US soccer star Megan Rapinoe says she's 'not going to the f***g White House' if team wins World Cup
CNN ^ | 06/26/2019 | Amir Vera

American women's soccer co-captain Megan Rapinoe is not planning to go to the White House if the national team wins the World Cup.

A reporter from Eight by Eight, a soccer magazine that looks at the sport and its place in culture, asked Rapinoe if she was excited about going to the White House if her team wins the Women's World Cup.

"Psssh, I'm not going to the f*****g White House," she fired back before the reporter finished the question. "No. I'm not going to the White House. We're not gonna be invited. I doubt it."

The magazine posted the short interview clip Tuesday on Twitter.

The US national team is competing in the Women's World Cup, and plays host country France on Friday.

It's not the first time professional athletes have turned down a visit to the White House.

The Golden State Warriors swapped White House visit for African-American history museum.

The Golden State Warriors decided not to go to the White House last year after winning an NBA title. Before their scheduled visit, President Donald Trump revoked their invitation on Twitter.

Trump also canceled a visit from the 2018 Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles because of controversy over standing for the national anthem at games.

Rapinoe, one of the women's national team's co-captains, has been outspoken about social justice issues. In 2016, she was among the first white professional athletes to show solidarity with Colin Kaepernick when media first began reporting on his kneeling during the national anthem. Rapinoe knelt during a game a month after it was first noticed that Kaepernick was kneeling.

I guess I should have been clearer.
I meant not standing for National Anthem.
Disgusting to hear another player says
she won’t go to WH if they win either.

He's pissed because people keep mistaking him for Anderson Cooper.

From her use of foul language, she is surely a class act and a role model for young aspiring soccer players throughout America. Not.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, was this picture the B squad or something?

Looks like a bunch of misfit lesbians.

I don't know the deal about the other girl Alex Morgan but at least she's hot. Why isn't she (also missing is Julie Ertz) in the above picture? Like they have a lesbian squad and a hetero squad lol.

‘the U.S. women’s team and women’s pro teams function as a propaganda machine that stridently promotes lesbianism and political liberalism to young girls.’

they’re also quite strident about getting more money; and that idiot Martha MacCallum on FoxNews was saying they should get more than the men, because they’ve won twice and the men haven’t...

Just why does an American sporting event have to become a political statement? No one is stopping this person from practicing her sexuality, no one said she couldn’t play the FIFA because of her sexuality, she is on the world stage making an ass of herself and this country.. she is incapable of saying thank you to WE THE PEOPLE who are paying for and enabling her to participate. This sad creature thinks her sexuality is more important than an American flag and she doesn’t have a clue the heartbreaks and sacrifices made because she is so self-absorbed.

She had an opportunity to really promote her causes with class and dignity and thank the American flag for her freedom, instead she went the me, me, me route. What a selfish pig.

Never forget, this disgusting organization blackballed Jaelene Hinkle, a Christian soccer player, for refusing to wear “pride” colors.

This one has an unsettled mind.

She works her entire Sporting Life to achieve the goal of making Team USA, which is a team that represents her country which she apparently loaths.

I don’t follow the logic. But then again maybe there is no logic to follow to begin with.

Picture of a Butch who has no respect for her country, nor her team mates as she drags them into the mud. What a disgrace Megan Rapinoe is....I hope the team wins...M.R. can really show her colors.

And I am disgusted by my friends and family who continue to watch them despite their knowledge of this.

Just a suggestion that You avoid All the major Holidays with them. And when they ask why-Tell them.

She’s getting her ‘15 minutes’ the easy way. It’s just a chance for otherwise insignificant people to take a cheap shot at the President....and to score major suck points with an increasingly impressionable and unprofessional MSM.

It’s one set of stupid losers trying to impress another set of stupid losers.

I hope I live long enough to see a media that has SOME rational, adult discernment

Trump continues.

"I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose."

Do any of these hate negros and homos EVER define just what is their issue with Trump? If so, I must have missed it.
