President Donald Trump said that he finds U.S. soccer star and co-captain Megan Rapinoes silence during the national anthem to be inappropriate.
He told The Hill that he loves watching womens soccer, but would not agree that they deserve pay equal to the mens team.
I think a lot of it also has to do with the economics, Trump said. I mean who draws more, where is the money coming in. I know that when you have the great stars like [Cristiano] Ronaldo and some of these stars
that get paid a lot of money, but they draw hundreds of thousands of people.
Rapinoe likely couldnt care less how Trump misogynistic, racist and small minded, in her words views her behavior.
