Carli Lloyd explains her refusal to kneel during Olympics and says Megan Rapinoe was a distraction
Former United States women’s national team captain Carli Lloyd was a guest on the new CBS show “Kickin’ It” with Kate Abdo, Clint Dempsey, Mo Edu and Charlie Davies. During the episode Lloyd shared why she refused to kneel at the Olympics and conversations she had with Megan Rapinoe back in 2016.
The cast of the show also had a short moment to discuss their reactions to Lloyd’s answers after she had left.
Two of the big questions that Abdo asked Lloyd were why she refused to take a knee before the bronze medal game vs. Australia and the feelings between her and Rapinoe.
