Kid on our team is Mexican but dad is blond blue eyed and mom looks like Charlize Theron , got here , legally , about 5 years ago- white as white can be - if their kid gets picked to NT will the blonde blue eyed Mexican be considered a minority?
Asking here since we have race baiters I mean race experts

France kicked their a55 3-1 and should have been worse last January. Both Rapinoe and Heath on the bench. Mal started and sucked.
Next game...barely got by Spain 1-0. Rapinoe and Heath only played a half.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, but Crystal Dunn did get cut in 2015 for lesser white players. Not racism. Explain.
I’m assuming you are complaining that Abby was on the team instead of Dunn? I’m not a huge Abby fan, and she was at the end of her career, but it’s impossible to argue what she brought to the team as far as leadership, experience, AND most importantly an aerial threat offensively. She has more header goals than anyone in history! I’m sure having someone on the bench that brings that to the game...especially for a team that plays so direct... was a major factor in her making the roster. Is Dunn good in the air?

Us does not want darker skin people to out shine the whites. That is a fact. Rapinoe is only there because she a white lesbian. Pugh could easily replace her. Morgan is the face of uswnt because she a pretty white girl. Dunn can easily replace her.
You should watch more games with an objective eye and not just blindly support someone because of the color of their skin.
I love Dunn. Would love to see her get a chance over Rapinoe...who I think is vastly over rated. Hope it happens, but it won’t. The new coach loves Rapinoe and coached her in Nwsl. Maybe she’ll get a shot as a winger on Tobins side. Both those two have some injury issues, so never know.

However, coaches have to make some tough decisions on what different players bring to the team in different situations. It’s not always about picking the 5 best forwards.

Abby was the leader in the locker room. An undeniable presence. She is the all time leading scorer. Was she past her prime? Absolutely. But, if you think the only reason she made the roster was because she’s white...well, that’s sad.
What your argument about Mal? That she doesn’t actually suck right now? You are wrong.

It’s not just Abby but every player on the roster that was not as good as her. Why her? The black player. If she was white she makes the team.

Not gonna happen, she s always on rapinoe side to serve her the ball, and pay attention to Rapinoe celebration after Dunn opens up a good opportunity for her to score. That’s all you need to know

Most of the players are interchangeable- except for a couple of the skill players who can get past 1 v 2s and 1 v 3s - it’s all pretty much same prototype
It’s even like that on the men’s side

Who specifically should she have been picked over?
Every other forward? No way.
