There is no one taking a knee.
The only reason that psycho nut case Rapinoe won't take a knee is because the U.S. Soccer Federation passed a policy requiring all players and staff to stand during the anthems before national team matches in response to the anthem protests carried out by her.
When someone is "polite" (if that word can ever be used regarding USWNT) to their country only by legal compulsion, then they aren't worth our support.
