Rapinoe&#8217;s performance resulted in a loss to Sweden and\u200b an early exit from the competition,\u2062 which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/6-athletes-who-decided-to-get-political-and-failed-miserably\/\" title=\"6 Athletes Who Decided To Get Political\u2026 And Failed Miserably\">drew significant criticism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>At particular issue for most was\u2062 a penalty kick \u2014 which Rapinoe whiffed,\u200b handing Sweden the win \u2014 \u200dand the striker\u2019s awkward response to the loss, which appeared to at \u200bleast initially\u2062 be laughter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Conservatives were quick to \u200cmock Rapinoe, \u200cwho is \u200dknown for her blue hair, protest of the American\u200d national \u200danthem,\u200b and demands for &#8220;equal pay&#8221; despite \u200cthe women&#8217;s team generating far less market value than the men&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAll righty. So Megan Rapinoe, one of \u2062the most irritating \u200cpeople on planet Earth,\u201d Shapiro\u2062 said by way\u2062 of introduction. \u201cShe had an opportunity\u2062 to push the United States women\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-womens-soccer-player-explains-why-team-is-finally-standing-for-national-anthem\/\" title=\"U.S. Women\u2019s Soccer Player Explains Why Team Is Finally Standing For National Anthem\">national soccer team<\/a> into the next round. \u200dNow, she\u2019s most \u200bfamous for \u200chaving\u2064 blue hair \u2064and also for really hating America. I mean, the national anthem is bad and America is \u2063a deeply sexist and racist place, \u2063even \u200dthough they\u2019re paying her way too much money to play a sport no\u2064 one has ever watched, except once \u2063every four years when we all pretend \u2063to \u200cbe interested in women\u2019s soccer \u2063and all the rest of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shapiro acknowledged\u2063 that Rapinoe&#8217;s\u200b initial reaction to the loss was strange \u200bbut understood that people often handle bad news\u200d in peculiar ways. He didn&#8217;t fault her for laughing and \u2064then\u200c crying, as reactions to such situations\u200c can be unpredictable.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m not\u200c going\u200b to blame her for \u2062like \u2064laughing\u2063 and then crying. People do react in weird ways to bad situations. If you\u2019ve ever had\u200b to tell somebody truly horrible news, you don\u2019t know what to do,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I get that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Shapiro&#8217;s main issue with\u2062 Rapinoe \u200blies in her postgame interview and her focus on advocating for &#8220;equal pay&#8221; rather than her performance in\u2064 international competition.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe \u200dpart about Megan Rapinoe that is annoying is \u200dthat she\u2019s\u2063 Megan \u200dRapinoe,\u201d he continued, pointing \u2063to her postgame interview \u2064and the fact that after playing and winning in international\u200c competition, the part of her career that stood out most \u2062was scoring a point for \u201cequal\u2063 pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shapiro concluded by emphasizing that the real\u2064 problem with Rapinoe isn&#8217;t her missed penalty\u200d shot or her peculiar\u2062 reaction to \u200bthe loss. Instead, he believes \u200bthe issue lies in her \u200dcharacter and her constant portrayal of\u200d America as a terrible place, despite her own wealth and fame derived \u2062from a sport that\u200b lacks global interest.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAgain, the problem with Megan Rapinoe is not that she missed a\u200d penalty \u200cshot. A \u2063lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-bids-a-not-particularly-fond-farewell-to-megan-rapinoe-dont-let-the-door-hit-you\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro says goodbye to Megan Rapinoe, not with much fondness. He advises her not to get hit by the door on her way out.\">people miss penalty shots<\/a>. The problem is not that she reacted weirdly. \u200dWhen that\u200c happens, when bad stuff happens, bad\u200c stuff\u2062 happens,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe problem with Megan Rapinoe is\u2064 that she\u2019s kind of a terrible person\u2062 and \u2062that she\u2019s spent her entire career pressing for the\u2063 idea that America is a terrible, horrible place that has made her\u200b extraordinarily wealthy and famous for playing \u2062a sport that \u200dno one cares about worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Shapiro, former editor of The Daily Wire, shared his views on Megan Rapinoe&#8217;s disappointing performance in the World Cup.
