Support for Colin Kaepernick is growing, even outside his own sport.
The 49ers quarterback created a stir by first sitting, then kneeling through the national anthem as his way of protesting discrimination and police brutality.
Sunday night, soccer star Megan Rapinoe joined the cause.
After the game, she said the decision was “a nod to Kaepernick.”
“I am disgusted with the way he has been treated and the fans and hatred he has received in all of this,” Rapinoe told espnW’s Julie Foudy. “It is overtly racist. ‘Stay in your place, black man.’ Just didn’t feel right to me. We need a more substantive conversation around race relations and the way people of color are treated.”
Rapinoe, who has won a gold medal and a World Cup as a member of the U.S. women’s national team, said she would continue to kneel in every match going forward.
