TOKYO—It’s common for stress to get to professional athletes, but U.S. women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe has been dealing with a recurring nightmare: winning the gold medal and having to hear the U.S. national anthem play.
“Aieee! The anthem of my most hated country!” she would hiss and scream as the anthem played. “The one that won’t pay me fairly!”
“Such a horrible nightmare really takes a lot out of you,” Rapinoe told reporters. “It’s started to affect my performance... which I guess is good, so it makes sure that nightmare won’t happen.”
It should all be over soon, though, as the finals are today. Rapinoe is hopeful that will help the nightmares end. “I had a really bad nightmare last night that we won the gold and heard the U.S. anthem,” Rapinoe said, “but as soon as I woke up, I remembered we lost to Canada, so that’s never going to happen. What a relief.”
DANG!
Rapinoe is past her “Use By” date. Hopefully she’ll soon be gone from the national team and create an opening for a better, younger, fitter and, hopefully, actually patriotic player.
That is just pathetic.
Any team member that says she is happy that her team lost and that she hopes they do not win a podium spot is pure poison and should be kicked of the team and sent home
Cut
Her
Pay
I swallowed this story hook line and sinker. LOL
That hasn’t happened in a long time. :)
Purple hair. Black heart.
Got me too.
B*****
:)
They’re good. They’re really good!
And I picked right up on it...And that hasn’t happened in a long time....and I’m tired and stressed, too.
She played like a girl!!
LOL
I had a dental hygiene appointment today.
That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
When humor is more true than actual news reporting...
I think you’ve just been stung by the Bee. The Babylon Bee is a humor site. So this article is not real news. It’s satire.
And don’t feel bad if the Bee fooled you. I’ve been stung many times myself.
Her 15 minutes is over …
I hope she doesn’t get a medal.
And I hope she has that night time paralysis while watching and hearing it.
Wait in’ for the Bee to launch the musical career of Lil Rappin Ho.
I have ZERO sympathy for those that took a knee. You turned your back on America. Rapinoe should NEVER see an American field again. Stop your stupid Social Justice BS and play the damned game. That’s it... Nothing more. Just shut up and play.....
