U.S. Soccer To Revisit Ban On Kneeling During National Anthem

The Soccer Federation Board is considering overturning a policy that bans kneeling during the anthem as a form of protest. This policy, adopted in 2017, was initially a response to Megan Rapinoe's protest in support of Colin Kaepernick. The reconsideration comes amid ongoing racial inequality protests following George Floyd's death. The board plans to vote on the change, which would need further approval from the Federation's National Council.
