"Shut Up!" Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Soccer Player Megan Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe has basically been since 2016 doing the Colin Kapernick routine getting famous off the off the radical left social justice stuff that she has been pushing then that's the reason why she's really being celebrated today not because she's a terrific soccer player which she apparently is but because she is an outspoken lesbian because she is a very outspoken sjw on so-called equal pay issues even though again she's not really something for equal pay she's something for disproportionate pay from women on the basis of media coverage effectively and she has become this sort of obnoxious advocate for her position the reason I call it obnoxious is because I'm sorry but if you go to University of Portland on scholarship for women's soccer and then you're whining about this country shut up hey really there's a pretty great country when you get to go to college for free because not only did you kick a ball you kick a ball any sport people pretend to care about once every four years and like when I say shut up by the way I don't mean that she should be made to be quiet she can talk as much as she wants I'm just saying it's obnoxious because guess what it is obnoxious when she's kneeling for the national anthem in a country that is celebrating her as a heroine she yet she's getting paid millions of dollars to make ads for Nike about how she is a lesbian and outspoken and a soccer player it seems to me should be sort of grateful for the country that makes all that possible it seems to me you should be pretty happy about the country not sitting back and talking about how terrible the country is all the time more than that Rapinoe demonstrates an obvious unwillingness to even talk with anybody on the other side of the aisle now before people say why don't you talk with you you're criticizing her right I'm criticizing her specifically because she has evidence no desire to have conversation of any merit or substance on these issues instead she appears on media outlets that drool over her and ask her silly stupid questions and allowed her to get away with silly stupid answers so I want to give you a couple of examples of how Megan Rapinoe is being treated and how she says dumb things on a regular basis and nobody calls her out on it because again her intersectional credentials are in order because even though she grew up from what I understand middle to upper-class right when she's playing soccer from the time she was five years old she went to I believe a private high school I'm not sure she went to eat I know that she was playing on the on the junior soccer circuit and all of this she lived a pretty good life in the United States I think it's fair to say Megan Rapinoe has lived a pretty good life in the United States still she talks about how America is really really a bad place and then she also suggested that she didn't want to meet with people I mean it was really amazing she said she did not want to meet with people who disagree with her so here she is giving a shout out to Alexandra Ocasio Cortez because this is the kind of is what we're talking about here I know you've been invited by I think congresswoman Alexandria Cosmo Cortez I think Nancy Pelosi so does that mean is that an invitation you're taking up I think everyone is interested in going to Washington I think we've always been interested in going to Washington this is such a special moment for us and to be able to you know sort of leverage this room and talk about the things that we want to talk about and to celebrate like this with the leaders of our country is an incredible moment okay and then she continued by suggesting that she didn't want to meet with the Trump administration so instead of everybody celebrating together or maybe her making her point to you know people who disagree maybe she could make an affirmative case and said she said she's not going to meet with the administration because she doesn't want to be co-opted or used by the administration yes I am sure that that would have been the media coverage is Megan Rapinoe co-opted by President Trump it wouldn't have been her going to the White House and then mouthing off to Trump about equal pay or something that which is exactly what would have happened right that would have been honestly if I were her media advisor that's what I would tell her to do accept the invitation from the Trump White House go there and then make a comment directly to Trump's face about equal pay right that that would be the smartest thing for ado she's not gonna do that yeah I don't think I don't think anyone on the team has any interest in lending the platform that we've worked so hard to build and the things that we fight for and the the way that we live our life I don't think that we want that to be co-opted or corrupted by this administration and going to the White House would be in your opinion risk co-opting or corrupting your message yeah I think so I think it's it's an opportunity first administration to sort of put us on display as they're you know sort of guests for the day and I don't think that that makes sense for for us at all okay so quick Gretchen she went to a public high school not a private high school doesn't change the point she's living a pretty good life she also said in this interview that she had an immense sense of pride and responsibility by kneeling during the national anthem nothing says pride and responsibility quite like kneeling during the national anthem of a country that has fought for your rights to be an incredibly famous person based on kicking a ball and having the proper leftist messaging also Megan Rapinoe suggested that she would only meet with people who agree with her so she said she would go to DC and have a substantive conversation with quote anyone who believes the same things we believe in yes Wow doing doing amazing work on behalf of her perspective by meeting with people who already agree with her really really tremendous stuff the best part of this Megan Rapinoe interview is that she was asked how fans can support the fight for equal pay her answer is just incredible in the moments immediately following the final whistle you get that USA USA chant but equal pay equal pay along that same cadence I think fans want to know what they can do to support that fight fans can come to games obviously the national team games will be a hot ticket but we have nine teams in the NWSL you can go to your league games you can support that way you can you know buy players jerseys you can lend your support in that way you can tell your friends about it you can become season ticket holders I think in terms of of that that's the the easiest way for for fans to get involved oh you mean that fans can actually create the economic incentives for you to get paid more you mean that capitalism can actually raise your pay so what you're saying is that the reason you're not getting equal pay right now is because you're not making equal money for your league and the best way for you to raise your pay would be for people to come and purchase tickets and memorabilia from your team which suggests that this isn't about sexism at all this is about you just complaining about sexism for publicity and this sort of stuff and there's no follow up there at all of course you know in Rachel Maddow is never gonna do the follow up that's who's interviewing her there Rachel Maddow is never going to say to Megan Rapinoe so you're saying capitalism can actually increase your pay now that's never gonna be a thing that anyone on the left has instead we all have to pretend that this is that this is all normal and that it's not divisive at all and that truly she's a hero to everyone absolute absolute silliness absolute silence and bad for the country by the way when even the stuff that we take a break with you know sporting is turned into this it's pretty obnoxious
