Trump says Megan Rapinoe’s silence during national anthem at World Cup is not appropriate
Megan Rapinoe, co-captain of the U.S. Women’s National Team and savior of U.S. hopes in Monday’s World Cup victory over Spain, regularly protests during the playing of the national anthem. In years past, she took a knee, a move reminiscent of NFL players protesting racial injustice prior to games. More recently, she’s remained silent during the anthem, hands clasped behind her back.
Rapinoe is an outspoken advocate for social causes — in a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, she called herself a “walking protest” — most recently, the cause of equal pay for equal work for the women’s team. Trump sidestepped that issue, saying that he has not yet taken a position on it. Rapinoe: Not a fan of TrumpRapinoe has no love for Trump; in interviews, she has called him “sexist,” “misogynistic,” “small-minded,” “racist” and “not a good person.” So it’s unlikely that criticism from the White House will sway her, even if — especially if — it intensifies.
