Adrienne Bankert ABC News: Rapinoe created a "firestorm" by saying she won't go to White House

[Takket]

Really.............. REALLY???????????????????????

It would "create a firestorm" if she said she WOULD go the white house.

A person refusing to meet a racist, sexist, treasonous tyrant should not be called a "firestorm". It should be called being a decent human being with dignity and a sense of right over wrong.

[Freethinker65]

1. She answered a question. Would she be receiving the same scrutiny if she had pledged her loyalty?

I blame the person asking the stupid question before they even won.

[FakeNoose]

10. Megan Rapinoe is in the catbird seat

Why should she do anything for Chump?

[3catwoman3]

32. I hope someone makes a T-shirt out of this.

I would absolutely get one.

[FakeNoose]

33. I'm not sure whether those are her actual words

Somebody on Twitter made this meme, and they might be assuming that's what she said.
I have no doubt that's her attitude though.

2. Scoring two goals in the quarter-finals---

kind of puts PAID to the "controversy". Rapinoe rules.

[lpbk2713]

3. Can't blame her a bit. You are judged by the company you keep.

I wouldn't want my picture taken with that asshole and then have it published all over the world.

5. But trump saying he wants to get rid of all the journalists like in Russia?

Or joking with Putin about election security? Or playing footsie with a murderous tyrant like Kim? Or taking his extended family on a taxpayer funded trip to Buckingham Palace while children are tortured in cages? Or the 22nd accusation of sexual assault? Where's the firestorm over any of these?

[gratuitous]

6. Excellent points, all

But yeah, a female soccer player declining to go to the White House for a junk food photo op with a highly unpopular president is firestorm material.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. In other words

She hurt Twumpy's feewings.

[Aviation Pro]

8. Besides...

...she would probably break it off in his ass if she went.

[ChubbyStar]

9. FFS it is 2019 and YET women are still expected to have no voice?

Oh and please don't be a lesbian

[RockRaven]

11. It's a firestorm when a woman says "no" to the idea of meekly doing what she is told...?

or doing it exactly where, when and how she is told?

A "firestorm?"

This ABC person can go f--k all the way off. ALL THE WAY OFF.

[Takket]

19. a soccer plater can't comment on the president......

but when he argues back at the soccer player instead of leading the free world, no one says drumpf created a "firestorm"

[MontanaMama]

27. +1

ALL THE WAY OFF...seven different ways from Sunday.

[dalton99a]

12. No one should go to the White House while the monster is president.

Avoid it. Boycott it. Quarantine it.

[Skittles]

28. CORRECT

it sickens me that any decent person would go

[Honeycombe8]

13. I wonder who Rapinoe is. nt

[phylny]

18. There is a picture in this thread that should help you identify her. n/t

[onetexan]

14. again another instance of the MSM kissing up to this foul jackass in the WH

who is this woman anywaze? her journalistic chops is questionable if she's making up crap.

[Takket]

15. she's a reporter for ABC News

She made the comment during her segment on the team USA match during tonight's newscast. I was flabbergasted.

[onetexan]

20. Thanks, i meant that facetiously

Clearly she's trying to drum up every tidbit of controversy she can. Given how odious this guy has been and how many athletes have chosen NOT to go to the WH after their wins, im surprised that she is surprised. Where has she been - under a rock?

[tclambert]

16. Doesn't she like cold cheeseburgers?

[customerserviceguy]

23. Everyone knows

that room-temperature hamberders are not on any Olympic training tables.

[struggle4progress]

30. And she's missing the chance to schmooze with Bloaty McBloatface

[MFM008]

31. Thats

Rapey McRape face.....

[honest.abe]

17. Love it!

I hope she wears a 'FUCK TRUMP' undergarment that she strips down to when they win.

[onetexan]

22. That wld be a HOOT! I'd like to see that

[3catwoman3]

29. Oh, me too!

Please, please, please.

I there is a T-shirt made of the picture in post #10, I’m getting one, even if I can only wear it at home.

[UniteFightBack]

21. GOOD. FIRESTORM RAGE ON. Fire is powerful, it is dangerous and it is not to be fucked with. nt

[tblue37]

26. And it can be purifying. nt

[Liberal In Texas]

24. YES! Good for her! n/t

[trueblue2007]

25. BETTER put RUMP in the Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm-u-lance cuz he will whine like a baby
