When pampered athletes vow they’re going to stick it to President Trump by snubbing an invitation to visit the White House, they end up losing anyway.
Hopefully that’s not the case for the U.S. women’s soccer team, but if they do, they’ll have star player Megan Rapinoe to thank. She tells Eight by Eight that she’s not going, as some sort of epic Social Justice Warrior victory.

“Are you excited about going to the White House?” a reporter asked.
“I’m not going to the f*cking White House,” she said smugly.
“No. I’m not going to the White House,” she said as the reporter chuckled.
“We’re not going to be invited. I doubt it,” Rapinoe added, bitterly.
The U.S. women’s team, which is competing in the Women’s World Cup, is leading Group F and is undefeated, winning all three of its games to date.
Rapinoe is the same player who refuses to stand for the National Anthem, choosing instead to kneel to protest her own country over perceived injustices.
“We just expect to win every single game,” Rapinoe told Eight by Eight.
President Trump tweeted this morning that he is inviting the team to the White House, “win or lose.”
….invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!
