Woke soccer star Megan Rapinoe adds to Subway's failure in 2021, over 1,000 stores close amid backlash

Subway has struggled in the year since it hired soccer star and left-wing activist Megan Rapinoe as a national spokeswoman, with hundreds of stores closing across the nation.

The fast-food chain -- whose best-known spokesman, Jared Fogle, went to jail for child pornography possession in 2015 -- hired Rapinoe as a pitchwoman early last year.

One commercial featured the purple-haired anthem protester knocking food out of a man's hand with a soccer ball.

Hiring Rapinoe didn't help the company's fortunes, however: In 2021, 1,043 Subway locations closed, the New York Post reported Thursday.

The chain already had been losing stores in the two years before she became the chain's pitchwoman.

At the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Subway lost 1,609 stores. In 2019, it lost 999, the Post reported…

Subway was informed and knew about Jared and his pedophilia and turned a blind eye to it..

Yet you want me to care about some idiot soccer player?!?

The fact ANYONE has ever walked into a subway after that is beyond me

Subway has been in trouble since 2015 when their spokesman, Jared Fogle, pleaded guilty to having sex with minors. In 2016, the chain closed more stores than it opened for the first time in its history.

The brand is forever tainted. The executives turned a blind eye to their spokesman's sexual crimes.

What other option does Subway have except going woke as they continue to go broke? Who else would be their spokeswoman other than Megan Rapinoe?

Pink haired lesbians are so pre-2020. In 2022, you go Tranny or you go home…

Subway could bring Pedo Jared. He could sell a sammich these days. He'd fit right in, maybe do a commercial from Disney World.

Rapinoe might be a better spokesperson for Snap on Tools

I used to go to Subway once in a while to remind me why I don't go there much. Their cold cuts suck and so does their bread.

I don't go there anymore. I can make better sandwiches for myself at a fraction of the cost.

True.

And if men care to avoid estrogens even more, lose body fat, belly fat in particular. Belly fat reduces testosterone and increases the female hormone estradiol.

Leftists destroy everything they get near.
Music, news, movies, education, and companies. Sad but true. Didn’t know the foul, American-hating soccer woman ♀️ ⚽ was involved with Subway. I can’t boycott everything, but Subway I can.

My family and I are experts in subs.

The Gold Standard is a chain in the Northeast, as far as I know, called Primo.

But the second best is Jersey Mike’s.

The quality of the lunch meats is what makes the difference.

Firehouse subs are great. And some of the proceeds go to help firefighters and other first responders. Win-win.
