Rapinoe says it is important for white and black athletes to stand together
On Sunday, Rapinoe said her gesture was a nod towards Kaepernick.
It was very intentional, Rapinoe told American Soccer Now after the game.
It was a little nod to Kaepernick and everything that hes standing for right now.
I think its actually pretty disgusting the way he was treated and the way that a lot of the media has covered it and made it about something that it absolutely isnt.

I want to see her get carried off the field in a stretcher. I will replay it over and over again in slow motion. Let it be so. /spit
With the 49ers visiting the Dolphins this week, San Franciscos Colin Kaepernick engaged in a conference call with members of the South Florida media. However, one reporter wanted to discuss something that happened in August, when Kaepernick wore a shirt that appeared to show support for Fidel Castro, which led to a tense exchange.
The shirt depicted scenes from a 1960 meeting between Castro and Malcolm X, and it bore the phrase, Like minds think alike. Kaepernick wore it to a news conference after the 49ers third preseason game, which was when his refusal to stand during the national anthem became a major national story.
