On Thursday, Megan Rapinoe decided to kneel as the USWNT destroyed Thailand 9-0 in a friendly. It marked the first time she had knelt while representing her country, as she continues to support Colin Kaepernick.

But U.S. Soccer decided to respond after the game. After trying to convince her not to kneel, they released a statement after she did it in Columbus, Ohio.

Nothing too harsh there, just saying how we should reflect upon our liberties and freedom that we all appreciate and that the expectation is that all players and coaches will stand.
