Megan Rapinoe Says Playing Soccer For USA Was ‘Worst Job In The World’

 Megan Rapinoe Says Playing Soccer For USA Was 'Worst Job In The World' (trendingpoliticsnews.com)

In a parting break from reality, Rapinoe said she dreams of a day where transgender men can be allowed to play for the women’s national team 

"Former U.S. Women’s National Team superstar Megan Rapinoe sounded an unpatriotic note during a recent interview when she claimed that representing her country on the pitch was the “worst job in the world.”

"The pink-haired liberal athlete made her comment in a new Netflix documentary, “Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup Team,” covering the team’s pursuit of a third consecutive World Cup title earlier this year. Sweden ultimately defeated the reigning champions in a penalty kick shoot-out during the round of 16.

"According to Rapinoe, who retired following the competition, the pressure she was put under by former President Donald Trump and other conservatives made her wish she wasn’t representing her country at all.

“ 'I always say it’s the worst job in the world, because if you do your job, then you were supposed to, and if you do one hair less, then you are gonna get lambasted for it.”

She also shared her thoughts on playing in her final World Cup.

“ 'I think it’s just such a different feeling knowing that this is going to be my last World Cup, being kind of an old head and having a different role on the team. It means a lot to me in a lot of different ways than the other ones did. Yeah, this one’s very special.”

"Despite her regrets, Rapinoe certainly won’t be returning the millions of dollars she made while playing for the USWNT or repping major brands like Nike, Visa, Victoria’s Secret, Procter & Gamble, BodyArmor, Hulu and LUNA Bar." . . .
