Megan Rapinoe may say that she cares about the future of women’s sports, but she’s lying.
The former USWNT captain and ardent progressive spoke with the soccer publication Mundial to discuss President Donald Trump’s actions to keep men out of women’s sports. Specifically, he signed an executive order that requires that all institutions that receive federal funding only allow women in women’s sports, or risk losing their funding. Trump also signed another order that requires the government to observe only two genders.
Both of these actions have broken the brain of Rapinoe, who in the past has said that men should be allowed in women’s sports.
“Don't tell me it's about the rights of women's sports,” she said. “That is totally disingenuous to say that.”
“I think it's just really cruel,” she continued. “You know, if you strip it all back, it's just kind of cruel and depraved. This isn't an issue and you aren't going to be able to Executive Order trans people out of existence.
“We've just gone through a very long period over ten years of really needing to fight just to get to a baseline of, like, equal rights and non-discriminatory behavior, and when people stop just s***ting on women's sports. I think we are sort of at that moment.”
The first two paragraphs are your standard whining from progressives who ignore biological reality and any form of logic. But the last part of her statement is quite intriguing.

Rapinoe wants people to stop hating on women’s sports. However, she is also advocating that men should compete against women, which would end any future women’s sports have. She of all people should know; in 2017, a group of teenagers beat the best women’s soccer team in the world 5-2 in an exhibition match - and Rapinoe was on that team.

So if anyone is “s***ting” on women’s sports here, it's Rapinoe and not Trump. But I don’t expect her to understand her hypocrisy anytime soon.
