Can Megan Rapinoe ever be happy?
It’s doubtful. Highly doubtful. She’s so bitter and angry, in fact, that she had to take her dark, stormy, obnoxious personality and rain all over Team USA’s glorious gold medal parade.
During a recent episode of her podcast, “A Touch More,” with her wife Sue Bird, Rapinoe said that the men’s hockey team had “allowed themselves to be co-opted by a clown” when they invited FBI director Kash Patel into the locker room to celebrate their gold medal with a few small beers.

“In what I like to call a classic ‘ripping defeat from the jaws of victory,’ the United States men’s hockey team, in their utter moment of glory, childhood dreams come true, sensational, ruined it for themselves. They allowed themselves to be co-opted by a clown. And now you’re a clown. You look like a clown,” Rapinoe said.
