Megan Rapinoe’s career took a downturn following a series of missteps. Her decision to kneel during the National Anthem and a crucial missed goal at The World Cup led to loss of endorsements and dashed hopes for a thriving post-retirement broadcasting career.
Now, the former soccer star finds herself in dire straits. “I have to file for federal bankruptcy protection,” she confided in her friend Joanne at their recent mahjong gathering, “I might have to sell my house.”
It appears to be a classic case of “you reap what you sow,” commonly known as “go woke, go broke.” Rapinoe has faced severe consequences, losing everything and potentially facing homelessness as early as next week.
“I’m trying to secure a position, perhaps at a discount furniture store or a car dealership,” she shared, “But even then, I won’t earn enough to sustain myself in California.”
This predicament is a result of her decision to reside in California, a state often criticized for its social issues. For instance, there’s a well-known individual with a disheveled appearance who defecates in public places, especially in San Francisco, leaving an unpleasant atmosphere throughout the city.
Additionally, other cities like Philadelphia struggle with public drug use, and in deeply progressive Massachusetts, there are laws in place to hold the police accountable for their actions, preventing indiscriminate use of force against citizens.
Rapinoe might soon experience firsthand the challenges of residing in a homeless encampment alongside individuals like the “poo guy.” Truly, it’s a stark reminder of the complexities within the American landscape.
Good for you, Mr. Eagleton.
You have every reason to be proud of yourself and your hard work and dedication.
