This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

If they remove her then every post from every player should by Raoul

be scrutinized by a review board for possible offense to anyone. And if any post was deemed offensive in any way, then remove the person. No apologies can suffice.

Or, we can move forward. Which do people want? In many ways the USWNT is lucky this has stayed quiet since the initial dust-up. Lots of media covered the story and the apology and let it go at that. But then it continues to percolate under the radar with the possible removal. They remove her it will blow up big time. Do they want that?

Again, it may be we need two teams, not one. If they remove her we may see that happen with politicians getting involved.
