The U.S. women’s national soccer team co-captain suspects few players would want to pay a visit to Donald Trump if they win the World Cup.
More than a week after Megan Rapinoe’s comment that she is “not going to the fucking White House” went viral, she said that few other players on the U.S. women’s national soccer team would go either.
Rapinoe was asked at the conference if any of her teammates would go to the White House if invited by Donald Trump, Agence France-Presse reports. Like Rapinoe, Krieger has also stated that she would refuse to visit the White House, in protest of Trump and his administration. Rapinoe’s initial remarks about refusing to go to the White House came a day after Trump had criticized her for protesting during the national anthem at games. When then-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick started taking a knee during the anthem in 2016 to protest racial inequality and police brutality, Rapinoe followed suit in solidarity a month later.
