"I’m not a religious person or anything and if there was a god, like, this is proof that there isn’t," Rapinoe said. "This is f---ed up. It’s just f---ed up. Six minutes in and I eat my Achilles."
Maybe she should consider that her injury is proof that there is a God.  |

Pretty sure God is busy doing other things at the moment.

It just makes the point that Rapinoe is the center of Rapinoe's universe.

I'll admit there was a little of the other too. Not necessarily God but karma.

She seems pretty arrogant. I am not a fan.
I am also not a religious person at all either. But I found her remarks to be inappropriate.

I'm not necessarily particularly religious, but to the extent I remain loosely involved in religion, I am particularly interested in theology. That was a singularly odd comment, very bad understanding of theology, which is, of course, perfectly ok. But yes, inappropriate. While the remark is arrogant or whatever, my point is folks have made very inappropriate marks for years. Today, everyone gets to hear about them. My word, she's an athlete who is retiring. She's not some icon. Just an opinionated athlete who is a bit outspoken. Which is also fine, I just pay no mind and move on. |

She will find a way to thrust herself into the center of something that is vicious and hateful and will make her money. It's who she is.

I do find myself wondering how she and Sue are together. Sue seems like a much different person than Rapinoe. To each his/her own.....

Rapinoe has been criticized for fund raising for Gaza but she has been mum regarding Isreal. That's odd considering her partner is Jewish and an Isreali citizen.
