2838 But still courageous act
@TrevThiccy sorry im not from the us i dont have a stance on this, i was just commenting based on logical reasoning
@@samesensei2838 I feel like it is since it's a normal part of being an athlete. They are choosing not to do the expected, normal thing.
@@stanpotter7764 i was referring to a now deleted comment for the opposite stance, so i was actually saying how not doing the whole kneeling thing doesnt mean you are against equal rights for black people
Kelly was my girl, after seeing her standing, she still is.
here here
Same here
And Ertz 🙏 A true patriot 🇺🇸
I feel it
Not when she’s wearing that jacket she isn’t.
Thank you Kelley O’Hara, this is one reason why you’re my favorite player on this team.
I remember when football was non political. The good old days
Supporting black lives isn’t political
Since when have international sporting events not been political?
Too bad our country doesn't allow for that.
Black lives are not political
Ikr. I want to go back to 1958 and just see Pele play and everyone else. I wanna see how much fun everyone had and how much fun it actually had been. I want to see the 1991 World Cup where their was no social media to criticize and start hate. The good ol days
Ngl this makes me sad 😥
Makes me happy , I’m glad they had the courage to take a knee
Everyone Ertz and O'Hara both come from family that have been in the military. They both support Blm but they can't go against what their families have both done. They are both respected players who support BLM but in different ways than others. People have to respect them for that. Your respect for both of them should not go up or down it should stay the same. They both do support BLM but they also have a family connection to other choices. Please respect that.
Yeah I get what they’re coming from and I know they didn’t interpret it as like kneeling is a bad thing or anything. It’s just them not kneeling because they support their families and you really can’t say anything bad about that in any way.
When you're on the field, the family is your team. By not kneeling it shows a lack of unity in the team.
@@tylerskikid No it doesn’t, it matters about the skill level they stand because in their hearts there family is there and their families have worked hard to keep them safe since of the army. It’s not that they don’t support it’s just that if they kneel they will be going behind their families backs. Also yes they are a family on the field but many people on the team have different choices and they are not all the same and they shouldn’t be.
@@tylerskikid yeaaaa not correct. Yes you team is your family and if you think that there is a lack of unity that’s incorrect. This “family” has talked with each other and supports each other. There is nothing wrong with anyone’s way of supporting from anyone on this team
Please tell me what GOOD the US Militrary has done???
Didn't the USOC state no kneeling during Anthem would be permitted?
That's what I thought too
That's against their rights. Wouldn't be very patriotic to limit free speech
Jame Smith what speech?
@@jamesmith1048 their game, their rules.
@@ApplePie-hv8lhexactly.. freedom of expression is a dbl edged sword.. they CAN stop this if they wanted to but they don’t want to.. “they” do this right before the end of every age when massive devastation is on the horizon. Plato wrote how just before the flood,the Atlanteans were “losing their essence” do to diversity. It’s a culture killer when those who offer nothing start picking at those who allow them a coattail to hang on to. That’s just history repeating itself (for the 6th time) and this will be the 6th and final earth destruction. Only this time it’s by fire. Just like the Bible said it would be.
Length of an “age” or aeon is- 2160 years.
216 is a derivative of 2160
6 x 6 x 6 = 216
Nibiru is real and we’ve photographed it dozens of times. It looks like and is referred to as the “red dragon”.
Jesus said the dragon would be here at “the end of this age”.
🔥 🔥 “global warming” lol 😆
Love those two women 💪
@@devinmcgroot7560 yes
@@kalebkroeger5550 shut up like ofc they would wear it because it’s something they believe in
Why don't they ever sing?? Ertz was the only one who sang. If they support the USA, they can sing and support BLM with a kneel. If you watch other countries...they mostly sing...I just don't understand.
I’m just glad that Ertz stood. Always liked her!
Becky Sauerbrunn was also singing.
@@canuckgirl1624 thank you for pointing that out. I missed it.
We don't kneel a lot in other countries because in other countries we don't have cops killing black people for no reason
@@justvincent555 meeeeeh trust me bro in other countries we can dissociate social issues from the love for our flag. You guys think history started the day you were born. That's why the rest of the world is making fun of you guys.
Why didn't they choose to kneel before the kickoff instead? Genuine question, not dissing. I just don't understand why didn't they choose to use it the other way around.
Respect for these women standing for their National Anthem. Much Love from India ❤️🙏🏼
Stand for the National Anthem
I enjoy living in a free country where one can choose whether or not they'd like to stand or kneel for the anthem
@TrevThiccy You said it yourself...they died so Americans could exercise their freedoms and that is exactly what Americans are doing here. If you don't like the exercise of individual liberties then you are the one that has an issue with America.
@@zlo8389 dude it’s a sign of respect. Of course anyone could chose to be a disrespectful person, but why would you want to do that anyways??
@@zlo8389 they are hypocrites and they have been like that centuries they expect minorities to be loyal to a song written by a racist but the government itself is not loyal to thousands of minorities who served in the army who came back and were discriminated by the same country they were serving shame on the hypocrisy who cares about a national anthem
@@Cashcash69 Luckily, Americans have the freedom to choose what we regard as respectful behavior and what we regard as disrespectful behavior. Their choice to sit does not affect your choice to stand.
O Hara and Ertz well done 👍 .honor what deserves honor. Your respect for this country was the best thing about this game. I applaud you both. Thank you for representing your country as it deserves.
They both support BLM. They just chose not to kneel. They still supported their teammates. Watch a different game and you will see Ertz comforting her teamates while kneeling. Both support the movement but choose not to do the kneeling. Those that do choose to deserve just as much respect, they are acknowledging that things need to be fixed in our country. To say they do not is ignorant.
Ha!
@@alexandriamason1422 I agree but do to honestly think anything is gonna help with racism? That's never going to go away no matter what happens
@@joshg4953 actually yes. It is a big screen. Lots of people watch. They are influential. Each viewer sees it and many talk about it, hence starting more conversations about racism. In turn, these conversations turn into protests, which turn into legislation, which won’t fix everything but will certainly help. What happens or what someone’s idol does often directly or indirectly impacts that person. Not to mention their massive follower base. So yes, I do think it makes a difference.
@@alexandriamason1422 well you might think that but I certainly don't. Disrespecting the flag and nation you choose to live in and play for is just dumb. They clearly don't like the country. Racism isn't going to end. Please see that. It doesn't matter what anyone does, racism is always going to be here
I'm glad Julie Ertz and Kelly stayed standing.
Nothing but respect for Kelley and Ertz. The National Anthem is more than just a song to many people, myself included.
Anytime they want to leave millions of Americans will help them pack
They should be forced to leave and not return! Send them to a country they presume is so much better and then deny access back when they find out there’s real things to fear and be angry about in the world
Thank you Kelley O'Hara and Julie Ertz for standing for the Flag Respect.

I’m here to listen to the song.
it takes a lot of courage for them to do this, so much respect for the ladies that kneeled.
Why does it take courage?
@ny2018 no. i said what i said. it takes courage to kneel because they have the balls to recognize that this is NOT a perfect country. they know what they’re kneeling for on that field and they know they’ll get hate but their purpose is much greater than internet trolls.
@@sarahmartinez8907 Where is the hate they're getting? Almost everyone recognizes this isn't a perfect country.
@@thatleftyjames2893 look at any comments on the picture of these ladies kneeling. check literally anywhere, everyone saying how shameful it is that they’re not standing. and no unfortunately most americans do not admit this countries atrocities
@@sarahmartinez8907 All I see is people like you making them victims and acting like it's incredibly brave.
Why can’t they support both? Those 2 are wearing a jacket says Black Lives Matter, and that is very self explanatory. They remained standing in support of their love ones who are in the Military. ( obviously they can’t stand and kneel at the time🤔).
These are 2 great players and I support them, the way I support those who are kneeling. All of them played one common goal, to play for our country, and they doing a great job, how many wins do they have now, and we should be proud of them.
Thank you someone had to say it, like they are showing support to their own family’s that have served for America( as a Canadian I feel as if they did not do anything wrong) they both still fully understand and support blm
@TrevThiccy that makes no sense what u just said
I wonder, why can’t they kneel after the anthem like some teams did during the Euro 2021
2 are standing
As an American I am so proud of these young women.
This team is a class act.. I've always been proud of them.
Are you proud of the 2 players standing for the anthem? Just curious.

Thank you Kelly and Julie for standing and respecting this country
no
Thanks Julie and Kelly keep it up
All of them are respecting the country, just in different ways. Exercising the freedom to kneel is a respecting the freedom to do so, and it is respecting that it is our responsibility to work as citizens to call-out our country when not all people are being served, and to have the courage to work to change it.
lol the ones that are kneeling are educated and respectful. We will stand when our country has come together!
Yeah thanks Kelly and Julie for supporting racism
My respect for the ladies who stand
Absolutely. Kelly O'Hara also ran to pick up the United States flag when someone on the team dropped it.
Major respect for Ertz and O’Hara
Why
@@idakhan7785 because they know it’s not racist to stand for the anthem. I’m not against the people kneeling because that’s their right but now you get hate and get called a racist for standing for your own country for some reason.
@@crawfish19 wait so what does standing represent and what does kneeling exactly represent with the anthem
@@idakhan7785 standing represents respect for the country and our soldiers. Kneeling is a form of protest for social justice. However, there are many ways to protest nonviolently. You can stand for the anthem and protest for black lives in your own way.
@@crawfish19 Not kneeling shows you don't care about black lives, especially seeing as the ones that do don't do anything for black lives. It has NOTHING to do with the military, stop pretending it does.
Just gained a lot of respect for Ertz and that other player who stood. Coming from a military background myself I can’t and won’t ever kneel for the anthem, call it racist I don’t care it’s my right to stand just as it’s yours to kneel
It has nothing to do with whether or not they respect the military. It's about the systematic injustice in our country.
@@maya_coqsalonga give me proof that there is systemic injustice.
The other player was Kelley O’Hara. Last year after they won the World Cup she rushed over to pick up an American flag that some of her teammates had dropped on the ground for a photo-op. Love her!
@@maya_coqsalonga kneeling during the national anthem doesn’t fix systematic racism tho

I think coach messed up Ali Krieger one of the best defensive players not on the team. A huge loss that first game you can see the difference. And they only put Julie in at the second half. Ali one of the best defensive passers down the field hands down!
I miss her so much
I liked the one on a knee with her hand on her heart. She didn't know what way to go.
Julie and kelly know
What are they protesting for? More pay, trans rights or BLM?
This is powerful. USWNT is more than just playing the game. They speak out and speak for what they believe. First equal pay, BLM and many more. As an English I have nothing but the upmost respect ✊
As I am not feel guilty for someone bad behaviour I am not even reached by anyone personal choice. Judge my ex..
Everything but equal pay I can agree that they should be proud to fight for, they were offered the same deal as the men and turned it down. They were actually being paid more per person than the men. I love the team, but the media did misconstrue that court case.

Aww no Alex Morgan I thought you were cool!
it was in protest
Me too, little disappointment.
Why are they all wearing BLM shirts anyways?
Respect to the ones who didn't kneel and stood for the national anthem!
I believe it’s important to see that people have different viewpoints / kneel or not to kneel...
They are teammates on the pitch.
Julie is hands down the national teams best all around player and chooses not to kneel..
Don’t hate peeps ...
Unite...
So BFD she's the best player. What has that to do with the issue?
I think they can do whatever they want as long as they're not wearing a USA jersey. Total disrespect to all Americans who care.
I don't believe, though, in messing with the flag nor anthem; however, they can take a minute of silence to pose or kneel in their way -- *away from the anthem,* as they do in the EPL.
Hi there, great footage, do you own the copyright?
What are they protesting about? Does anyone know?
If i am correct it is against police brutality that is specially difficult for black people in the US. At that time, a man named george floyd has been killed by a police office who put his.knee on floyd's neck and choked him. The police officer suffered no real consequence while it was proven that Floyd did not represent a menace that needed that much violence
This is how I perceive this situation:
- The players are completely free to express their objection to standing for the flag and should not be prevented from doing so
- the action (in my opinion) is disrespectful to the fallen soldiers, and if people believe the same way, they can express their anger/disapproval as much as they want towards the kneelers (without physically preventing them from Kneeling)
All in all, Kneeling should be allowed but people disrespecting or mocking someone for doing it should be allowed as well since both as examples of free expression
And to this I say go netherlands
I always want America to loose now. Except I hope Kelly and Julie do good and that they are proud of their selves.
Oh, I'm so disappointed in Julie and Kelley... I don't think they're bad people or anything, but it will sting for a while that they weren't able to see the importance of this cause and join their teammates in protest, especially when they are standing right next to Crystal, Lynn and Christen.
They both had families in the military and still support BLM, they’re not going to go against their families beliefs.
@@seankassner4993 Why not? There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with your family, only it takes courage to face them and stand for your beliefs
@@seankassner4993 standing during the national anthem does not equal to disrespecting veterans. Your forgetting that kneeling during the anthem has been long done before BLM as a form of protest - and the people that told BLM to kneel was veterans themselves
@@Dsalam1231 You have no brain either
@@daniescobarm there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with your teammates stance, it takes real courage to do what you believe in when it's the unpopular choice. Also as a veteran, I fully disagree with kneeling for the anthem, but 1 thousand percent support a person's right to kneel. I fought long and hard in far away lands to keep terrorists from coming here and imposing their will in the American people. One of the most important things i fought for was a person's right to do things i disagree with. I'm not protesting the team, I'm not disappointed, I'm not mad. I just think EVERY player should be allowed to practice their view as they see fit without criticism. Kneeling or not, I support the USWNT. Go, Fight, Win America

Why did they “disappoint” you. Someone shouldn’t disappoint you because of their difference of opinion. I’m sorry, but this is the United States of America, and as of 2020 we should be able to respect each other‘s opinions no matter how different they are without being “disappointed”.

You are divided as the left started using violence as they cannot win the argument with words. That is the sad truth, both sides lie and politically both sides have good points but only 1 is promoting violence and hatred at this time. The left in the USA needs to stop supporting the violence. That is my perspective.
All this virtue signaling bullshit like kneeling does not help either, it just pisses people off.

RoadRage kneeling shows that we notice the major issues minorities are facing in america. that’s also why we are protesting.
@@roadrage9191 who is defunding the police? not biden. the left voted for biden because we need a president who actually realizes the issues with the police system.

Conservatives are against athletes doing anything political. Especially if it goes against their beliefs. So they argue that kneeling is disrespectful.
@@reversebruce7937 it's not disrespectful. Kneeling was started by Colin Kapernick who asked a service man how best to peacefully protest and the military vet suggested kneeling.

Submission to nothing and no one.
Why didn't the 2 girls not kneel....USWNT so united but yet divided because of this 2 girls
They didn't kneel because they're not sheep!
not divided at all - there is a mutual respect so individual differences in expressions of belief is understood and supported.
Wow not correct at all
Bruh you don’t have to do something just because everyone else on the team is doing it.
they don’t have to follow what everyone else does, let other people have an opinion and let them respect our veterans in peace thank you.
Canada rocks.
Ertz and O’Hara, I now respect them so much💕 You can support BLM I support it but kneeling for the NATIONAL ANTHEM, really? People fought for you and you kneel for the national anthem
Hats off to the women peacefully protesting the injustices we are faced with everyday
Everyone has a different opinion but I respect the ladies that kneeled more
Respect to Julie and Kelley for standing . They are the true patriots of the USWNT
Bull....
I totally agree go Julie and Kelley!! ❤️🇺🇸
❤️
Meh!
Thanks much!
Not going to comment on the politics of this...everyone must decide what they beleive in and make a choice. But women's soccer has been fighting for its life as a viable business over the last few years. Several of the clubs have folded and others are operating near the break even point. If this protest alienates even a small precentage of fans, and it surely will, that could result in taking a bite out of the sport's bottom line resulting in less opportunities for women to play professional soccer. Look at the hit the more established men's sports have taken as a result of similar protests. I love these athletes...they play with such passion, but I wonder if that same passion may have negative collateral impacts they have not fuly considered. I hope I am wrong, but fear I am not.
What "hit" sports more than covid19? Either way, you always gain some and lose some but everyone is entitled to be their own champion and stand or kneel for what they choose to.
I don’t think fans of women’s soccer will care. It might actually start more conversations.
The NWSL in the US had over a 200% increase in viewership over last year and almost all of the ladies were kneeling during the national anthem. JS
@@Spyrnight Some of that NWSL viewership bump was certainly due to not being able to attend the games in person. As noted before...I hope I am wrong...but men's professional football and basketball are now questioning how they could have addressed this without losing money and they did lose money...lots of it even before COVID. I think I share the opinion with most commenting here that women's profesional soccer has a far different fan base than the big men's sports. So maybe this will work to their benefit...I hope so. But it's hard to also lobby for pay equality if your actions are taking a bite out of the bottom line.
