    I don't know. Sounds nuanced.

    It's like saying you don't like Mexican immigrants who commit crimes, or Muslim immigrants who commit acts of terror.

    If you say something like this, am I supposed to believe you don't hate all Mexicans or Muslims? I don't think so!

    We need Lena Dunham to weigh in, and we'll have white, liberal, female bingo.

    Hopefully Chelsea Clinton will send a tweet of support Amy's way.

    Who is Amy Wambach anyway?

    Not for nothing, but her name isn't Amy.

    I wouldn't know Abby Wambach from a Wampa.

    And neither would Chelsea Clinton.

    I assume soccer players, like soccer fans, would never think less of people who are different.

    I didn't say he was your hero. But let's be real here:

    The front-runner for a major American political party's nomination for president spews hate for foreigners every second of every day, and gets more and more support the more hateful he gets. Hate for foreigners, or anyone different from them in any way, is a desirable trait for a large segment of America.

    This is just slightly less important to the body politic than Tom Brady refusing to bad mouth Donald Trump.

    While jumping to the lead in the polls.

    You are mischaracterizing her statement. I agree with her on focusing on homegrown U.S. players on the team.

    Neil McCarthy built a strong little New Mexico State hoops program using the JUCO method. /non-sequitur
