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.

‘So what is this guy so unhappy about?’
ha ha ha...
I guess I should have been clearer.
I meant not standing for National Anthem.
Disgusting to hear another player says
she wont go to WH if they win either.
He's pissed because people keep mistaking him for Anderson Cooper.
That jawline
Shes on testosterone no question
Or was
Same here. Great player, garbage human being, loser in life.
From her use of foul language, she is surely a class act and a role model for young aspiring soccer players throughout America. Not.
Looks like a bunch of misfit lesbians.
I don't know the deal about the other girl Alex Morgan but at least she's hot. Why isn't she (also missing is Julie Ertz) in the above picture? Like they have a lesbian squad and a hetero squad lol.
‘the U.S. womens team and womens pro teams function as a propaganda machine that stridently promotes lesbianism and political liberalism to young girls.’
they’re also quite strident about getting more money; and that idiot Martha MacCallum on FoxNews was saying they should get more than the men, because they’ve won twice and the men haven’t...
‘The one with LOSER written all over her’
here on FR we say ‘looser’, as evidenced by this thread...
Just why does an American sporting event have to become a political statement? No one is stopping this person from practicing her sexuality, no one said she couldnt play the FIFA because of her sexuality, she is on the world stage making an ass of herself and this country.. she is incapable of saying thank you to WE THE PEOPLE who are paying for and enabling her to participate. This sad creature thinks her sexuality is more important than an American flag and she doesnt have a clue the heartbreaks and sacrifices made because she is so self-absorbed.
She had an opportunity to really promote her causes with class and dignity and thank the American flag for her freedom, instead she went the me, me, me route. What a selfish pig.
Notice how the media jumped on this rediculous story. They are really devious.
Shes a self loathing sexual deviant.
A Dead Ender.
Never forget, this disgusting organization blackballed Jaelene Hinkle, a Christian soccer player, for refusing to wear “pride” colors.
This one has an unsettled mind.
She works her entire Sporting Life to achieve the goal of making Team USA, which is a team that represents her country which she apparently loaths.
I don’t follow the logic. But then again maybe there is no logic to follow to begin with.
Just a suggestion that You avoid All the major Holidays with them. And when they ask why-Tell them.
She’s getting her ‘15 minutes’ the easy way. It’s just a chance for otherwise insignificant people to take a cheap shot at the President....and to score major suck points with an increasingly impressionable and unprofessional MSM.
It’s one set of stupid losers trying to impress another set of stupid losers.
I hope I live long enough to see a media that has SOME rational, adult discernment
"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."
Do any of these hate negros and homos EVER define just what is their issue with Trump? If so, I must have missed it.
