2019 Sportsperson of the Year: Megan Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe is Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year. She is just the fourth woman in the award’s 66-year history to win it unaccompanied, a feat that is both a remarkable athletic achievement and a reflection of entrenched gender biases. Rapinoe challenged perceptions of her, of female athletes, of all women. She led her teammates, three months before their tentpole tournament, to sue the U.S. Soccer Federation for equal pay; to declare in advance that they would not visit the White House when they won the Cup; to score 13 goals in a group-stage match against Thailand, without apology.

As for The Pose? “It was kind of like a ‘F--- you,’ but with a big smile and a s--- eating grin,” Rapinoe says. “You are not going to steal any of our joy.”

Good Choice. For SI, that is.

Choose an America hating, no class, pink haired lezzie.

And Sports Illustrated reaches up out of the toilet bowl to pull the toilet handle and flush themselves down the sewer.

Real classy broad. I’d like to see her pose right after Trump wins re-election.

Why? Because being an ass clown is now some sport thing?

Rapinoe challenged perceptions of her, of female athletes, of all women.


The question is, did she really change perceptions of women athletes for the better? Did she really make a positive social/political statement, by emphasizing lesbianism in women’s sports???? Ditto by making a strong political statement against the president?????

Of course she didn't win the award for her athletic abilities, just as Obama didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace and you don't win an Oscar for being a good actor.

Liberals ruin everything and turn every award into the "Yet Another Award for Being a Leftist Hump" award.

Congratulations latest recipient of major award!

An angry, ugly, hateful, arrogant dyke will go far in promoting the already booming women’s soccer industry. Maybe they could get Eileen Wuornos’ corpse to add some cachet.

The felonious female astronaut is probably figuring SHE would have made it if our domestic enemies hadn’t won the cup.

Surprised the “gals” aren’t objecting to the toxic masculine “cup” trophy.

As for The Pose? “It was kind of like a ‘F--- you,’ but with a big smile and a s--- eating grin,” Rapinoe says. “You are not going to steal any of our joy.”

We've gone from Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Arnold Palmer, Reggie White, Chris Evert to this piece of trash. Sad.
