At least two players on the U.S. women’s soccer team have vowed not to visit the White House, and now a teammate was seen tossing the American flag on the ground amidst the World Cup celebration.
The Fox broadcast caught player Allie Long holding a flag, letting it drag on the ground before dropping it altogether.
@ALLIE_LONG I understand the excitement of the moment, but please NEVER disrespect the 🇺🇸 flag by dropping it on the ground! pic.twitter.com/OdPJqAP6r4

Star Megan Rapinoe was about to step on it before another teammate snatched it off the ground.
Rapinoe has come under criticism for refusing to stand during the National Anthem, instead opting to kneel in protest. She has vowed not to visit the White House should President Trump invite them. He already has.
The U.S. women’s team defeated Holland 2-0 on Sunday.
