They Said It
***
“I have a baby and I want him to look up to me and be proud of who I am and what I stand for. I think that speaks volumes to have other people who aren’t necessarily women of color to come and say, ‘No, something needs to change.’ I’m so honored to play with people like that. I remember someone saying something about Pinoe when she knelt about, ‘Oh, well you did it in front of 23 people in comparison to the NFL players doing it in front of thousands and on TV.’ And I think that what’s important is, for me in my heart, that’s the right thing to do.”
-Sydney Leroux on staying in the locker room during the national anthem (quotes via Susie Rantz for sounderatheart.com)
