Team US women’s soccer forward Megan Rapinoe unleashed in an interview with Eight by Eight yesterday stating,
“No fuckin’ I am going to White House”
Rapinoe further admits, she doesn’t even think if Team USA wins the World Cup, that the women’s team will even be invited. After having a President who has a history of wanting to grab women by the P****, what woman in her right mind, would want to go to the White House?
Let me answer that question for you. The women that voted for him.
Megan Rapinoe who has been on record protesting the injustices, racial prejudices, and gender inequalities of this country, remained silent for the national anthem during the world cup this year. Thus, Megan has also knelt in the past during the national anthem. Rapinoe has been on record admitting she is indeed a walking protest. She has all the qualities that represent US women’s soccer; resilience, bravery, personality. She stands against the prejudice views against not only the U.S. women’s soccer team, but against the LGBTQ community who she admitted happily that she is gay. According to Eight by Eight
“She took a pregame knee during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” thus becoming the first white professional athlete to show solidarity with Colin Kaepernick”
Her viewpoint shows that through different trials and tribulations she is willing to keep fighting for what is right and what she believes in. She is the voice and heartbeat for Team USA women’s soccer.
Donald Trump was quoted in an interview with The Hill, asserting he doesn’t agree with Megan Rapinoe actions, in reference to her not singing during the anthem, which is a form of protest. What is interesting here is that Trump in recent memory announced, any NFL football player that protested during the anthem shouldn’t be in this country.
In addition, in this same interview, he offers his highest praises for the women’s national team and loves watching women’s soccer. As a result, you disagree with Megan Rapinoe’s form of protest, you don’t think any player protesting the anthem should be in this country, but you love watching a team whose player has protested the anthem on numerous occasions. The audacity of 45 is preposterous.
Let’s take a dive into the issues here…
In March of this year, Team USA filed a lawsuit about pay discrimination. They want to make as much as men, which they have every right to want more money than they currently earn. Based on the results in the world cups, and FIFA events, the women should want to seek more salary incentives. They have two world cups in recent memory, to the men’s zero.
What really shows the hypocrisy of the Trump Administration is that White House counselor, Kellyanne Conway, admits she supports the notion of equal pay for work but then backtracks this sentiment cautioning the individuals who protest these issues should not politicize the issues.
In what world is she living in? You support women’s equal pay; you admit that there is an issue in this country, but then say the ladies should not make it a political issue? It’s an issue, regardless if you want to turn the cheek. If you listen closely to the statement from Conway, Does it or does it not sound like the same phrase that “Trumpettes” shout out,
“Do it on your own time”
The craziest thing though is I believe Trump thinks Rapinoe is black. Why else would he bring up the NBA and Black Unemployment? It doesn’t make any sense at all.
