FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 schedule, results: Megan Rapinoe cops vicious spray from Jason Whitlock
Team USA superstar Megan Rapinoe has been labelled ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘the Andrew Tate of LGBTQ feminism’ in an extraordinary attack by an outspoken US sports commentator.
Former ESPN and Fox Sports employee Jason Whitlock, who now hosts the Fearless with Jason Whitlock program on conservative media company Blaze Media, said he is not supporting the USA at this World Cup and is actively cheering for them to lose their knock-out clash with Sweden on Sunday.
And the reason, it seems, boils down to their star Rapinoe – who has used her status as one of the sport’s biggest names and been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights, equality in football and other progressive campaigns.
Comparing Rapinoe to controversial right-wing social media personality Andrew Tate, who is currently facing charges of rape and human trafficking in Romania, Whitlock said the veteran winger is the ‘ultimate pimp’ and ‘a fraud’.
“In the history of sports, no team has needed a comeuppance more than our women’s soccer team,” Whitlock said.
“Rooting against this American Nightmare is not unpatriotic. Rooting for them is.
“Rapinoe is the ultimate pimp. She is the Andrew Tate of LGBTQ feminism. She sees herself as a force for good, a force for freedom and proper femininity.
“She believes she is a threat to the establishment. She is popular, she is wealthy beyond her imagination, sexually liberated and adored by her followers.
“She is a fraud. She hates America because she hates herself. She is toxic. Her attitude pervades the national team.
“At 38, she is only on the roster to further burnish her brand.”
The two-time defending champions only scraped through to the Round of 16 on the back of a goalless draw against Portugal.
