American Soccer Star Stays Mum During The Anthem

The U-S Womens' soccer team continues its' march through the Worl Cup tournament in France but one of its' stars is thumbing her nose at the National Anthem.

Co-Captain Megan Rapinoe has not taken part in the Anthem with teammates as she has stood idly with her hands at her sides and lips not moving during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner before the games.

Rapinoe, who's openly gay, said she was inspired by former Forty-Niners QB Colin Kaepernick who knelt during the National Anthem.

She also said her decision to bypass the Anthem is a statement against President Trump although she did not elaborate.
