Megan Rapinoe answers questions during a Team USA press conference

President Donald Trump doesn’t understand a basic principle that I learned from my mother in elementary school: If you treat people with respect, they’ll likely respect you in return.

Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to blast Megan Rapinoe, a co-captain of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, after the soccer magazine Eight by Eight posted a video of her saying that if the women win the World Cup, she’s not “going to the fucking White House.” Rapinoe also said she doubted the team—which meets France in the World Cup quarterfinal today—would even be invited.

2. Hope Solo says US 'got lucky' in win against Spain

I saw that sour grapes-like headline a couple of days ago. I'm glad she's not on the field anymore. I'm a newbie to watching soccer, so I just want to enjoy it and not put up with watching the whiners making unnecessary controversy.
