American women's soccer co-captain Megan Rapinoe is not planning to go to the White House if the national team wins the World Cup.
A reporter from Eight by Eight, a soccer magazine that looks at the sport and its place in culture, asked Rapinoe if she was excited about going to the White House if her team wins the Women's World Cup.
"Psssh, I'm not going to the f*****g White House," she fired back before the reporter finished the question. "No. I'm not going to the White House. We're not gonna be invited. I doubt it."
The magazine posted the short interview clip Tuesday on Twitter.
The US national team is competing in the Women's World Cup, and plays host country France on Friday.
It's not the first time professional athletes have turned down a visit to the White House.
The Golden State Warriors swapped White House visit for African-American history museum.
The Golden State Warriors decided not to go to the White House last year after winning an NBA title. Before their scheduled visit, President Donald Trump revoked their invitation on Twitter.
Trump also canceled a visit from the 2018 Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles because of controversy over standing for the national anthem at games.
Rapinoe, one of the women's national team's co-captains, has been outspoken about social justice issues. In 2016, she was among the first white professional athletes to show solidarity with Colin Kaepernick when media first began reporting on his kneeling during the national anthem. Rapinoe knelt during a game a month after it was first noticed that Kaepernick was kneeling.

Remove her
yup another country to win please!
Classless!! Now, President Trump has invited the team, win or lose!
I don’t watch NFL any more, and I don’t watch women’s soccer ... too bad one person can ruin something for millions.
"I am a big fan of the American Team, and Womens Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We havent yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose."....Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!"
No White House for her, but there will more than enough 15 min face time on the major propaganda media.
Agreed
I would like to say that filthy talking women (OR MEN) aren’t allowed in the WH but I guess it wouldn’t be true as I’m sure there are more that do than not! Too bad. Why is it so acceptable today? It didn’t used to be but today, people just spew the filth like they never had any upbringing - and probably didn’t! Homes these people were raised in must have been doozies!
Megan Rapinoe = Future Subaru spokesperson.
Couldnt care less about this punk.
And I am disgusted by my friends and family who continue to watch them despite their knowledge of this
My sentiments, exactly.
I'm also disgusted by the overpromotion of the women's game.

Have you ever met a happy, well adjusted lesbian? I haven’t. They are the angriest people I have ever met.
How embarrassing to show a lack of tolerance like that.
She is displaying a selfish intolerance for our founding documents and the freedoms we try as an experiment to grant all of us. An intolerance also for the office of the presidency, which has held many different temporary presidents over our 240 years of existence.
How foolish.
Needs her carpet munching mouth washed out with soap.
Is this the B squad or something? I watched the USA vs. Chile match a week or so ago and didnt see any of these butch looking chicks/dudes. The ones I saw actually looked like normal heterosexual chick and kind of hot. I watched that whole game and no mention of this Megan Rapinoe tranny at all. I was wondering if I had the right sport. US womens soccer, correct?

Rapinoe did not play in the Chile game...Coach Ellis kept her on the bench. Alex Morgan also did not play in that game.
Looks exactly like the actor Willem Dafoe.
If I knew how to paste a pic , I would... maybe you can.
