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.

The hate & anger is extreme with most mentally disturbed people like her.
Gosh I hope they lose massively.
Hope she get her butt kicked.
I mean... I will pray for her.
I still hope they win. For our nation, and for the other players.
Trump shouldnt let any of these enablers near the White house
I hope that they loose to Spain!
Notice how most of the team members are standing? But CNN devotes the whole article to one loon.
I agree. I’m for who ever plays them.
Hopefully, she is not representative of the whole team.
If the team does win the world cup, they should be invited to the White House, and those that hate Trump and the country should be left out.
Trump was elected BY THE PEOPLE according to the constitutionally mandated method. She does not represent American values.
Everything lives forever on the Internet. This woman’s foul mouth and pettiness will be there for viewing decades from now when she is trying to live a dignified, adult life. At least we can hope that she will be trying to live a dignified life, eventually.
This woman is pure clASS.
So what ever happened to the Lefts hero Kaepernick?
Dems as usual the liberals simply kicked him aside after they found no one cared about him anymore.
RE: I hope that they loose to Spain!
You’re a little too late, the USA defeated Spain 2-1. They face France next in the quarter finals.
They should replace her with a trans gender.
When did anderson cooper start playing soccer?
I hope they lose bigley.
If I was trump I wouldn’t want to host those lawn fairies anyway. Football is Americas sport!! Too bad the SJW NFL is trying to ruin that too.
Who would miss such a classless skank?
