2019 Sportsperson of the Year: Megan Rapinoe

~snip~

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.”

That witch convinced me that women should not participate in sports. The tranny “athletes” were just icing on the cake of merde.

SI has been all in for homosexuals in sports for years now.

Their hysterical reacioon when some player would speak his mind about homos was so precictable, as if they were the arbiters of what players were allowed to think about things.

Wasn’t she part of the Women’s soccer team that lost to a high school boys’ soccer team in a practice match?

“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.”

That’s gonna leave a mark. LOL

SI is known for one thing, and it ain't sports. Now that's weird branding.

And "equal pay" would be just the ticket to kill the sport!

More interest in Women's Beach Volleyball,anyway.

Sports Illustrated ?????

I had a subscription of a magazine by that name from about 1975 until sometime in the 1990s. Seems like some trash peddlers got a hold of it in that time frame and I haven’t read it since. I didn’t even know the worthless rag was still published.

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

Should’ve been a 3-way tie with her parents and coaches.

SI’s swimsuit issue is going to go full gender fluid.

Or has it already? Haven’t touched SI in years except to look up their cover from September 24, 1962.

;^)

Isn’t saying “Sportsperson” evidence of specisism?

Doesn’t it implicitly assume a superiority of humans over other equally valid species, like the Arctic Rat Lungworm?

Shouldn’t she/he/it/them be called “Sportscreature” of the Year?
