Megan Rapinoe is an America-hating brat.
…Which is really too bad, because she is an excellent athlete, and as a fellow American, I’d love to root for her and my own TEAM.
She makes that abundantly hard.
But… is she smarter than she seems? Does Megan GET that this supposed “gender wage gap” isn’t a “Wage gap” at all?
Rachel Maddow asked her how fans can help make ‘Equal Pay’ a reality.
“Fans can come to games, obviously national team games will be hot ticket, but we have nine teams in the NWSL, you can go to your league games, you can support that way, you can buy players’ jerseys, you can lend your support that way, you can tell your friends about it, you can become season ticket holders.”

She’s exactly right here. It’s not that the people who run her team hate women… it’s that women’s’ sports simply don’t generate as much revenue… so there’s a much smaller pie to dole around.
SO ARE WE ALL IN AGREEMENT?!
I mean…um… yes that’s we’ve been saying this entire time? https://t.co/T6SyT2n6Z1

I mean you can go after her if you want. I kind of don’t get the frothing impassioned opposition to her. Whatever. She is literally saying the thing critics are saying. Buying merch & attending games is exactly how you solve the pay disparity. So why is everyone fighting?

I mean I’m still stuck on this. Is she just ultimately yelling at everyone to go to more soccer games and if we don’t we are sexist?
