So Megan Rapinoe is Woke Now

She's figured out that dear old Murica isn't a shining beacon of Truth, Justice, and Enlightenment after all.  Given that she's now stepping out with Sue Bird and that she lives in a country run by the most homophobic, misogynistic religio-fascists this side of ISIS, it's about damned time, and welcome to the fight girl.  But you also might want to ask yourself why the US Women's Team (of which you're a member and were in the 2011 World Cup) gets away with muggings, mayhem, and murder no other team can.  Case in point: your 2011 World's Cup match against Canada.  One of your teammates hurdled the Canadian goalie and kneed her in the temple IN THE FUCKING BOX!  For anyone not wearing the Red, White, and Screw-You, it would have been a red card, but for you ladies the ref said, "Play on!"  Because FIFA knows the US Women's Team is the bank (rather like WAC refs used to know BYU was the bank) and is not to be interfered with.  And that can kind of crapitalistic, kleptocratic, kakistocratic entitlement is EXACTLY what creates what you are now purporting to protest against.  Think about it, Megan.
