One day after the International Olympic Committee said athletes cannot kneel at the 2020 Tokyo Games, U.S. Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe is speaking out.
In response to the IOC's decision, Rapinoe posted a message on her Instagram story on Friday.
"So much being done about the protests," Rapinoe said. "So little being done about what we are protesting about. We will not be silenced."
The IOC published guidelines on Thursday detailing what types of protests will be prohibited at the upcoming Olympic Games–no taking a knee, no hand gestures with political meaning and no disrespect at medal ceremonies.
