Trump Critic Megan Rapinoe Praises Kaepernick at ‘Women Of The Year’ Awards

I mean I don't really give a fuck what she says. But what? Her own talent and the talent of her teammates is why she is where she is, what the hell did CK do for her?

She's gay, so she's inspired by those who progress minority interests

I would understand that completely - but I don't think he deserves that acknowledgement as he's not earned it. And he still profited from it.

What does that have to do with her statement intellectually dishonest Pete?

She said "I don't think I'd be where I am without CK"

that's a complete lie. She would be EXACTLY where she is now with or without CK. Her statement actually belittles her own accomplishments, not to mention those of her team and shits on America in general.

Like you know her... btw keep giving me nicknames and I'll do the same for you.

What are you talking about? Are you claiming that she is right, that if CK hadn't kneeled she wouldn't be probably the GOAT women's soccer player? That's just ridiculous Petey.

She didn't say "CK inspires me " she said "Without CK I wouldn't be where I am today" but she was where she is today before CK knelt, so we know that isn't true.

As for nicknames, I would hope that if I were as dishonest as you are that a friend would just shoot me.

And there it is. You think someone should shoot me dead. I'm done with you STTAB. Jim, this is the uncivil rot you speak of.

[STTAB]

At no point did I imply that anyone should shoot you dead Pete. Why are you so dishonest?

[Gunny]

That's weak even for you @pete311. Looks like he was speaking for himself, not you.

You pulled this crap on me in the past as well. Give it a rest. I believe, IIRC, some of the "uncivil rot" Jim spoke of included intellectual dishonesty. You come on here asing for it then play victim when you get what ask for.

Looks to me like you just got your own circle jerk with yourself going on

She got HER name in the papers though. THAT is what is "important". To her

I don't even know who she is. Never heard of her before.

She is a great female soccer player Gunny. Maybe the best in the world. We can acknowledge this at the same time as we are disagreeing with her politics. Her being gay has nothing to do with this, even though Petey tries to make it so.

That's what makes her statement so disingenuous. She's where she is today because of her talents and abilities, if CK never even existed she'd be exactly where she is now, so why is she diminishing her own accomplishments to bolster up this guy? LOL

She's gay, she hates POTUS AND her 15 minutes of fame have expired!

[STTAB]

I'll say it again. She is a world class athlete. probably THE best female soccer player in the world and has been for quite some time. Her 15 minutes of fame isn't about up.That's what makes her comments so stupid, she was a world renowned soccer star before CK even entered the NFL draft, let alone before he did all his kneeling.

Truth is she was completely successful in spite of being a lesbian. No one cared, just kick the damn ball into the goal, which she is quite good at. Now she's trying to act like people just wouldn't give her a chance to play, but CK he changed everything LOL

[Abbey Marie]

I find her to be a distasteful potty mouth.

But I do agree with her in a way- she may be a great soccer player, but to get this type of award in the liberal media takes more than that. It takes a loud mouth liberal criticizing the President, for example. Ding ding ding; cue Rapinoe. No conservative, or even moderate athlete would have won. I just wouldn’t credit CK.

Same goes for the current “Sexiest Man Alive” John Legend. The man is not sexy, but he is ​a critic of Trump.

Yep, it's so boring. Why can't she just be acknowledged for her ability on the field? She IS a great soccer player, but that's all she is. She isn't a hero for being so anti Trump. And you're 100% correct, as long as Trump is in office the only people who are going to win these "prestigious" awards are those who vocally hate him.
