I love watching the US Women's team. Actually, I loved watching. They won't see my TV again until this stops.
She can stay in the locker room until the anthem is over. She can sit on the bench. She can be removed from the team. Either of those 3, and I'll watch again.
If she wants to be an activist again racism, for equal rights for all people, against human trafficking, in favor of Pokemon, PETA, guns/anti-guns, cops, democrats, republicans, taxes, North Korea, Mexico, Syria, etc. Let her do it. I may even support her. But do it on your own time and not while an active member of the US National Team.
Or at least be original. Don't copy some other form of protest by someone more famous that you to get yourself in the spotlight.
You think the flag is bad- don't wear the USA Jersey. Put a piece of tape over the US soccer crest.
Running up to the World Cup, she was my favorite player on the team. I love her work rate and talent.
The Equal Pay Movement may have just died because of this. I was in support of the women getting paid the same as the men for National team play.
Now I'm not sure I care.
