I knew nothing about Rapinoe beyond that she was a fantastic soccer player when I saw her being interviewed a few years ago, but still thought, "What an arrogant asshole."

I guess I was right ;-)

I played soccer in grade and high school; Rapinoe is a friggin' nut if she doesn't think it's dangerous to let men play with women, even at a non-professional level. Or just getting paid enough to pretend.

Yeah, her post playing career will most likely take the form of paid speaking engagements, endorsement deals, and a guaranteed spot as a TV analyst. She has to spout the propaganda of she wants to cash in. I have zero doubt she totally buys into the anti-Trump, anti-flag stuff, but the trans stuff ? Nah, she has to know that it will lead to bad outcomes, but speaking against those outcomes doesn't put 0's in her bank account, so the girls who get screwed over can go take a hike.

POS. And I'll take bets once younger female players start having serious injuries she'll pretend she never pushed TiMs in women's soccer. That's why we ourselves have to remember who betrayed women.
