Megan Rapinoe's gave one of the best speeches I've ever heard today at City Hall

Also, I'm VERY disappointed that know one has asked "Rapinhoe's what?"

Rapinoe's most best speech obviously. You just need to imagine you're marking a six year old's homework and it'll all become clear.

Far too many on both sides have drunk the 'cool aid', they're the same vitriolic defender of their position/person, and fail to see in their own rhetoric what they abhor about the other's.

How fitting on LRC that the first reply is a troll claiming hypocrisy whose moniker is TrumpForever - all in response to someone calling for unity.

Not a troll. Want her to come have a dialogue instead of engaging in a Twitter war. 100% of people who visit Trump end up falling in love with him. Look at Kanye.

Of course the problem is all she will have to do is show up to talk and the left will turn on her. Look at Kanye.

Trump has been credibly accused of rape and sexual harassment by numerous women. He has made countless public comments that are insulting and demeaning towards women. I think a female sports team is allowed to decline an invitation to hang out with this dude without being hypocrites.

Democrats lose again

Megan, you realize the term “mother fucking” is positively disrespectful to all mothers out there

Okay, rant over

Agree totally with this part... I don't know why Ms. Rapinoe felt she couldn't communicate her message without swearing, but it was totally lacking in class and really detracted from the overall positive message.

More proof that the LRC community can’t stand outspoken women.

Not if "outspoken" = virtue-signalling, vacuous, foul-mouthed shrew, no.

A couple more things, Megan admitted in this speech that she has said things that she should not have said. She tried to put aside her anger and hate, why is it not possible for one trump supporter who posts on this thread to try and do the same?

It's amazing to me how this speech elicited so much hate and anger from posters. But I guess if you love Trump ( which I don't understand either) and she attacked him before so it kind of makes sense.

But it was a great message that she didn't have to make. She could have used her forum to further attack trump. It was her crowd and they would have loved anything she said. But instead she gave a speech of peace and unity. We all know if Trump was with his crowd cheering him on he would never have done the same. Trumpsters you know this is true. Even trump supporters should appreciate what Megan said and what she didn't say.

Her choice not to go for the photo op at the white house does not detract from her message.

Name one outspoken woman that is mentioned on LRC that doesn’t meet the scorn of the community.

That was a crummy speech. I don't want to come together with Rapinoe's camp and she doesn't want to come together with mine. There's very little we agree on and we want to live in very different worlds. Her camp is STILL trying to get Trump thrown out of office.

Despite this speech, she’s been nothing but devisive and has made the World Cup more about her than the team. Once she said something along the lines of “I’ll talk with anyone who agrees with me” I was completely done with her. She has a platform and a chance to have a conversation with someone she, and many people, disagree with (Trump) except she’s too much of a coward to show up . . . She’s not brave or remarkable, she’s a wimp who can’t get over her own ego. PS I’m a gay man

How has she made the World Cup about her instead of the team?

New York city is not the "mother fucking best".

Big surprise. And those people calling swearing classless (is this the Victorian age, by the way?) only do so when it’s a woman swearing.

This message board is a fucking cesspool, I swear.

Who cares? She's obviously doped to the gills.

But she doesn't put babies in cages, some of whom will never, ever be reunited with their families, at a cost of over $700 per day, per child, from our taxes.

Another post deletion. Just another example of suppression of freedom of thought. LRC follows the integrity guidelines of Pravda.
