Megan Rapinoe, the renowned U.S. Women’s National Team star, is currently facing backlash on the internet due to a resurfaced video showing her ignoring a young fan while signing a soccer ball. The video was shared on Twitter by internet personality Oli London and has garnered over 4.6 million views. London criticized Rapinoe, referring to her as an “arrogant Narcissist” for not acknowledging the fan. The incident occurred at the 2019 ESPY awards in Los Angeles, where Rapinoe, 38, was sitting in the crowd. Despite signing the fan’s ball, Rapinoe did not make eye contact or interact with the young boy, instead turning to speak to someone else in the aisle. Piers Morgan, a contributing columnist for The Washington Post, labeled her actions as “diabolical arrogance,” while other users expressed their disappointment and sadness for the young fan and referred to Rapinoe as a narcissist. The video has attracted significant attention given Rapinoe’s recent loss in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, where the U.S. team was defeated by Sweden in the Round 16 match. Rapinoe missed a penalty kick, contributing to the team’s early exit from the tournament. Former President Donald Trump took to the Truth Social platform to criticize the team’s wokeness and blamed their loss on this aspect. Despite the loss, Rapinoe was seen smiling and laughing after missing the penalty, which confused observers. In response, Rapinoe explained that her reaction was due to disbelief at missing the penalty, as it was a rare occurrence for her.
