‘It was a little nod to Kaepernick’: Megan Rapinoe kneels for Star-Spangled Banner

World Cup winner says gesture was ‘very intentional’

Rapinoe says it is important for white and black athletes to stand together

On Sunday, Rapinoe said her gesture was a nod towards Kaepernick.

“It was very intentional,” Rapinoe told American Soccer Now after the game.

“It was a little nod to Kaepernick and everything that he’s standing for right now.

I think it’s actually pretty disgusting the way he was treated and the way that a lot of the media has covered it and made it about something that it absolutely isn’t.

The media made it about something that it absolutely isn’t?? LOL!

Friggin snooze media, including conservative media, never once brought up the communist, cop-killer supporting angle. THAT is what Kaepernick's movement is about!
