re: I will not be rooting for the USWNT this summer

Kneeling has historically been a sign of respect and that's why Kaepernick started the trend. I think he originally was just sitting on the bench, but an army vet convinced him to at least kneel. Rapinoe may be doing it as disrespect (I don't know), but the act itself isn't meant to be that.

All of the Army vet stuff may be true, but Kaep kneeling as a sign of respect is absolutely not the case.
