  1. Payton McNabb from Murphy, North Carolina, was knocked unconscious for 30 seconds after being hit in the head by a spiked ball from a trans player! Asked HER how she feels about biological men in Women's sports. And I wonder what Rapinoe would say if she had to play against a trans player? Easy to speak out when she never experienced it first hand!

  2. Si les US commencent à appeler football (le vrai de vrai) par son véritable nom (pas S*** ou le rugby pour bébé). Oublie ses shows de m** pendant la mi-temps. Peut-être qu'ils auraient plus de respect (Hommes ou Femmes)

  3. Nosé porque ESPN se aprovecha de cualquier cosa que ella hace para atacarla. Megan tiene razón, están usando a los trans para decir que defienden a las mujeres en el deporte, pero cuándo hay hombres que las acosan nadie dice nada

  4. ok Meagan, I am 80 and spent my life watching every game you played … world cup olympics , have your jersey still( tooooooo fat to wear it now )… gurl much gratitude for simply you being you.. you not only were brilliant in soccer but brilliant in life…. you truly have made a difference.. much respect ❤

  5. How nice for Desi she has a SON who plays soccer who will never suffer the pain of getting beaten by physically superior biological males no matter how hard HE trains and sacrifices — unlike someone's daughter. No wonder she can celebrate trans athletes with Megan Rapinoe who also never had to compete against biological males. Hooray for trans athletes!

  6. Women soccer is low level. Don't you ever celebrate it. These gals lose to 15 year old boys every time.
    If USMNT played against USWNT it would be 30-0 with minimum effort from the men.
    They are better at burning the American flag and refuse to sing the national anthem.
