In case you missed it, women’s soccer star (and outspoken Trump critic) Megan Rapinoe was recently honored as Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year. As opposed to someone who actually did more than just criticize the president.
Well anyway, if you assumed she’d be grateful for the award, we regret to inform you that she’s still not satisfied:

More from Mediaite:
As one of just four women to win the Sportsperson of the Year award, she wasted no time in putting SI in the hot seat, saying in an acceptance speech, “Is it truth that I’m only the fourth woman deserving of this award? I don’t think so.”
“Is it true so few writers of color deserve to be featured in this publication? No. Is it true so few women’s voices deserve to be heard and deserve to be read in this publication? I don’t think so.”
YAS DRAG THEM QUEEN. https://t.co/VRyVJs6kLq

Hard to believe that she’s complaining about something. It’s very unlike her.

Gosh! WHO could have predicted that she would immediately bite the hand that feeds?

You know what? Let her. They’re all terrible. We won’t stand in the way of woke cannibalism.
Serves them right.
