Matt Gaetz: US shouldn't have a national soccer team if players won't stand for national anthemA Republican congressman suggested the United States dispense with having a national soccer team after the U.S. Soccer Federation voted to repeal a 2017 policy that required players to stand during the national anthem.
U.S. Soccer's board of directors voted on Tuesday, reversing a rule adopted after star midfielder Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem before a match in 2016 in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who began the controversial protests against police brutality and racial inequality.

You shouldn’t get to play under our flag as our national team if you won’t stand when it is raised. [ link to twitter.com (secure)]
