Soccer star and political activist Megan Rapinoe asserted this week that boys, on the basis of their gender, are not inherently better at sports than girls in a tirade against sexism in sports.
The problem for Rapinoe’s argument is that her team of adult women was handily defeated three years ago during a scrimmage against a team of adolescent boys from Texas.
“To every girl out there, to every boy out there, who watches this team, who wants to be on this team, or just wants to live their dream out, you are not lesser just because you’re a girl. You are not better just because you’re a boy,” Rapinoe said Wednesday, The Independent reported.
Apparently the woke, anti-Trump soccer star has forgotten the events of April 2, 2017, when she and her teammates were demolished on the field by a team of teenage boys.
The fact seriously undercuts Rapinoe’s argument, when she and other professional soccer players failed to rise up to the challenge of defeating teen boys.
