Megan Rapinoe, a forward in the U.S Women's Soccer Team's Women's Soccer Team's, has reacted against former President Donald Trump's comments regarding women. Although she seemed upset more than angry, Rapinoe clearly was dissatisfied at Trump. She had criticised Trump's comments that women were "woken" by his remarks and that they are "bad". He also said that women would perform poorly.
Trump feud with Rapinoe
Megan Rapinoe is a vocal critic of President Trump's government. Her latest tweet is no different. In 2016, Rapinoe became the first high-profile athlete to kneel during the national anthem, voicing her protest against racial oppression and police brutality against black people. Trump became furious at Rapinoe's comment.
Rapinoe described herself in 2019 as a "walking protest" against the former President Donald Trump. After winning the World Cup she refused to go to the White House, citing her "inequity". Rapinoe later apologised, but she has continued to speak out about social justice issues as well as the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Rapinoe's criticism of Trump is much less strident than that directed at Kaepernick. Trump has not asked Rapinoe to leave, but Kaepernick called her anti-American. Although both have been criticised, the differences between them are striking. Rapinoe is a white woman who has been described as unpatriotic.
Trump's criticisms about the women's team in soccer
Megan Rapinoe was a US women’s soccer player. She has come under fire by the Trump administration for several reasons. The 36-yearold has earned a reputation as a social activist. In 2016, she kneeled for the national anthem prior to an NWSL soccer match. Rapinoe, who is a strong advocate for LGBT organizations and owns an apparel line that is gender-neutral, has been vocal in her support of many LGBT organizations. She has been vocally critical Trump's policy and supported Senator Elizabeth Warren during this 2020 Democratic primary.
Women's soccer is an important platform to advance social justice. Women's Soccer has always been a place where you can express your beliefs, whether you are a woman or man. Trump's inhumane treatment of women's soccer players is a proof of his own unlegitimacy. It will continue to be a powerful force for positive change as long as women's football is played.
Rapinoe supports Kaepernick
Although Meghan Rapinoe doesn't have a lot of attention, some people were surprised at her support for Colin Kaepernick. Since last fall, when Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem, the former American football player has been standing in solidarity with him. Rapinoe is known for her actions, which have caused some ire in the Oval Office. Rapinoe has been vocal in her support for the LGBTQ community, and is a strong advocate of equal pay for equal labor.
Rapinoe’s support of Kapernick has also been notable because she is a person with a personal history. Her family was supportive of her protest, despite the dangers involved. Although many condemned Rapinoe's actions, she remained determined to support her fellow athletes. She stood up for her beliefs and fought racism in the NBA.
