The US Women's National Soccer team saw its World Cup chapter come to a close the other day. It ended on penalty kicks. They lost to the Swedish National Team who had been their nemesis for some time. USA today ascribed their demise to being "old and slow." They're right, but that's not all of it.
It was wonderful when the USWNT won the World Cup in 2019. All of the US supported them. Funny thing about notoriety, though. How you use it has so much effect on so many other things.

"Today, we wear Black Lives Matter to affirm human decency. We protest against racial injustice and police brutality against Black people.

Rapinoe apparently did a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot. I did not click on the story (wanting to preserve my eyes).
I anyone gives me a hard time on FR, I’ll start posting Rapinoe swimsuit photos. You’ve been warned!
Gonna be a great day when we stop hearing about this satanic degenerate dyke.

Same here. This is the very same purple-maned Megan Rapinoe we have known about for the last few years. Nothing new or shocking to report. I’m not getting why so many are suddenly lowering the boom on her now. And isn’t she retiring from competition anyway? We have bigger fish to fry than
Megan the Rapinoe. She’s yesterday’s news.
Does NOT know the meaning of notoriety
Wow! Ivan Drago has NOT aged well at all!
Poor Opie
I think she missed it on purpose...
She really tried to make the shot but missed. Laughed at the irony; she was not happy she missed.
Good ridence, have a great life but begone!
When will her 15 minutes be over already?
NOBODY today knows what “notoriety “ means.
