US Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe TAKES KNEE During National Anthem

US soccer star Megan Rapinoe kneels during national anthem before Seattle Reign’s game against Chicago Red Stars in ‘nod’ to NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Developing.

Rapinoe is internationally known for her crafty style of play and her precise cross to Abby Wambach in the 122nd minute of the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinals against Brazil, which resulted in an equalizer goal and eventual win for the Americans after a penalty kick shootout. During the 2012 London Olympics, she scored three goals and tallied a team-high four assists to lead the United States to a gold medal. She is the first player, male or female, to score a Goal Olimpico at the Olympic Games.
