Megan Rapinoe criticized former President Trump, U.S. women's soccer team critics and Spanish soccer head Luis Rubiales for kissing a player on the lips at the World Cup.
From Megyn Kelly to Alexi Lalas, stunned, angry, even celebratory reactions to Sunday’s loss to Sweden show that the pressure described in ‘Barbie’ is all too real.In the Atlantic interview, Rapinoe said Trump’s post was “a compilation of hit words and hot-button words that don’t actually make any sort of sense or square with reality at all.
“I think, just in general, the way that our team was spoken about over the course of the tournament, it was fake,” Rapinoe said. “And it didn’t make sense to me. In 2019, we were ultra-confident, ultra-swaggy — and won everything. And even though we won, we did it in bad taste, according to our critics. This time, we weren’t confident enough, and we don’t have the right ‘mentality.’ And so we lost. It’s just so disingenuous. There’s no way for us to win, and there’s no way for us to lose.
Rapinoe, who was a leading figure in the U.S. women’s successful fight against their own federation for equal pay and working conditions, also weighed in on the actions of Spain soccer federation president
