Actions are not politics. Their conduct has been disgusting in the past, and again currently.
HISTORY via Newsweek:
Among the players who stayed silent was forward Megan Rapinoe, who ahead of the 2019 World Cup told Yahoo Sports that she was probably never going to sing the national anthem again. The player was the first in the team to kneel down during the anthem following NFL player Colin Kaepernick's protest against racial injustice in 2016, and the first white athlete to do so.
PRESENT ACTIONS:
Stand in silence for the national anthem as most other coaches and fans sing along. Many looking down or elsewhere, other than at the flag. As if they cannot tolerate being there. That's not how people act who are proud of the country they represent in front of the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, Vietnam team shown clearly proud of their country and national anthem and were all singing it.
