Megyn Kelly slams 'loser' Megan Rapinoe for laughing after World Cup loss: 'More concerned about her Nike checks'
2023-08-11
[NYPOST] Megyn Kelly was outraged that Megan Rapinoe appeared to be laughing and smiling after missing a crucial penalty kick in the US women’s team’s stunning ouster from the World Cup.

Rapinoe, the 38-year-old veteran and lightning rod over her activism, sailed her kick wide of the net, and the US was bounced from the quarterfinals by Sweden 5-4 in Sunday’s sudden-death shootout.

"She couldn’t execute," the former news anchor told listeners of her SiriusXM podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show" on Tuesday,

"She was too focused on her wokeism, it trickled down to her troops, and now they’re losers."

Rapinoe has been vocal on hot-button issues such as kneeling during the playing of the national anthem as well as allowing transgender women to play alongside biological women in sporting events.

Kelly called Rapinoe "the Mark Milley of soccer" — a reference to the country’s top military officer who has been criticized by conservatives for placing too much emphasis on "wokeness" in the armed forces.

#2  I didn’t want to watch them, but I have followed the team from the Mia Hamm beginnings of the team up until Rapinoe started kneeling and dunking her hair in KoolAid. So I did watch them play the Netherlands for a half. The team was out coached and the talent level of the European based players is better than the American pool. Rapinoe was the Lebron James of the team and ruined most of the goodwill that they had built up, but American dominance of women’s soccer is over and done regardless of her antics. The USA should be ranked in the lower half of the top ten going forward.

Just wanted to take a second to point out, it was her very activism which secured her a spot on the team which should have gone to a younger, more qualified player.

This all is not about bringing people up or about rights. It is about them protecting their paycheck.
