Women's soccer player Rapinoe featured in FOX psa; why? To use Rapinoe's own words, "we can do better".

This has come to the forefront for me after watching a PSA on Fox News by Megan Rapinoe, making me wonder why her? Why hold her up as a spokesman after her reprehensible behavior toward the American flag and our president? I would think this to be too disrespectful even for CNN and MSNBC.  More here

From the June 2019 UK Daily Mail: 'It's important for us to celebrate together': US women's soccer team defends 'disgusting' celebrations during 13-0 World Cup thrashing of Thailand saying 'it's disrespectful if we don't show up and give our best' after leaving their opposition in tears
. . . 'They're the No. 1 team in the world and for me, I'm disgusted, honestly. 
'As a Canadian we would just never ever think of doing something like that ... For me it's disrespectful, it's disgraceful,' said Kyle on the Tuesday's TSN broadcast, according to the Globe and Mail  
"Kyel responded to the death threats on Twitter."  . . .

Everyone’s new soccer hero Megan Rapinoe is actually kind of awful
As liberals stand in praise for Rapinoe, I'm taking a knee. TD
Kelley O’Hara should be the honored one!  . . . “I know dragging it on the ground and throwing it down like it’s a piece of paper isn’t part of that. It’s not hard to hand it off and celebrate. Your coaching staff or trainers are there to take it. Damn Amazing disrespect for a photo op,” he wrote, addressing Long, then adding a thank-you to O’Hara for picking up the flag." . . .   Watch it on video
. . . "The moment prompted a social media firestorm as users called out Long for the disrespectful act during a moment of American celebration.
Benghazi hero John “TIG” Tiegen pointed out that the blunder happened despite the fact that players were briefed on proper flag etiquette.
“I know dragging it on the ground and throwing it down like it’s a piece of paper isn’t part of that. It’s not hard to hand it off and celebrate. Your coaching staff or trainers are there to take it. Damn Amazing disrespect for a photo op,” he wrote, addressing Long, then adding a thank-you to O’Hara for picking up the flag" . . .
Less than two weeks ahead of the victory, Rapinoe was asked if she would visit the White House after a victory.“I’m not going to the fu*king White House,” Rapinoe responded at the time, as reported by Fox News. “No fu*king way will we be invited to the White House. [Trump] tries to avoid inviting a team that might decline. Or, like he did when the [Golden State] Warriors turned him down, he’ll claim they hadn’t been invited in the first place.”Rapinoe has previously described herself as a “walking protest” and has kneeled for the national anthem
. . . Soccer star Megan Rapinoe is making the U.S. Women's soccer team World Cup win all about herself while trashing America and our President. Rapinoe had the opportunity to use her platform for something productive, but instead she decided to take the Colin Kaepernick route. The DC's Stephanie Hamill minces no words when discussing Rapinoe's latest comments and actions."
