Couple things.
I don't think Rapinoe is kneeling for any one issue, but as a general discourse. I support that. Also, since you bring up money, female players earn a third less than male players on the same "team."

I'm ok with her not wearing the jersey for religious reasons. The jersey was just the numbers, if I remember right. I thought it was kind of silly to begin with.
