Rapinoe and targeted wokism
” The shocking and totally unexpected defeat of the United States women’s soccer team against Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great nation under Joe Biden. Many of our players were openly hostile to America. No other country has behaved in such a way. Woke equals failure. Nice shot Megan, USA is going to hell!!! In 2019, after the American world title, Megan Rapinoe refused to go to the White House, then occupied by Donald Trump. But the latter has a hard tooth.
