Here we go again. Tim Howard: "... having American roots doesn’t mean you are passionate about playing for that country.”
All this anti-foreigner rhetoric on behalf of old ass nads is oddly concurrent with the rise of pumpkinführer.
Jermaine Jones responds to Howard’s Abby Wambach impersonation… Tim Howard's U.S. commitment comments 'dangerous stuff' - Jones It’s interesting that Howard, as a player who took a whole year off from the USMNT after the 2014 World Cup, feels the need to launch xenophobe attacks against foreign-born players, who never declined a call-up. While Yanks are now, again, trying to downplay Howard’s comments, let’s remember what the guy said after Mexico’s 2011 Gold Cup win: "CONCACAF should be ashamed of themselves. I think it was a f*ckin’ disgrace that the entire postmatch ceremony was in Spanish. You can bet your ass that if we were in Mexico City, it wouldn't be all in English." With jingoistic numb nuts like him, Wambach, Arena or Hope Solo running their mouths, Howard might get his wish of 80 percent MLS players on the 2018 USMNT. I feel bad for every unsuspecting dual national who has to put up with these xenophobe rednecks.
No one said anything about "feeling" for him. A broken clock is right twice per day. He got this right and good for him. JJ strikes me as one of those types that would ignore this kind of nonsense and respond with some "kumbaya" tripe. He didn't do that and I applaud him for it.
Howard's comments looking more off color with the controversial president elects nationalist beliefs But of course the mickey mouse soccer media in the states will slide this under the rug quietly and quickly like always
Bob Bradley would've lost vs liverpool today...so yeah..its not the players...its the shitty american coach lol
