Fox News host Jesse Watters said unnamed "people" have told him that soccer star Megan Rapinoe is a "traitor in the war on women" and that he has "done more for women's sports" than the two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist.
Watters said during the Tuesday edition of Fox News' The Five that some have said that he had trumped Rapinoe's accomplishments by fighting "valiantly" on behalf of women in "the war against women," stressing that he was not personally making the claim but it was "something that's being said."

"We as a country are trying to legislate away people's full humanity," Rapinoe said. "It's particularly frustrating when women's sports is weaponized."
"Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women's sports?" she continued. "That's total bulls***. And show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It's just not happening."

"Some people have told me that I have actually done more for women's sports than Megan Rapinoe has done," Watters said. "[They said] that maybe she's a traitor in the war on women."
"And I have fought valiantly in that war, obviously on the women's side," he continued. "That's not me saying that, and I actually disagree with that ... I'm just saying it's something that's being said."
Newsweek reached out for comment to Rapinoe's agent and the U.S. Soccer Federation via email on Tuesday.
Watters also said, without evidence, that Rapinoe was secretly opposed to trans women participating in women's sports, arguing that she would "never be OK with" being replaced with "a guy."
Rapinoe rejected the same scenario in her Time interview, calling the framing of the argument "extremely transphobic.

It must be illiterate.
There are accounts of that exact thing happening almost daily.
Women being canceled yet again.
Yes, there is a war on women and you are advocating for it.
Meghan Rapinoe, a profile in courage:
” I would like to see transgenders on the Women’s National Team Roster and in Women’s soccer.”
“Oh, by the way, I am retiring.”
Meghan Rapinoe, a profile in feminist insanity.
Quote: “Meghan Rapinoe, a profile in feminist insanity.”
A profile in maoism. I am, at some level, enjoying watching the left eat their own causes. Feminism is being eaten by men pretending to be women. And alleged feminists are siding with it because their maoist masters demand that they do it for the sake of “shaking things up.” Rapinoe is so programmed that she can’t even see she is destroying everything she fought for.
Equal pay for the women’s national team? Cool. And now some mediocre male soccer player can partake in that pay by just pretending to be a woman. Awesome. Thanks Meghan.
Megan does not have a mangina so she should get the woke sledge hammer.
There's that term again.
There's that term again.
It’s just Jesse being satirical again. He always does that.

That dude with the purple hair sure seems to be in the news a lot lately. I guess he’s feeling the need for attention?
