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.

Kind of premature to make such a statement. Is the team that dominant?
This is the team where the coach, captain, and several players are lesbians?
Needs some serious estrogen treatments....
Dumb, Idiot, Fool Lesbian, Megan Rapinoe....does not realize how lucky & blessed she is to be born and living in the USA. In most other places on Earth, this nutcase, twisted sister would be thrown off from the nearest high rise building and she would quickly discover that unlike the the Stairs, Escalators & Elevators, her sudden, deadly, stop in hitting the ground below will be fatal to her continuing life. Go figure this hateful witch out....”SAD”!!! She should pray to God Almighty for forgiveness and she should publicly apoligize to POTUS, Trump, who is far from being Anti-Gay!!!
“She should be removed from the team”
The whole team is implicit. They have enabled this. So has anyone tuning in to watch. So have the sponsors
Well mannered young lady, properly brought up.
LOL, if they lose, then I will say, “Yep Megan you’re right, you aren’t going to the f’ing White House!”
Sheeee looka lika man!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, women’s soccer is largely a negative force. It pains me to say it, as I have young female family members who enjoy playing the game. However, by now, it should be obvious to one and all that 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.
Not big on pulling against any US team but I’m afraid I gotta make an exception this time.
Her choice. Fine. My choice is not to watch.
They aren’t even American IMHO. I’m not sweating the decision to cheer for their defeat.
If they don't represent our country's values, they aren't "our" team.
Amen to that. What other sports team within the past year or so mouthed off about not going to the White House of they won; and they sound up getting their butts handed to them? Too bad for the rest of the team because of one hateful prima donna.
She is a looser as is the team that support her! I do not want her in my White House!!!
It’s ok sweetheart, you aren’t going to be f***ing invited.
Viva la France!!!!!
Is this the B squad or something? I watched the USA vs. Chile match a week or so ago and didn’t see any of these butch looking chicks/dudes. The ones I saw actually looked like normal heterosexual chick and kind of hot. I watched that whole game and no mention of this Megan Rapinoe tranny at all. I was wondering if I had the right sport. US women’s soccer, correct?
Whatever! They just need to loose. She is anti-American, so f*ck her and her “team.”
We don’t need ingrates “representing” our country!
