“Megan Rapinoe has announced she’ll retire..”

Get lost and break a leg (literally) in your last season.

Wouldn’t it something if a tyranny tried out for her position on World Cup team and beat her out. There has to be a 15 year old boy who would love to beat her out for a place on the team.

Keep Our Own Kids Safe

BEGIN PSA #1

JOHNNY DONNOVAN: (caring music) And now a word from the Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign about the danger of soccer.

LISA: I have played soccer since I was in kindergarten. I think that it has effected me. After soccer games I would feel lightheaded from hitting the soccer ball. I broke my leg playing a soccer game. Two years ago this time I was in physical therapy for eight months with a hip injury. All from soccer.

DONNOVAN: Keep Our Own Kids Safe national celebrity spokesman Rush Limbaugh…

RUSH: We thank God, Lisa, that you are among the fortunate few who have learned in time. But think of the people who have not learned, who don’t know, who are being led down the primrose path. My friends, I think it’s time for serious, drastic action. It is time to ban soccer from television. That, obviously, is encouraging a lot of people to play. Don’t let any of the sponsors that sponsor soccer advertise on TV. Something must be done now. You heard her story.

LISA: It’s not worth risking my body, injuries that I could be stuck with for life! I mean, who knows? I could be… Like, five hundred years (sic) from now I could be, like, a paraplegic! I mean, who knows? It’s not worth it.

DONNOVAN: Join Rush Limbaugh, and help support the Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign. Look for the Keep Our Own Kids Safe chapter near you. You’ll find them everywhere.

END PSA #1

She knows women's days are numbered for women's sports.

Five years from now, these teams will be entirely trannies.
