‘It was a little nod to Kaepernick’: Megan Rapinoe kneels for Star-Spangled Banner
World Cup winner says gesture was ‘very intentional’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 he’s standing for right now.
I think it’s 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 isn’t.
