Should Rapinoe continue to receive USWNT call ups?

She's now embarrassed the USWNT in an international match
Yes, I know that nobody watches womens' matches outside of the WC and Olympics, but this is still a black eye for US Soccer, IMO.

It's just so dumb, already played out, and says everything about this day in age. Y'all knelt for the anthem...great, HUGE difference it's made in the world other than tightening the screws on an already tense country that thinks its problems are way bigger than they are.

she seems annoying.
kaepernick doing it doesn't really bother me, but when you are taking part in a NATIONAL team game, it only makes sense that you honor the NATIONAL anthem.
i still don't think i give a shite though.

People could follow the move that the owner of an opposing team did in regard to all of this controversy. He simply moved the anthem up and it had already been performed when the players walked out for the match. He stated that he was not going to give the player the opportunity to use the anthem as a stunt for her own personal grievances and to call attention to herself. Rapinoe was not happy.

It's not a big concern of mine.

I get the whole freedom of speech thing when she is playing for her club team. The national team is different to me.
Turned the game on right at the time they showed her kneeling.
Couldn't turn that shite off fast enough. Is rather watch mickey mouse club for 3 hours than support her arse.

I think the fact she did it knowing she would get all the attention,even though this game was really all about honoring the retiring Heather O'Reilly, shows how petty she really is.

frick her. She shouldnt get another call up ever

They're protesting the symbol of what gives them to right to protest. Seems ironic.
If they want to bring awareness to issues with justice or law enforcement, why not volunteer in inner cities where these injustices are taking place or pony up some of the money they earn from playing a game and dontate their cash to said inner cities.

I happened to have ESPN on earlier this week and she was doing an interview with Sportscenter and said that she won't support a country that is "one of the worst violators of human rights in the world." I immediately hoped the USWNT would lose every game from there on out until she wasn't part of the team.

If I was in charge I wouldn't let her. There are millions of girls dreaming to be in her position to represent their country of birth, and she doesn't even have the decency to stand at attention during the anthem. I think it's disrespectful to everyone. If you want to protest, fine. But don't do it during the national anthem. If you want to do that then you should get the hell out

You wear your country's shirt you stand up for the its anthem. She should never be called up again. She plays for all the little girls and boys that ever laced them up and dreamed of playing a sport for their country. If she wants to protest take it off the field. This country the one she is protesting gave her the opportunity to make a living playing a game.

She did nothing illegal, and is joining in a movement that may be controversial, but not illegal or hurting anyone.
As long as she is the best we have, or good enough to make the bench, then she deserves to play.

I shouldn't care but it's nigh impossible for me.
It's already been said in here multiple times, but she is playing for the National team. The United States WNT, which is entirely voluntary, yes? Yet, she kneels for the anthem, which is a symbol of the United States.
I can't fathom how in her mind she doesn't see an issue with it. "I'll kneel for my country's national anthem, but I'll don this shirt, crest, and colors, which represent my country."
frick. Love or hate it, but pick a fricking side, you twat.
