Rapinoe: Not a fan of TrumpRapinoe has no love for Trump; in interviews, she has called him “sexist,” “misogynistic,” “small-minded,” “racist” and “not a good person.” So it’s unlikely that criticism from the White House will sway her, even if — especially if — it intensifies. Anger over NFL protests has cooled now, in large part because Trump has moved on to other topics and because NFL players have found more direct ways to combat injustice. But for a few weeks in the fall of 2017, the protest issue consumed the league, turning every game into a will-they-or-won’t-they political flashpoint. There’s no indication yet that the World Cup is headed in that direction; Trump leavened his criticism of Rapinoe’s stance with praise for the team. “I love watching women's soccer,” he said during the Hill interview. “They’re really talented.” But all it would take to change that and mobilize opposition would be one early-morning tweet from the president. Rapinoe and the rest of the U.S. team play France on Friday in the World Cup quarterfinals.
