Ben Shapiro made a name for himself by eloquently dismantling the anti-American ideals of the liberal far-left. Now, in the wake of the United States Women’s National Team’s embarrassing defeat in the World Cup, Shapiro is back to doing what he does best. The Daily Wire personality and co-owner took to his podcast to eviscerate ultra-woke Megan Rapinoe for her conduct during her time on the USWNT.
Shapiro started the rant by setting the stage for Rapinoe’s epic failure on the biggest stage for women’s soccer. “Alrighty. So Megan Rapinoe, one of the most irritating people on planet Earth,” Shapiro explained. “She had an opportunity to push the United States women’s national soccer team into the next round.”
Then, to set the stage even better, Shapiro explained a number of the most egregious examples of Rapinoe hating America and expressing that opinion publicly to the world. “Now, she’s most famous for having blue hair and also for really hating America. I mean, the national anthem is bad and America is a deeply sexist and racist place, even though they’re paying her way too much money to play a sport no one has ever watched, except once every four years when we all pretend to be interested in women’s soccer and all the rest of it.”
When you spend most of your time talking about politics instead of focusing on your sport, an athlete needs to be sure that they can carry their weight during competition. LeBron James, for example, gets away with being outspoken oftentimes because he is one of the greatest ever to play the game of basketball. In the case of Rapinoe, she showed during this tournament that she is far from a world-class player.
Ben Shapiro explained how she let her teammates down on the pitch, saying, “Well, Rapinoe apparently had a penalty shot and she missed and the United States lost and they got booted by Sweden. And bizarrely enough, she started kind of laughing and smiling after she missed the shot. And she didn’t miss by a little, she missed by, like, a lot.”
Shapiro chose to take a different route from many American sports talk hosts, who bashed Rapinoe for smiling after missing the crucial kick. Ben explained that he understands that people react to bad situations differently and that Rapinoe may simply be someone who looks like she’s smiling during horrible moments.
Continuing on, Shapiro explained what he doesn’t like about the soccer star turned activist. “The part about Megan Rapinoe that is annoying is that she’s Megan Rapinoe.” Wonderfully put by ben Shapiro.

It’s not one simple thing that Rapinoe did to turn most of the country against her. It took an entire body of work over the course of years for her to completely destroy her public image. This is simply the culmination of her hard work.
