Boy that Megan Rapinoe is a boss. She's at the podium on CNN now...

[brush]

after the parade. She's paying tribute to her teammates—"black girls, white girls and everything in between. Straight girls, gay girls..."

She's a star and woke as hell. She despises trump and champions causes like LGBTQ issues, Colin Kapernick's stand on the anthem, equal pay for women, and she just said: "New York City you're the motherfuckin' best."

Damn that woman is bad ass.

[Pachamama]

1. MOTHERFUCKIN BEST!!!!!

I love her!!!!!!

[Pachamama]

2. MSNBC was apologizing for not censoring that as it was televised live....

My daughter and I were cheering and laughing....

She is our SHero!!!!!!!

3. NYC: We know

Now watch your fuckin' mouth.

[brush]

4. What are you talking about?

[BeyondGeography]

5. It's NY humor

Where are you from?

[brush]

6. Sorry, I've been away too long. Lived there for 30 years, last 12 in Vegas.

[BeyondGeography]

7. I'm here with my goddamn kids yanno

[SleeplessinSoCal]

21. downside: As much as we enjoy this, it will bite.

I guarantee a sound tongue lashing from the Christian martyrs.

[BeyondGeography]

22. I'm afraid I agree

There's another thread here with the inspirational content of her speech, which is great. Always better not to step on the headline.

24. The same ones who somehow keep supporting Trump?

Can’t say I care all that much about what they think...

[Traildogbob]

25. Fuck em!

Those exact same Christians praise trump and his filthy cats ass mouth and have no trouble with child rape. So, like I said fuck em. Every damn one of em. She "said" motherfucker, they are cool with child fucking by old white men. Fuck them ALL! Trump is on audio and video many times saying motherfucker. Rapinoe is an American treasure.

[flying_wahini]

28. Do we care what they think?

I don’t.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

29. I care about those who feel disrespectful language is

Not acceptable at a parade. Or in public speaking as a rep of the USA. my hubby is more liberal than I am, but he loathes the "WTF" mentality that we've embraced since 11/16. He voices his objection all the time because I listen to PodSaveAmerica et al, and WTF.

[Drum]

10. Lol

[Javaman]

17. LOL the other NYC classic...

"watch your fucking language".

oh I miss NYC sometimes so fucking much!

[BeyondGeography]

19. Heard that one a few times

LANG-uage. With a little extra on that first syllable.

[Javaman]

20. yup and it would come out more like fucgin' as well. :) Cheers!

[gratuitous]

8. Sorry, folks; we used naughty words

Whenever the Reign come to Portland for a match, some of the more passionate partisans (okay, the entire crowd) often end a particular chant with "Fuck Seattle!" Apparently, the demure Ms. Rapinoe picked up this language and has adopted it for her own. The Riveters hang their collective head in shame for making this shrinking violet such a potty mouth.

[Blue_Tires]

9. she ain't fucking around...

[Mach1miles]

11. Seriously, kids in cages ...nothing..

...say a ‘bad’ word and they all come down on you. She had a great message. Let’s keep it going.

[FakeNoose]

12. Rapinoe is badass - that's why she's team captain

The other women look to her as their leader and she's doing a great job. Also she looks great on TV, and she says the right things at the right time.

[Blue Owl]

13. Fuck yeah

[Taraman]

14. Impressive woman! Unabashed but measured and thoughtful.

She'll continue to do good in the world. Sky's the limit for her.

[Ginger42]

15. Did you see her on Rachel last night?

It was adorable how Rachel couldn't help fangirling.

ICYMI: Susan Bird's tribute to Megan

[brush]

16. No, I missed it. Wanted to catch it but got distracted and when I turned back...

Rachel's show was ending. Dammit.

[Paladin]

23. And not word one from either of them about their sexuality.

Rapinoe was on Anderson Cooper's show earlier, and he couldn't seem to shut up about it. Not that it matters, one way or another---Rapinoe is absolutely awesome. Whenever she walks off the field for the last time, I think she'll have a bright future in sports/and or political commentary. Impressive in so many ways.

[nocoincidences]

18. Yeah, Rachel was losing it,

just trying to talk seriously with her. I kept expecting her to break out with giggles.

It was adorable to see her flustered like that.

[Funtatlaguy]

26. She def has a schoolgirl type crush on her

Wonder how Susan, Rachel’s wife felt about that interview...lol.

[Traildogbob]

27. ❤️❤️☺️😍

The whole fucking team does that to me. I never miss Stephanie Miller in the mornings. But this AM, I HAD to watch the parade and celebration. During commercials, I would flip back to Stephanie. My emotions would instantly turn from pride, love, excitement, hope, and tearing up happiness watching the women to an instant feeling of hate, dispare, and hopelessness when switching to a few moments to Stephanie and the endless trump headlines of hell. We all need to find much more of those Parade type feelings to survive the trump type hate and anger. Thank you Megan and all those amazing women, that for a moment let me remember what love and happiness can do to your soul. Thank you New York Motherfuckers for bringing it into our homes.
