from Moonbattery:
It was sad to see America cheer that its own team had lost the World Cup in women’s soccer. Jason Whitlock explains why it was right to cheer:
On Sunday, with a chance to off Sweden with a penalty kick, Rapinoe missed the entire net wide right. She smirked and laughed in embarrassment. Two other U.S. women missed their kicks as well. But those women earned their spots on the roster. Rapinoe was on the team and on the field because of social pressure and a never-ending marketing campaign. She hadn’t earned the right to fail. The opportunity was bestowed on her.

Did the ultrapoliticized sports establishment learn from this? Doubtful:
When it was over, when the No. 1-ranked team in the world completed its epic collapse, supporters of “The Great Gay Hope” refused to pivot. ESPN aired a three-minute feature story on Rapinoe narrated by her “fiancee,” WNBA player Sue Bird.
ESPN is not about sports. It is about moonbattery. The same goes for all institutions that have been infiltrated, subverted, and subordinated to their agenda by leftists.
Rapinoe confirmed that she is less an athlete than a left-wing activist:
When asked for her greatest memory of her “legendary” career, she pointed to the lawsuit she and her teammates filed against the U.S. Soccer Federation over alleged pay inequality. Gender pay inequality is a myth and a lie, no different from other popular corporate media narratives like climate change and the alleged genocidal homicide of unarmed black men.
But the truth is irrelevant in the making of an Alphabet Mafia icon. Megan Rapinoe is the George Floyd of soccer.
Her narcissistic, anti-American pose corroded the team’s morale, resulting in the historic loss.
Could you imagine Joe Montana or Michael Jordan summarizing their careers by referencing a contract dispute?
Rapinoe is a fraud. She’s the Colin Kaepernick of soccer. Her attitude poisoned the women’s national soccer team. Let’s hope her side effects don’t linger.
Unfortunately, the side effects might. Leftists who find success pull the ladder up after them so that others can’t follow. The George Floyd/Colin Kaepernick of soccer pulls up the ladder by calling for men to be allowed to play on women’s teams. If this insanity prevails, the sport she exploited by using it to convert sexual perversion into fame and fortune will be destroyed for other women.
Or maybe the loss will help inspire us to finally reject the vile mentality Rapinoe personifies. We can hope. Also, we can laugh:
