She' s just another over rated athlete who thinks her opinion really matters. As far as "Ugly Americans"...I notice no matter how "loud" or "rude" or "gregarious" we are...it doesn't stop them from taking our money, while visiting their proper country!! Decline in tourism would put a hurting on them!!!

Up. Identified. Lase. Fire. On the way.
What bothers me about the USWNT's antics (game-related, politically-related, etc. in this World Cup window) is the absolute silence of opposing opinion from anyone associated with the team (past or present).
Does this mean they all agree with Rapinoe? Sad, if true. If they are "fearful" in some form or fashion, then even sadder.
As I noted previously, she's a "vulgar disgrace." Confirmed by her "performance" in NYC yesterday. That the current team (players and staff) seemed to find her antics yesterday funny (from the various videos I've seen) seems to confirm that they agree with her. Thus, sad.
Great role models for our daughters
(unless, of course, one does believe this is proper modeling because the goal is to create athletes who are also self-indulgent, spoiled, boorish, little monsters).Finally, in one more piece of "news" that confirms the end is near:
Megan Rapinoe posters were vandalized. NYPD is investigating as a possible hate crime
The New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after posters of USA soccer star Megan Rapinoe were vandalized in a subway station.

There certainly hasn't been absolute silence. Sports pundits had entire segments on the "antics" of the team throughout the tournament. Specifically after the Thailand game.

Yep, how anybody can think this miserable, foulmouthed, egotistical person is a good role model for anything is beyond me.What bothers me about the USWNT's antics (game-related, politically-related, etc. in this World Cup window) is the absolute silence of opposing opinion from anyone associated with the team (past or present).

By this, "absolute silence of opposing opinion from anyone associated with the team (past or present)" I was speaking about team members, rather than pundits. If you know of team members speaking out I would appreciate you posting about it. TIA!
