  1. Then stay home.
    Pretty simple – if the IOC doesn’t want to be the megaphone for your “cause” take your “cause” elsewhere.
    The IOC should strip them of their medals if they violate the rules of conduct.
    And fine them into penury (or whatever it is they do).
    (disclaimer: I don’t pay any attention to the Olympics, so I don’t really GAF)

  2. As long as she insists on violating the rules and code of behavior she should be dropped from the team. She can protest all she wants but no one is required to provide her with a platform to do so. Her and her wifey should go to Iran, I heard that’s a good place to stir up some shit.

  3. In regular life, you protest on the job about your personal issues, they’ll fire you so you can protest at home all day long

    Isnt there on off button for lesbians?

  4. “If this political neutrality is not respected, then the Olympic Games will divide, and not unite, the world,”

    Exactly. It’s about World Games and sportsmanship.
    Not every stage is a platform for dissidents.
    But not to worry. Soccer is brutal on the knees.
    At 34, loudmouth Rapinoe is getting a little long in the tooth and those knees should be giving out any day now.
    But then we’ll have to endure her run at politics.
    She’ll just be one more obnoxious shitbird Democrat.

  5. Why is she going in the first place? Her team is inferior to probably 10,000+ teams, which includes every boy’s team age 12 and over! Drop the separate men’s and women’s teams and only send the best teams regardless of sex!

  6. Mixing sports and politics is what got us into the fake woman vs bio-woman competition BS in the first place.
    So, yeah, shut your yap about things that aren’t directly related to sports.
    And if you want to protest, don’t compete – that’s a silent protest.

  7. That rule had better be backed up with the threat of medals being withheld. Then her normal, decent, patriotic teammates will threaten to towel whip her to death in the locker room if she jeopardizes them.

  8. “So little being done about what we are protesting about.”

    …because that’s NOT what the Olympics are FOR or can DO, sweetie, but thanks for playing…

    …speaking of which, playing is ALL you were sent there to DO. That’s the ONLY way you represent the US. We do NOT agree with your meat-brain assertions otherwise…

  9. Sounds like the IOC is on a roll! Maybe they could ban purple hair while they are at it. I’m looking forward to a day when a transexual soccer player knocks Megan on her ass.

  10. It seems that the top athletes are generally not the ones pulling this stuff. Our best female soccer team got their asses kicked by a team of 15 year old boys. That’s the “elite” playing level these women have to achieve to be Olympic athletes. They have to shriek for political attention because their playing doesn’t merit any athletic enthusiasm. Now they’re annoying as well as boring.
