Megan Rapinoe rips US Soccer for ‘blatant misogyny and sexism’ after teammates stage anthem protest


The fight between the U.S. women’s national soccer team and U.S. Soccer – the federation that oversees the women’s team and their male counterparts – got uglier Wednesday night. But Rapinoe made clear she wasn’t accepting the apology – which followed backlash from major corporate sponsors of women’s soccer, including Coca-Cola, Budweiser and Visa -- and claimed to be speaking on behalf of her teammates, who participated in the pre-game protest. “But to see that as the argument, as blatant misogyny and sexism as the argument against us, is really disappointing. So, everything that was in that deposition, what they said in the argument is just not true. Both sides have moved for summary judgments, asking U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner to decide in their favor without a trial.
