Take heart America. You won’t have soccer player Megan Rapinoe to kick you around anymore.
Rapinoe, one of America’s wokest professional athletes, apparently won’t have a springboard to badmouth the country that made her a global soccer star as she has been left off the U.S. Women’s national soccer team, according to Breitbart News.
The team’s head coach, Vlatko Andonovski, is looking for youth to make the next bid for a World Cup and Olympic gold.
Andonovski recently announced the new roster ahead of the SheBelieves Cup, an international tournament later this month in California and Texas that will also feature the national teams of the Czech Republic, New Zealand, and Iceland.
Rapinoe and longtime star Alex Morgan were booted from the new iteration of the U.S. team.
Rapinoe, now 36, was one reason that the women’s team average age at the 2021 Olympics was nearly 31, the oldest Olympic roster ever, according to the Associated Press.
That was six years older than the team, with almost the same roster, that won the World Cup just two years earlier.
Last year at the Olympics in Tokyo, the U.S. women were heavy favorites to capture the goal.
But, as Breitbart noted, “Rapinoe and her merry band of wokesters then lost to Canada before squeaking by Australia and securing a disappointing bronze medal.”
Rapinoe, a purple-haired lesbian, has been particularly outspoken about her politics.
She has long led the team in Kaepernick-style kneeling for the national anthem and prior to games, including during the Olympics last year. In March 2021, she also appeared alongside President Joe Biden to complain about the women’s team not receiving the same pay as the men’s team, even though analysts showed the men’s team generates vastly more revenue.
