Trump posted on Truth Social:
"The 'shocking and totally unexpected' loss by the U.S. Women's Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to the our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden.  Many of our players were openly hostile to America—No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close.  WOKE EQUALS FAILURE.  Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!!  MAGA"  

Now that she’s retired, let’s hope that the new tier of leadership filling the void puts a 100% focus on winning.

Fact: Rapinoe was and is a winner who was a big contributor towards the US women's team winning two World Cup championships and an Olympic Gold Medal. But of course Chickie has to run her down, just like his idol, Trump, because she used her status to push for equality for LBGTQ people. To suggest she didn't put "a 100-% focus on winning" is a lie proven wrong by facts. Shame on you, Chickie. But no surprise from someone who had the sheer gall to dub himself our "most intelligent an reasonable poster." When in fact he's an arch political hack.

On Trump's scorecard, a shot like Rapinoe's would have been put down as a hole in one ...

I wonder if Nicky thinks that Martina Navratilova is homophobic?

Show me where I said anything about biological males in women's sports. Rapinoe is a biological woman, Chickster. And as far as I know she doesn't play tennis.
I could care less what Martina thinks.
If you want to start a new thread on biological males in women's sports, go do that. But trying to use it as a rebuttal on this thread is weak and pathetic. Exactly what we'd expect from a partisan hack.

Not sure if that’s his age showing or if he was just born that way.

Trying to retroactively change the subject. And twist the truth.
You criticized Rapinoe for not being 100% focused, obviously based on your disliking her positions on social issues like LBGTQ rights. Do you really deny that? So, yes, you're a homophobic hack. You also never said until now that it was based on her views about "trans women competing in women's sports."  Even more laughable is your claim that your "beef" with her "has nothing to do with her sexual orientation but rather her viewpoints." What viewpoints? Why viewpoints on trans women. Which, of course, has EVERYTHING to do with sexual orientation.
Face it, Chickie, you're a homophobe. With an intellection deficit. And a gaping honesty deficit.

Interesting piece. Lambasts Biden and Rapinoe.

Nowhere did anyone mention transwomen competing in women's sports.  cks175 brought it up to divert and distract from the fact that the GOP and Trump Hate America.

BigPapasan doesn’t know what this thread is about. It’s not about Bud Light. It’s not about Silicon Valley and it’s not about Disney. It’s about the poorest performing USWNT in Women’s World Cup History.

What does LBGTQ rights have to do with losing a female futeball game?  My understanding is that Rapinoe is a Lesbian, and there may have been a few others on this team, but all the really good teams, regardless of the sport, have had Lesbians for years and years.  It's not new.  However, CKS has a point, she seems to have spent more time lately championing rights for the others (BGT and Qs) instead of hitting the practice field to make sure OUR Lesbians can beat the Lesbians from other countries.  IMO, ANYTHING that distracts from getting ready to win a tournament is a stain on her patriotism and doing what is best for her team, which represents the USA and ALL of its people, even the Queers, which just recently joined these long-standing acronym-activists.  In the bigger picture, her failure to take the tournament seriously may have done more harm to Queers, trannies and the others than if she had been focused on winning at her sport and succeeded.  Everybody loves a winner, no matter who or what they prefer to fuck.  Nobody likes a loser.  

We are confused? It seems to me that YOU are the one who is confused.

"Everybody loves a winner, no matter who or what they prefer to fuck.  Nobody likes a loser." but you adore and worship Trump!
.
You say, "she seems to have spent more time lately championing rights for the others (BGT and Qs) instead of hitting the practice field to make sure" we can beat the other team. That sounds like you're ripping Trump! "Trump seems to spend more time lately championing the Rigged 2020 Election and trying to Stop the 2020 Steal and whining about Hunter's laptop and selling his trading cards instead of hitting the debate stage and addressing REAL issues about the future instead of complaining about a falsified past.
.
Furthermore, you say, "IMO, ANYTHING that distracts from getting ready to win a tournament is a stain on her patriotism and doing what is best for her team" which sounds like a scathing criticism of Trump: "IMO, ANYTHING that distracts from getting ready to win [an election] is a stain on [Trump's] patriotism and doing what is best for [the] [country]."  
.
Which is it: Do you like losers or do you hate Trump?

a winner in 2016 and a loser in 2020, just like Biden was a loser in 2008 and a winner in 2020.  So what?  

Soccer Hall of Fame star Alexi Lalas summed it up nicely:

"Everything Trump Touches Dies." Almost everyone Trump endorses loses.
.
In 2018, Trump lost the House.
In 2020, Trump lost the Trifecta: POTUS, Senate, House
In 2022, the hoped for "Red Wave" was turned into Trump's Red Stain
And many Trump endorsed toxic state candidates lost in their states. Of course Kari Lake still thinks she won.  
.
My historical knowledge of Trump goes back to my growing up in New York. Trump was known as a lying, cheating, charlatan back then. Of course, Trump's imaginary spokesmen, John Barron, John Miller, Carolyn Gallego (any others?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump will disagree with me.

Trump's lawyers end up not being lawyers. MAGA: Make Attorneys Get Attorneys.
Giuliani - can no longer practice
Powell - can no longer practice  
Eastman - soon to be disbarred
Habba - fined almost $1 M
Chesebro - soon to be indicted
Clark - might soon be indicted
Bobb - forced to testify
Corcoran - forced to testify; might have testified that Trump lied to him about documents
Michael Cohen - lied for Trump, went to prison for Trump; thrown under the bus by Trump
.
Numerous FAKE Trump electors in many states: CHARGED or soon to be charged WITH CRIMES.
.
Ad infinitum.

What did Alexi Lalas ever win?  NOTHING!  He built his "brand" on his long red hair.  That's all.  He's envious of the success the USWNT has had over the years.  He'd give his left nut for a fraction of the success the women have had.

that you agree with me about Rapinoe and the US women's team.
