Makes my blood boil. This isn’t some club league team. If you can’t represent you country with respect then don’t be on the team.
This is so arrogant and narcissistic, all about “me me me”. Not understanding she is one of the most privileged people that has ever existed and being disrespectful to a country that has raised the standard of living for billions is pathetic.
What a snowflake. One person tainting an entire team, how incredibly selfish.

Here is Rapinoe’s comments about being forced to stand during national anthem:
She expressed her displeasure with U.S. soccer’s statement about the kneeling controversy and the federation’s decision to adopt a rule requiring players to “stand and honor the flag.”
“Using this blanketed patriotism as a defense against what the protest actually is was pretty cowardly. I think the NFL does it,” she told Yahoo Sports. “I felt like the statement from U.S. Soccer, and then the rule they made without ever talking to me, that was the same as what the NFL was doing – just to not have the conversation, to try to just stop me from doing what I’m doing instead of at least having a conversation, and trying to figure out a [solution] that makes sense for everyone.”
