The Washington Spirit made the decision to prevent anyone from using the National Anthem as an opportunity to protest and drawing attention to themselves in doing so by playing the National Anthem while the teams were still in the locker room!

Opposing Team Prevents Soccer Star From Kneeling Again During National Anthem – See How She Reacts
"The Washington Spirit prevented Seattle midfielder Megan Rapinoe from kneeling again during the national anthem by altering its pregame ceremonies rather than “subject our fans and friends to the disrespect we feel such an act would represent.”
The National Women’s Soccer League team moved up the anthem, playing it while the teams were off the field at the Maryland SoccerPlex."
“To willingly allow anyone to hijack this tradition that means so much to millions of Americans and so many of our own fans for any cause would effectively be just as disrespectful as doing it ourselves,” the Spirit said in the statement.
----------------------------------
And what was the attention-desiring, nation-hating liberal's response?
"Rapinoe said she was saddened by the Spirit’s move, calling it “f***ing unbelievable. I think it was incredibly distasteful to say that I, four days before one of the worst tragedies we’ve had in our country … hijacked this event,” she added."
What's 'f*ing unbelievable' and 'distasteful' to me is the fact that she is pissed that - as she points out - 4 days before 'one of the worst tragedies we've had in our country' she is DENIED the opportunity to publicly disrespect the national anthem and this country.
With all due respect, Ms. Rapinoe...

Awww....a poor America-hating Lib missed the opportunity to protest her country - as she pointed out - 4 days before one of the biggest tragedies to happen in the US.
