U.S. Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe: 'I'm Not Going To The F**king White House'

Megan Rapinoe, co-captain of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, has no plans to visit President Donald Trump at the White House if the squad wins the Women’s World Cup now underway

In fact, she doesn’t think the record-breaking team will even be offered the opportunity.

Rapinoe elaborated in the print version of the interview published earlier this month.

“[Trump] tries to avoid inviting a team that might decline,” she said. “Or, like he did when the (NBA’s Golden State) Warriors turned him down (in 2017), he’ll claim they hadn’t been invited in the first place.”

Trump canceled a visit by the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles to honor their February 2018 Super Bowl win after most of the team’s players vowed to skip it. Based on comments by some players on the Toronto Raptors, the newly crowned NBA champs, a trip by the team to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is in doubt.

He probably doesn't even know the World Cup is even happening, and he rarely invites women's as it is.
