Megan Rapinoe pulls up the ladder that she no longer needs.
There is a reason that Megan Rapinoe only does interviews with people she knows won’t challenge her. It’s the only way the former soccer star won’t end up red-faced or storming off in a fit of rage. Her answers leave her too vulnerable. Her comments sit on the summit of Mindless Mountain.
Her recent sit-down with comedian W. Kamau Bell proved as much.
Among the topics the pair discussed was trans people in women’s sports, which Rapinoe has been a staunch advocate for. Here’s how it started.
Bell: “There’s a lot of talk about how damaging trans women are to sports, so I give you credit for not being afraid to stand with trans people of all types, but also trans women in sports.”
Rapinoe: “I am appalled, I think at just, like, the lack of basic humanity and empathy that people are showing and just the amount of fear and hate, and I just think the silence of athletes is a lot.”
So Rapinoe would have been fine with it if a man had bumped her off a team? She would beam with humanity and empathy and not mind at all that he was taking the place she should have had?
Excuse me for not believing it.
