It does sound exactly like something Rapinoe would say
Aging athletes, like actors, need to stay ‘relevant’.
Not so
They can go to Portland or any other American sh#@-hole of their choosing (or of their own making) and hold the entire US and world ‘media’ in their thrall (easy peasy), while they throw a tantrum.
There is NO need to disrupt the Olympics or the ruin hard won Olympic experience of other athletes. THAT'S just childish and selfish malice!!
And as for personal challenges they drag along behind them TO the games....HE*&! I am old enough to remember when there was no smarmy, whiny back story to every single athlete's path to the games! Enough with that BS!!
Tomorrow morning they go up against Australia for the bronze medal. Here’s hoping Rapinho gets 4th place.
