She's a natural born leftie. Like at lot of aggrieved lefties, she was difficult from birth.
Of course, Yahoo! News gives her sympathetic and fawning coverage in this article. Sheesh

Her Flag is the Rainbow Flag, that’s the flag gays are loyal to.
In Soccer you are expected to sing the anthem. The camera pans on each player as the anthem is played. It’s a long-standing tradition.
Exactly right.
She ought to go to some Islamic paradise where people like her are thrown from rooftops. What an ungrateful puke.
I can’t believe this is getting network prime time play. It just goes to show the desperation of the Big Four for programming this is cheap, unscripted, and non-controversial. This time of year, TV really is a vast wasteland. At least in the middle of winter, it was only half vast.
She has a right to not sing. We have a right to dismiss her as unworthy of our attention.
Inequality and injustice? Try any one of the hundreds of other countries in this world for a few years, then get back to us.
Your argument makes sense. If you don't want to see Rapinoe, don't watch her. I also have an issue with the TV stations making this an issue by showing her during the anthem. This would all go away if they just focused on the flag. Which would make too much sense, I guess.

My main issue is hypocrisy. Go to a sporting event and you’ll see drunk idiots buying beer and high-fiving during the anthem. Then they’ll badmouth this soccer player because she only stood silently during the anthem. It must be really nice to have a life where THIS is what you can spend your time kvetching about.

Yes, indeed, some fans do act like idiots during national anthem...I am not happy with those people either.
I am just hoping that athletes representing United States to behave better than some idiotic fans.
I read that TV ratings for this WWC is better than 4 years ago...
I am thinking that majority of people are not bothered by Ms. Rapinoe’s behavior...
I would not be surprised if this WWC has best TV ratings ever...
I’m With you on all of that. Thanks for giving me a team to root for.
Thanks for getting me straight on the misunderstanding and misrepresentation, Yahoo News!
Well, yeah, except that previously, she kneeled, to support her homie Kapernick. She was told she couldn’t kneel, so she compromised by scowling. You go girl!
She was kneeling in the past until US Soccer told her to stop. They should have kicked her off the team.
U.S. Soccer admonishes Megan Rapinoe for kneeling during anthem before match
What inequality are the fags seeing?
They can have their agenda legislated against straights, they can get “married”, they can adopt kids, they have healthcare for “life partners”
What the hell? Rapinoe has ruined watching the World Cup for me, although I am not a soccer fan. Hope the USA team loses in the next few rounds.
