I'll look for links, but this has been going on for awhile, so... Rapinoe brought the kneeling during the national anthem issue to women's soccer. It was not well received. After she did it the first time during a league game, the owner of the next team they were playing at their home stadium had the anthem played before the players came onto the field so she couldn't use that opportunity to protest. US Soccer has made a rule against kneeling during the anthem. Currently, she says she will never sing the anthem nor put her hand on her heart so long as Trump is President, maybe not even after that. And she didn't - every other player did.
If you do a google search of Megan Rapinoe, I'm sure you will see a lot on this.
