What They're Saying: Unnamed Washington Spirit employee

• by Soccer America , Sep 8, 2016

"This is what hijacking something actually looks like. Megan Rapinoe has the right to express herself. PICKLE, out."

-- Washington Spirit tweet, written by a Spirit employee and since deleted, protesting the post on the club's same Twitter account by Washington Spirit owner Bill Lynch, explaining why the NWSL club wouldn't allow Rapinoe to "hijack" Wednesday's NWSL game and switched up the order of the playing of the national anthem so Rapinoe couldn't kneel in protest. The Washington Post reported the Spirit employee then resigned. (Twitter @AdamResinger)
