Rapinoe continues her ‘walking protest’ against Trump
US Women’s soccer star and Megan Rapinoe has responded to suggestions she is ‘not American enough’ to represent the nation at the current Women’s World Cup by stating she is “very deeply American”.
Rapinoe came under criticism when a video interview was posted on Twitter of her stating “I’m not going to the f*cking White House” should the US Women’s National Soccer team win a third straight Women’s World Cup in France.
The 33-year-old has adamantly denied she lacks patriotism and told reporters in response: “I think I am particularly American and very deeply American, if you want to talk about the ideals that we stand for and what we were founded on.
“Maybe you don’t agree with every single way that I do it or [what] gets discussed. I know I am not perfect.”
