U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe complained that her national anthem protest was not well received despite her being a “non-threatening” white woman.
Rapinoe became one of the first white athletes to kneel during the national anthem and subsequently stated, “I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again”.
Now she’s whining that Americans weren’t impressed by her antics.
“I actually felt like it was going to be received a little better,” Rapinoe told CNN’s Van Jones. “Like, OK, well, woman, white, sort of non-threatening. No, that was not the case.”
She then reeled off a list of vague justifications for protesting against the anthem.
“You know mass incarceration’s happening. You know police brutality, you know the history of our country. For me, honestly it was kind of a no-brainer,” she said.
Rapinoe’s anthem protest may have been better received if she hadn’t behaved like a petulant, obnoxious child throughout and after the Women’s World Cup.
Rapinoe was caught on video ranting “I deserve this” while holding the World Cup trophy and appears to attempt to make herself the center of attention at every available opportunity.
The soccer star was also involved in an incident at the end of the final game where the American flag was dropped on the ground.
Candy bars made and sold by a small family-run business have triggered leftists into a frothing frenzy because they are adorned with President Trump’s smiling face.
Making confectionery great again, the treats were spotted in John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York by liberal author Malcolm Nance, a noted ‘muh Russia’ conspiracy theorist:
At JFK airport Terminal 1 I found this display of Trump branded chocolate for sale. It’s been there for a long time. The staff told me not one piece has sold. Why would they think foreigners would spend money on his picture is beyond me. pic.twitter.com/234cpus3D0
Candy bars w/ Trump’s picture on the label are the epitome of “kitsch.” They have so many uses beyond your typical chocolate bar: – for city dwellers without access to coal, great “you’ve been bad” Xmas items – Halloween “Tricks” – “Ironic” gifts on April 1, with#Triggered
Watch: Lefty BBC Comedian Booed Off Stage For Tired Brexit ‘Jokes’

Insulted crowd, and said “what you need here is far right comedians”
Update – A longer video of the incident has emerged:
A comedian who regularly appears on BBC programming was booed off stage and had food thrown at him within minutes of the beginning his routine because he spoke negatively about Brexit and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The tail end of Nish Kumar’s appearance was filmed by members of the audience at a charity cricket lunch in London. The footage shows Kumar refusing to leave the stage, and having to be escorted off.
“I know you want me to leave but I’m not going to do it. Absolutely not.” Kumar can be heard saying in the video.
He was also reported to have bragged to the crowd that he was doing the event for free, but they should have paid a “far right” comedian to do the performance, which incensed the audience even more.
“It was the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen,” attendee Jon Austin told the Telegraph.
“It was Brexit straight away. He came on and he killed the audience. It took less than a minute. People were booing him. He had bread rolls thrown at him.” Austin added, saying the event in aid of disabled children “wasn’t the place” for politics.
Kumar was also said to have made a joke about himself either looking like a terrorist or a Brazilian, depending on the angle.
When the crowd quickly turned, Kumar reacted by insulting them, calling them “Thick”. “He said ‘what you need here is far right comedians’,” Mr Austin said, adding “‘Far right’ – it was just deeply offensive.”
Kumar is known for routinely appearing on boring BBC panel shows where ranting about Brexit is somehow considered ‘comedy’. He also fronts a ‘comedy’ show called Mash Report on the BBC, where he parrots this kind of material ad nauseum.
In other words, he operates in a total bubble. Put him out in the real world in front of a crowd of middle-aged cricket fans, and this is what happens.
This perfectly underscores how sick British people are of being told what the ‘right’ way of thinking is by establishment hacks like Kumar. All he does is use comedy as a coat for imposing his political beliefs on others. It is simultaneously a horrendous misuse of the art form, and a smarmy declaration of moral superiority.
Kumar sardonically addressed the incident on Twitter, writing “In my defence, it was only one bread roll and it missed me.”
In my defence, it was only one bread roll and it missed me
He also posted a YouTube video of Bob Dylan laughing at newspaper reports that people had walked out of one of his concerts after booing him.
It can only be inferred that the suggestion here by Nish is that the people just don’t understand greatness when they see it.
The problem, however, is that Bob Dylan is undoubtedly one of the greatest artists of his time, whereas Nish is a guy who appears on scripted panel shows and at corporate events because he’s not talented or liked enough to score real comedy gigs.
