We all know how the media is and how they will grab onto any little thing and sensationalize it, this is just another attempt to do with Rapinoe. All she did was make a comment about the white house months before this tournament started, the media decides to recycle the quote right when the tournament started to stir up some controversy of course. What else has she done to make people believe that she thinks it's all about her? Other players have said, even before trump that they didn't want to visit the white house. Why is it now such a big deal that a Lesbian feminist says it? Plus people ask them these questions, they don't just come out hold their own press conference and decide to start trouble, they're just being truthful. I wouldn't visit the white house either to be honest. I've already been there, it's just a big fancy house and you can't touch anything in it, pretty boring! Ha!
Not that fussed about the white house, who she sleeps with, what her feminist beliefs are ... but would much rather she talked about football than just about everything else ... feel exactly the same when male players start giving their opinions on everything from shopping to aliens ... but by far my biggest gripe is the constant "we deserve the same as the men" ... why?
Does Mustafi earn the same as Auba? does a lower league professional earn the same as Messi? You earn what you're worth, get an agent fight your corner, and then get paid what the market says you're worth, pretty much the same as in any other job ... the reason nobody signs women players for 100m is because today there is no billion dollar industry to support that, exactly the same logic applies to wages
Who knows one day there will be a billion dollar women's league, or one day we'll see combined football teams, but until then to say "we deserve it" is just arrogant ... and to repeat it over and over well that's just bloody annoying
That's besides the whole point and I agree.
But she's not the only female saying this though, she's one voice out of thousands, why pick on her and single her out? And I'm not saying you personally, but lets be honest, it's the right hating on her because she's a lesbian we all know it. Don't fall for their bigotry.
