33 y/o Soccer Star, Megan Rapinoe stuck to her guns and decided NOT to sing the NATIONAL ANTHEM ahead of their team's match against Thailand which was a huge blowout 13-0

She stood silent and stoned face as her teammates sung to the Star Spangled Banner

The midfielder went on to score a goal after that thumping 13-0 win

She was criticized by some on social media useres for her decision not to honour the anthem while others praised her

One person said "Megan Rapinoe needs to booted for her lack of patriotism. Why play for a country you hate?"

Another said "Megan Rapinoe is not singing the national anthem (because shes not allowed to kneel) and i love her so much it hurts"

Another said "So weird to have a scwol while your national anthem, the one that gave you the freedom to pretty much actually PLAY in ins this game. She doesn't belong wearing red, white and blue. Don't play for the USA if you can't respect it, don't respresent the USA if you hate it"

Megan said she would probably NEVR sing or honour the national anthem who said "I'll probably never put my hand over my heart. I'll probably never sing the national anthem again. It' skind of a good F you to any sort of inequality or bad sentiments that the Trump administration might have towards people who don't look exactly look like him"

She also preemptively declined the customary invite to the White H ouse from Trump if they win who said "I'm not going to fake it, hobnob with the president, who is clearly against so many things i am for and so many things i am actually am. I have no interest in extending our platform to him"

She previously visited then President Obama when they won the 2015 World Cup

She has become famous for her activism on and off the field as she was the firs white athlete to take a KNEE in solidarity with NFL QB Colin Kaepernick and said "I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties"

Rapinoe doesn't believe Trump cares about LGBTQ issues and is fake supporting the group since there is a large gay conservative population while legislating anti-gay issues to solidify his christian base.

Megan also calls Trump a sexist, misogynist, small minded racist and that she is a walking protest against his agenda

Do you think Trump actually cares about LGBTQ issues?

The national anthem sucks and is boring. Refusing to sing it isn't anti-patriotism or hate for America. It's just having good musical tastes.

I think Trump cares about as much as the average politician, he said gay men should be allowed to serve openly in the military in the 90's, while opposing same-sex marriage at the same time.

I think getting on the US for being anti-gay at an international event is weird when it's one of the best countries in the world in terms of that. Especially when Thailand would treat homosexuals as mentally into into the 2000's, and still haven't gotten the right to adopt among plenty of other benefits let alone gay marriage.

she feels like people judge her for being gay so she protests a flag. well that's her right but accomplishes nothing. an inanimate object isn't going to solve your bitterness. the real crime here is approaching 40 and having purple hair. grow the fuck up.

The idea that being critical of your country and expecting better means you "hate it" is the dumbest thing in the world. That's some NK shit. Blindly loving everything about a place just because you were born there is crazy. if things aren't good, call it out. If you have to take a more drastic approach to bring attention to those things, do it...It doesn't mean you hate the country. it means you care about it enough to want it to be better. If you disagree with their stance, then debate that, but don't just say "OMG YOU HATE THE COUNTRY!"...no, you fuckin idiots, she doesn't.

What a completely absurd take. You say flags are inanimate objects and meaningless and then turn around and complain about something as petty as hair color. Are you fucking serious? Exactly what thought process do you use when you decide something is important?

Terrible post. You ignore the point I made and decide to focus on one part because you didn't literally say something. It was implied by your post. Reading comprehension involves understanding more than what is literally said. But considering I called you out on being petty, it is no surprise that you continue to be petty.
