- In the world of sports, few figures have evoked such contrasting opinions as Megan Rapinoe. Revered for her on-field prowess and unyielding activism, she stands as an emblem of empowerment for some. Yet, her bold persona and unapologetic outspokenness have also positioned her as one of the most polarizing women in football today.
Megan Rapinoe's journey to global recognition was accelerated by her exceptional performance on the soccer field. A beacon of resilience and determination, she led the United States women's national soccer team to multiple victories, securing two FIFA Women's World Cup titles and cementing her status as a football icon.
However, it's not just her athletic achievements that have brought Rapinoe into the limelight. Her fervent advocacy for gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice has transformed her into a leading voice for social change. This vocal stance has won her legions of supporters who view her as a role model challenging the status quo.
Yet, as Rapinoe's star has risen, so has the division surrounding her persona. A significant number of football fans and observers find themselves on the opposing end of the spectrum, questioning the intersection of sports and politics. Critics argue that Rapinoe's activism often overshadows her sporting achievements, creating a dissonance between the pitch and the cause.
Furthermore, Rapinoe's pointed critiques of political figures, including former President Trump, have drawn ire from those who prefer their sports figures to remain apolitical. This outspokenness has led to accusations of her using her platform for personal and political gain, ultimately fueling the divide.
Even within the realm of football, Rapinoe's style of play and on-field demeanor have sparked debates. Her propensity for showmanship and celebration is seen by some as charismatic and empowering, while others perceive it as arrogance that disrespects opponents. Her competitive spirit and confidence can sometimes be interpreted as crossing the line between passion and provocation.
Rapinoe's forays into commercial ventures, such as endorsement deals and media appearances, have also drawn attention and criticism. Critics argue that her involvement in such activities contradicts her stance as a champion for the marginalized and exploited, claiming that she's merely profiting from her status.
During this year's World Cup, Megan Rapinoe solidified her reputation as a polarizing figure, adding another layer to the complex tapestry of her persona. In a pivotal moment, she missed a critical penalty that ultimately contributed to the USA's elimination. Adding to the controversy, her subsequent reaction, seemingly a laugh, vexed fervent fans of the national team, sparking frustration and passionate debates.

This girl is type of person that you don’t want to be in a group presentation with.
Fr
every time she talks, i scream "SHUT UP" as a natural reaction
Just a egoist, not a teamplayer or a Patriot.
What do you know about Patriotism?
CORRECTION: she didn’t win or earn any of those awards you mentioned - her team earned or won them as a collective!
She won the golden boot and golden ball and the ballon d'or
Those are all individual awards
You can dislike her personality but she is an absolute needle mover in the game
@@AbdullahHashi-kw3qjLook at her stats online, she's absolute shite. She's all political talk and that's also the reason she got those awards.
She won a popularity contest. She has never been the best on the US let alone the world
The problem is, that most sportsmen and sportswomen are thinking that if they are good at any sport, that they not just a good athletes. Somehow they are starting to believe that they are good at everything they do and that they have the right to say anything they want and everybody should support this.
That's not how it works. If you are good athlete that doesn't make your point any more valid. You are just another person with personal opinion, not a messiah.
Her leaving the team makes me reflect on a Roy Clark song, Thank God and Greyhound She's Gone.
wasnt her team beat by a bunch of teenage boys
They have been beaten by teenage boys over 200 times. They regularly scrimmage (and get badly beaten) by u-16 boys. They don't scrimmage u-18 boys because they would get injured.
@@frankreynolds9418 Why would they get injured? As if that's the issue.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 Because u 18 boys are bigger, stronger, faster, jump higher, and tackle harder. Thus raising the likelihood of a woman getting injured. That is absolutely an issue and it is why they only play 16 and under boy's teams. Any more questions?
@@frankreynolds9418 Football isn't a physical sport. It's well suitable for both women and children. Injuries sustained due to actions of opposing players are rare.
Tackling players isn't allowed, you are allowed to hit the ball away with your feet. So there is no ''tackling harder'' argument to be made, especially as it isn't a physical sport to begin with.
The reason that the women's team doesn't play against U18 is that the gap in skill is even wider than it is when playing against U16.
That's the sole reason. It has *nothing* to do with potential injuries.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 You've made fantastic points and proved me wrong. It is based solely on technical ability and has nothing to due with physicality. I was unaware that football was NOT a physical sport and virtually no injuries are caused from physical contact. I have checked CZcams and there are NO videos of players being injured from hard tackles. There are NO videos of "hard men" bashing other players. Thank you for enlightening me. We can end our correspondence now that you have educated me. Thanks again, your insight is infallible.
CORRECTION: she didn’t win any of those awards, her team did!!
There cant be equal pay when men's football gets several times more viewership than women's football the revunue comes from viewership
Professional sports 101
I'm watching women's sports football for a few years now and enjoy it! You-all should try watching!This girls are RUNNING sweating more than the last super ball guys!😄
Imagine making a rule because she does not want to respect anything or anyone, but wants everyone to respect what she fights and her ideals.
Next time put players on your national team that actually want to play for the love they have to the country.
They want to win. What you're suggesting isn't realistic.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 They wanted to win for themselves..............Not because of national pride. If they actually had any integrity at all, they'd refuse to represent the country they hate so much......But, no!!! They don't have any integrity. They take the money, the recognition and the endorsements....All while wearing the uniform of a country they hate.
@@incumbentvinyl9291it’s very realistic to honor your country. You don’t have to respect the president to respect the everyday person that helps the nation operate
When Otto Rechagel took charge of Greece National Team:Nikos Machlas(The only Greek who've won the golden boot),Akis Zikos(UCL finalist 2004) and Georgatos(Former InterMilan player) left the National Team cause of their ego and Greece won Euro 2004.I don't say they were bad players,but sometimes you should not take the egotistical players
You need to differeniate between her performance and attitude; many great players have missed penalties in big game, Van Basten, Baggio etc so she should not be critiscised for that, but her idiotic man-hating and demand for equal pay is laughable. If she was digging holes for $50k a yeae we'd listen. In the entertainment industry you get paid the market value
The first American team I ever wanted to loose and I hate her for that.
Go work in the oilfield in 20 bellow and a 100 above in summer and tell me how hard you have it.
What do you know about being an athlete? I’m saying this because I know I’m not.
Megan Rapinoe is not complex. Megan Rapinoe is about Megan Rapinoe.
Megan Rapinoe is a Mia Hamm wannabe but never will be.
Theres a certain key and peele skit thats so relatable to megan rapinoe
The absence of facts in your video is telling. For instance, the pay gap you describe doesn't exist when you consider how little women's sports earns.
with this woke ideology an unknown actor should be paid as much as a known actress
Talk about being a cancer to a sport its all about her and her opinions she made millions off this and became famous
6:16 - ''free kick''
Hahahaha! That's hilarious!
Penalty*
@@Orebrohkfan You're telling the wrong person.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 how am i supposed to tell them
The wordy sin of all is pride !
This video was great and informative, but the ending summarization felt forced which made the end of this video bad. That's why there are so many dislikes. The vague compliments given to her at the very end were unnecessary. People came here to hate her, not be lectured by the creator about her vapid, superficial, narcissistic need to make the world a better place with her anti-American woke totalitaranism. Don't compliment someone who is racist and sexist against you. Never give these sociopaths the humanity they never apply to you.
She can't get paid the same as a man because nobody wants to see her play.. it's simple.
in that person's face I see an angry empty soul
Its not that her political statements were polarizing or she "should have stuck to sports," it's that she lied about the whole equal pay thing. Her team took a safer bet with a lower grand payout and then when they won, complained they didn't get paid like they had taken the higher risk/higher payout option.
the only bad thing she can do to the team....remove her so that the American national team will ask, divide the team, there will be no good result, Corbin is absolutely right, don't chase away talents like Corbin, European teams pay a lot of money for players at Corbin's level will stick with retired players only
Its a privilege to play for any national team , her behaviour is effecting the rest of the team , get rid of her . Emma Hayes will sort this out quick smart.
I just feel sadness for her.. she seems really unhappy 🙁 on the inside 😢
Almost single handedly obliterated women's soccer interest in the US.
I could name 100 footballers across the world without drawing breath, I would be able to name at least 16 of England's last world cup squad after 10 pints of stella yet the only female footballer I could name has nothing to do with football, it is only her outspoken views that she is known to me for.
We are in the last days of the women's world cup and so should be at the peak of exposure so I challenge anyone particularly women who believe in equal money in sports to name 5 of their national women's team and 20 other female international players along with 3 international coaches.
The problem is that women are not as interested in football as men and the ones that are ,are not interested in women's football. Women are not supporting women, they are not watching them and in the main are not interested in a lesser level of football.
It is not the men's responsibility to finance women's sport, women go on about wanting to be independent so be independent, have a Women's FIFA WFIFA have a women's UEFA WUEFA build your own stadiums get your own sponsorships and finance yourselves or STFU and be grateful of the chance that you have to follow in the men's footsteps using their infrastructure and of the finance that they subsidise your game with.
You are right. Let women start their own federations.
Bye love❤❤❤ Bye!
The level of entitlement in the face of reality and the unwillingness to do anything but whine to change a situation is very off-putting. It saps any energy most people have to potentially support a tean or athlete.
I would like to ask Sue Bird...if she had it to do all over again...ha
On the White House............Bruins goal keeper wold not go when Obama was Pres.
This team brought shame and racism to our country, we should demolish this team boycott theme and their sponsors.
Respect??? By kneeling during playing of the National Anthem!?
Soccer prowess js insane. She’s not very good. She won the golden ball because she’s gay and her “activism” because she’s nowhere near the best women’s player
the most disliked card ever on futbin 🍑
This is an impressive video. Good job.
Thank you, means a lot 😊
It won't let me "Like" this video.
Very nice video. I enjoyed that.
Great penalty taker ! Lol lol lol
The Rooster!!!!
So why wasn't Megan Rapinoe removed from the team for kneeling during the National Anthem.
Because the team represente USA and deserved respect. Is no only play good is be humble and respect.
With some activist.....there are no breaks (full steam ahead no matter what)
*hence why they become pariahs eventually
They are not higher than god even though they are very popular at the eyes of the people,someday soon,you kneel for forgiveness.days are numbered.
THIS WOMAN WANT FAME ,AND SHES GOT IT ,,WANTS MORE
Imo... As much as u dont like other peoples opinion they should be entitled to free speech..
And we............. Have the right to think she's a spotlight seeking idiot virtue signaler.
She seems quite odd irl but her EA FC 24 card is crazy good. :))
I actually went and partied when I found out she blew out her knee
She is the reason nobody watches women's soccer
Instant karma
It's like a bad joke, just like Megan.
I guarantee u ,no one would rather be u,than her( successful hof career, and multi millionaire
@@brando7266 At least you don't think Mophead was hot.
@@blatzkeg her wife is hot,lol,
Yes she is, I just can't stand her and what she did to our young players, she is a disgrace to America, women, and the world of Soccer.
Very much overrated
No ne who likes football even watches her lol
nah, cant listen to an AI generated voice
I don't get how so many people hate her after watching this video.
No matter what you think she is a good footballer ,oh and she is as an Amercan allowed her opinian
Like your spelling LOL
I'm all about equality... Let them compete with the men and give them a dose of reality they so badly deserve.. She wouldn't get past semi pro level and then let her see how much money she would make. Talking about woman should get paid fhe same as men lol. They are vastly overpaid for their level. Getting hammered by underage boys teams and over 50s men's teams is the reality.
