US Olympic Team Releases Megan Rapinoe After World Cup Blunder


Megan Rapinoe announced her retirement from professional soccer earlier this year. That means no more World Cups or league play after 2023.
Still, all athletes are eligible to try out for the US Olympic Team, of which Rapinoe has been a member for 17 years. This year, however, the team has asked that she step aside.

Respect doesn’t translate to a spot on the field, unfortunately. It looks like Rapinoe, who was also released from OL Regign, will be headed into retirement early.

What will that retirement look like? That’s hard to say. So far, we’ve had her lose a $25 million broadcasting contract with a frictional sports network, so right out of the gate things aren’t going well.

“This storyline is a little bit different,” said the guy who writes this stuff, “they don’t actually know or care about the sport they’re suddenly experts on, so we can literally make anything we want to happen to Ms. Rapinoe.”
