No Megan Rapinoe slander will be tolerated. None, you hear me? Rapinoe was the first white football player to support Colin Kaepernick. Soccer is football.

I'm scared of France, Netherlands, and England. The US didn't get much worse. Everyone else has gotten a lot better.

The "I'm a Fox watcher that can't name 3 players in the US Women's Nation Team" to "I'm now an expert on women's soccer, and make more misogynistic comments about the USWNT than Alexi Lalas" pipeline is always in full effect.

Everyone mad that the USWNT was dancing before the game? Just be quiet. Everyone gets ready for competition in different ways.

One of the purest moments in sports history was Diego Maradonna dancing with a ball before a game. His childlike joy was undeniable. The sheer skill with which he played with and danced with the ball, let everyone else know that this boy is not normal.

But when girls do it, it's bad?

I'm disappointed in Carli Lloyd too. She should know better.

As I've said before, every powerlifting competition I've ever won, I wore a Rapinoe merch shirt.♥️👍🏿

Rapinoe is *extremely* popular among Black men basketball and football players. She's an athlete's athlete. She's a fierce competitor, a leader, and speaks up for us. Respect*.

And the USWNT is the most dominant international sports team in world history. Once you get past your sexism and US sports centrism, you can accept this fact.

(And she didn't try to sell poor Black people crypto!)

@mekkaokereke the Thundercats inspired Nike ad they did for her (“Let it Rip!”) is sick. I don’t recall a women’s World Cup where the big brands exerted this kind of marketing effort (ad spend and production talent).

@adambkaplan @mekkaokereke thundercats? Or silverhawks? 🤔

(I watched both obsessively as a kid but have not seen either in 30 years. But… there were far more hawks than cats in that advert.)

@lkanies @mekkaokereke I am too young to have watched Silverhawks during its first airing. I got plenty of Thundercats reruns from Cartoon Network - TIL they were both produced by the same animation studio!

@adambkaplan @mekkaokereke that does not surprise me.

I tried to watch Silverhawks again in my 20s or 30s and man, it did not stand up
