Trump invites USWNT to WH after Rapinoe barb
10:41 AM ET
ESPN

President Donald Trump has invited the U.S. women's soccer team to the White House, regardless of whether they win the World Cup, after Megan Rapinoe's assertion that she is "not going to the f---ing White House."

Rapinoe, who has described herself as a "walking protest" to Trump's policies, made her recent comments about a potential White House visit to soccer magazine Eight by Eight.

"I'm not going to the f---ing White House," Rapinoe, the team's co-captain, said during the interview, which was posted to the magazine's Twitter account Tuesday. "No. I'm not going to the White House. We're not going to be invited. I doubt it."

Trump responded Wednesday morning with a series of tweets.

That says the team declines to be part of this attempted political spectacle. Please.

Like last year when the Warriors said "we're not going" he retaliated with "you aren't invited anyway"

Everything with him is the old "duck season-rabbit season" thing where he is going to say the opposite and insist on having the last word, whatever it is.

Remember how he canceled previous champs once he realized he was going to be humiliated by many not showing. The same should go for this. If ANYONE shows, she can be recognized as a dRumpf supporter in my book. This is NOT about the country paying respect, this is about sharing the fame with this coward in the Oval Office.

Usual disjointed rambling in different directions...


Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed, Black unemployment is at the lowest level...

in our Country’s history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House. I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet....
