Megan Rapinoe and Seattle Reign visit Washington Spirit on Wednesday

Washington Spirit vs. Seattle Reign

Where: Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds.

When: 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Records: Spirit 11-3-3, 36 points; Reign 6-5-6, 24 points.

RAPINOE’S VISIT: Megan Rapinoe has always been a central figure on the field, whether for the Reign or the world champion U.S. national team. On Sunday, she drew attention before a match at Chicago by kneeling during the national anthem — a “little nod,” as she called it, to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has declined to stand for the “Star-Spangled Banner” to protest the treatment of blacks and other minorities.
