Posters of US women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe vandalized in Bryant Park
ABC 7 ^ | July 8, 2019 | Eyewitness News

Posted on 07/09/2019 11:01:42 AM PDT by EdnaMode

An investigation is underway after posters of US women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe were vandalized at Bryant Park in Manhattan, one day after the team's World Cup championship victory.

A commuter noticed anti-gay graffiti on the posters at the park train station at about 7 a.m. Monday.

At least six posters of Rapinoe were vandalized. They have since been cleaned by the MTA.

The NYPD Hate Crime task force is investigating.

The MTA released the following statement:

"Hate has no place in the transit system and we work hard to make the subway a welcoming, safe environment for everyone. We referred this to NYPD which responded to investigate, our maintenance teams got the posters cleaned and we will have them replaced with new ones if necessary."

“She and her kind should have been booted off the team five seconds after her first outburst.”

She speaks for the whole team. It’s a team

According the ABC News: “The team has become a symbol of LGBTQ inclusion, with a lesbian coach and several lesbian players, including Rapinoe.”

Lesbianism is not the topic but it is being used to deflect the real one: the teams disrespectful treatment of the country, the flag, and our president and the White House either by openly attacking it, like Rapinoe and her foul language attack and her trying to desecrate the flag after the championship victory, and by the team for not stepping out on the problem by disclaiming it, thus displaying possible agreement with Rapinoe and her foul tactics. That’s the topic. I don’t care what they do in their bedroom, keep it there.

This is a deflection. Smoke and mirrors. And I wouldn’t be too sure it wasn’t done by liberal people to try to get by the unpatriotic thing that was an embarrassment. And it always come down to sexual biblical differences or race to offshoot a problem with liberals.

Maybe someone got sick of looking at the ugly unpatriotic resting bitch face in his/her neighborhood.

NO!. Vandalizing a poster is not a hate crime!

Probably a hoax, but if they wish to push ‘hate crime’ the media is all in as usual.

Speaking of hate. What is Rapinoe’s opinion of God or Jesus?

The worst kind of lesbian too. Nothing worse than a PRIDEFUL, evil and vapid she-man who portrays herself as noble when deep down inside she's seething with rage and arrogance.

That's what I thought I was seeing too.

Time for a reality check. Assuming this was not the work of a leftist trying to stir up trouble, at worst some angry person scribbled “Eat it, dyke” or similar on the poster. THAT is what the NYPD chooses to investigate when so many crimes do not receive the attention they deserve in a city as large as NYC?

There’s nothing in the Constitution about any right to not be offended. If these snowflakes are that sensitive, they should never leave their safe spaces.

“What is Rapinoe’s opinion of God or Jesus?”

She can’t have an opinion of either God, Jesus, or any diety. The only religions of the majors that practice homosexuality are satanism, hinduism, and wicca.

The whole idea of repenting is to accept and try not to do it again. A homosexual has every intention of repeating the sin. They are just trying to get sins forgiven until they need it again. Leviticus 20:13 is for men and Romans 1:26-27 is for women.

So if you are going to repent sin with the intention to repeat the ungodly act, you are committing a blasphemy as you are committing a purposeful sacrilege, thus lying to God and trying to use God to protect you for your beneficial unnatural earthly purposes.

You can’t be homosexual and religious unless the religion is unnatural.

Leviticus 20:13 - You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Romans 1:26-27: Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. I

Anyone can have an opinion on anything.

To have an opinion on anything you have to have an understanding of it enough to create a thought that falls within the guidelines of the topic. She cannot know the topic.

It’s like looking up into a clear sky and saying the color is Fred. Jibberish or unknowledgeable input is not an opinion as it has no bearing of anything to include truth or lies. I don’t feel she is capable of adult conversation on the topic because she doesn’t have any real education in it as the way they treat people on that team is a perfect example of non-Christian or any other religion except those that attack people in todays atmosphere. An example is Jalene Hinkle.

Rapinoe claims to follow Christianity. But how she treats people she displays no knowledge of what it is nor any concept of right and wrong based upon it other than misconception and no understanding. You can’t have an opinion of something you do not understand. (Please see my second paragraph)

Yet, it is okay for her to hate on Trump. Lefties, respect is a two way street and you have not earned it. In fact, it is quite the opposite.
