Megan Rapinoe may be one of the greatest American soccer players to ever do it, but also one of the most controversial and unlikable professional athletes in the world. Most people focus on the drama and negativity surrounding others, so when Rapinoe went down with a career-ending Achilles injury in November, well, those same people weren’t exactly sad to see that happen.
It’s harsh that people would be happy to see Rapinoe end her career with an injury, but the harshness doesn’t make it any less true. Some soccer fans had a smile on their face when she went down with an injury. If you don’t believe that, you’re not living in reality nor do you spend much time on social media.
Rapinoe believes those people have a “special place in hell.”
“We want these perfect stories and I’m a controversial figure, and having people low-key celebrate it — but then also be so disingenuous about it, that that part is kinda funny too. I’m like, wow you guys are in a special place in hell that you’re celebrating this,” Rapinoe said on ‘Pablo Torre Finds Out’ sitting alongside her fiancée Sue Bird.
Torre then brought up Rapinoe’s press conference following the game in which she was injured when she stated, “I’m not a religious person or anything and if there was a God, like, this is proof that there isn’t.”

Torre, who spent years working for ESPN before joining Dan Le Batard and his crew of woke misfits at Meadowlark Media, claimed anyone who was upset that Rapinoe said that there was no God was just “disingenuously furious.”
This opened the door for Rapinoe to mock Christians yet again as she whispered into the mic “Somebody needs to check on the Christians, they’re not okay.”
It’s Simple, Megan Rapinoe Is A Narcissist
In Rapinoe’s mind, it’s funny to joke about there not being a God and Christians just “missed” it during her press conference.
It’s just more classic narcissism from Rapinoe.
For starters, the number of people who genuinely celebrated her injury is minuscule. We forget this more often than not, but the vast majority of people do actually have a functioning heart and a soul and don’t like seeing bad things happen. Any athlete ending their career with an injury is a bad thing.

On the other end of the spectrum, Rapinoe is very clearly continuing to live in a world where she doesn’t realize that words have consequences and meaning. She sat in front of a mic and said that God doesn’t exist, it doesn’t matter that it was a lighthearted comment, she portrayed the message and shared it with her fanbase of hundreds of thousands of people mostly made up of young girls.
She then doubled down with the joke about ‘checking on the Christians’ during her appearance on Torre’s show.
We get it, Megan, you’re gay and don’t see eye-to-eye with Christians or believe in the whole church thing, but when you continue to prod at the hundreds of millions of Americans who are Christian, you’re opening the door for backlash. She’d say that she could handle the criticisms but cried while mentioning it during Torre’s show in the most-favorable setting imaginable.
Rapinoe doesn’t see anything wrong with what she’s saying because her everyday environment has long been all about her. She’s surrounded herself with yes men, women, and surely a few pronoun pushers, and everything she says and does fits into some disruptive liberal puzzle out there. She lives in this weird utopia where the ESPNs of the world promote everything she touches when, in reality, a large chunk of Americans don’t agree with the majority of what she says or stands for.
Rapinoe’s narcissistic tendencies are undeniable at this point. She even managed to show them off during her sitdown with Torre without mocking people of faith at the same time.
At one point during the interview, she explained that her missed penalty that helped send the U.S. Women’s National Team home from the 2023 Women’s World Cup doesn’t take anything away from her career. She failed to mention how that missed penalty affected the careers of every single one of her teammates who may never be in that same position ever again. The USWNT’s coach was essentially forced to resign after the team’s exit from the tournament. The penalty may have been just one kick of many, but it certainly carried a lot of weight.
Rapinoe failed to comprehend any of that in the moment when she smiled and laughed after missing the penalty, and it’s clear she hasn’t come to that realization yet, either.
