and she was the only good defender we had and was gay, should she play even though she's not someone the rest of the team wants as a teammate? I'd say yes. I think the same the other way around.

It's funny that we teach our kids that "they have to respect the coach" and "they have to respect the ref" and "they have to get along with their teammates" and then they become pros and they get to act like f'n babies.

Honestly, if she had a problem with the USWNT jerseys, I think the USWNT has the right to sit her (just as NFL teams have a right to do whatever they like about the anthem fiasco). But making roster decisions in a sport where there is a bit of an objective measure of skill based on political beliefs is VERY dangerous.
