USWNT's Crystal Dunn feared being dropped if she joined Megan Rapinoe's kneeling protest
Posted Jun 18, 2020
United States soccer star Crystal Dunn said she was "scared" to kneel alongside Megan Rapinoe when her teammate protested racism and police brutality in 2016. "I remember telling her that I had to stand because I don't know what's going to happen. I'm scared for my job. I'm scared that it's going to look differently if a black girl on the team kneels."
