It appears I was right (again). How many soccer players took a knee because this overbearing blowhard pressured them too? She’s toxic and should be ignored. Right Subway?
It’s been 7 minutes since the OP. I don’t like bullying regarding kneeling. People should kneel or not kneel based on their feelings, with no pressure.
I can’t speak for Firehouse, but there is no comparison between Subway and Jersey Mike’s subs. That’s like going from living in a tent to a colonial house. The true test of your willpower would be if it was the other way around.
"I’ve seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way, but it’s our right as Americans to do it in whatever way we’re comfortable with," she said while on All of Us: The U.S. Women’s Soccer Show last Tuesday.
No. This thread is about Megan being a bully as I predicted she was. I doubt she is a part time bully or a reformed bully. Nothing suggests that she is no longer bullying. I still get bully vibes. Which is why I said this in the first place.
.I think the kneeling thing can be very divisive," Solo added. “I’ve seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way.”
The timeline of Solo’s accusations, however, doesn’t seem to add up.
Rapinoe began kneeling during Seattle Reign games in September 2016 in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who started kneeling during the national anthem to speak out against police violence and racial injustice.
Meanwhile, the USWNT terminated Solo’s contract in August 2016 after she called the Sweden’s Olympic team “a bunch of cowards” following a penalty shoot-out loss. She was also Rapinoe’s teammate on the Reign at the time, but left the team for “personal leave” following her national team suspension.
Solo never played for the USWNT or an NWSL team after the 2016 Olympics.
