Test Case

Ghana just went up 2 - 1 on a penalty kick. The foul was very questionable. If we tie or lose this match, will USA fans whine about that call and the officiating?

Personally, I don't consider it "whining" when there is a real problem. In real life, if someone punches you, you don't have to whine. You have an opportunity to punch back. In the case of this soccer game, what can we do?

Kids whine when they don't get their way. When a group of people don't get their way in a political sense, it's called "protesting."

By the way, Mark Cuban would die of grief from all of the flopping going on.
