You were really punished shortly after you know the US soccer team released the statement saying it expected players to stand for the anthem. With the exception of a training camp you attended in November, you wouldn't be invited to train with the team again that winter or the following spring. How did you manage through this time not playing and being punished in such a public and vindictive way? It was very difficult. I have an amazing group of people around me from my family who didn't always share my views certainly but always supported me.
