Bye Bye Megan Rapinoe and Your Unpleasant Life

November 14, 2023 — bunkerville

She ends her career just as she ended the World Cup Quarterfinals last August. This time we get a bonus with her comment about God. How easy to forget her unpleasant life. Sadly she is revered in soccer circles regardless of that unpleasant life.

Rapinoe lamented her plight and said, “I mean, I don’t deserve this, I’ll tell you that much,” she told reporters. “I’m not a religious person or anything, but if there is a God, this is proof that there isn’t.”

Let’s take a look back.

Last August I posted the highlights of her vacuous life.

Megan Rapinoe had a chance to send the U.S. Women’s National Team to the World Cup quarterfinals, extending her final appearance in the tournament by at least one more game, but with a missed penalty kick it provided a sour ending to her storied career.

Karma- Megan Rapinoe Ends Soccer Career With Awful Missed Penalty Shot: ‘Dark Comedy’

The narcissist speaks last August:

“I mean, this is like a sick joke. For me personally, this is like dark comedy that I missed a penalty,” Rapinoe said as she blinked back tears. “This is the balance to the beautiful side of the game. I think it can be cruel.” The only thing Rapinoe got right was when she said, “I mean, this is like a sick joke.” Correct, you and your team are indeed a sick joke.

Really?

Breitbart picks it up:

So, when Megan Rapinoe was winning everything there was to win in the world of soccer, hosting awards shows, meeting heads of state, and generally enjoying fame and fortune far exceeding anyone who has ever played her sport, this was not proof of God’s existence. But as soon as she gets injured at the very tail end of her career, that is indisputable proof that God does not exist.

Everyone got that?

Seems like a healthy way of looking at the world. Of course, what it is, in fact, is the very thing Rapinoe and her leftist cohorts claim to hate the most: privilege. Megan Rapinoe has had one of the most storied careers in soccer history – male or female soccer – in addition to all other accolades she’s compiled by achieving favored jock status by the left. And yet, with her admittedly bizarre twist of fate in her final game, she says, “I don’t deserve this?”

It sounds like someone feels she has a “special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.’ In other words, the dictionary definition of privilege.

It’s seems really convenient that on ‘her’ way out she welcomes in dudes pretending to be girls. She won’t have to shower with them, and she won’t have to be embarrassed by them on the field. Truly stunning and brave. Does anyone believe that she would let a tranny out shadow her on the playing field?

Somewhere there’s a little girl who plays at a Catholic school and idolized her. That sucks.

Laugh line…. Thank you Kamala. I would have never known.

US Soccer teams face huge fines who do not shortlist non-white job applicants

December 8, 2021 — bunkerville

 

Major League Soccer (MLS) teams have been handed a new diversity hiring policy which requires two or more non-white candidates to be in the ‘finalist pool’ – with potential fines topping $100,000 for clubs failing to comply.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber claimed the move is a continuation of efforts to “diversify the MLS ecosystem at every level”.

Ecosystem? No doubt this will soon expand into other sports as well. Golf should be ripe for the next sport. Will they get a “handicap?” Literally recall golfer Casey Martin?

The Supreme Court ruled decisively that Casey Martin, the disabled golfer who has been battling the PGA Tour over its walking rule for the last four years, has the legal right to ride in a golf cart during tournament play. The 7-to-2 decision rejected the Tour’s argument. (May 30, 2001)

Then we have this-

English Touring Opera sacks half its members citing ‘increased diversity’

The English Touring Opera (ETO) has cited “diversity” to justify not renewing the contracts of 13 musicians, nearly half its orchestra. Though employed on rolling freelance contracts, many of the players had been with ETO for 20 years or more.

Oscars new requirements for ‘Best Picture’ – includes cognitive disability, deaf

Not positive it worked out so swell for the Alec Baldwin and the movie folks making the film “Rust.”  Twenty-four year old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was the armorer on the Santa Fe set of the movie.

But I digress:

MLS Diversity Hiring Policy for MLS Sporting Positions

Prior to hiring any position listed in Table 1 below, the Team Operator must do the following as promptly as possible:

  1. Notify the League Office of the open position through the League’s Diversity Policy Portal (DPP).
  2. Ensure the finalist pool includes two (2) or more candidates from underrepresented groups, whereby at least one (1) candidate must be either Black or African American.
  3. Provide the League Office with information related to all candidates in the finalist pool through the DPP. 
  4. Demonstrate an equal interview process with comparable interview experience for all candidates in the finalist pool through the DPP.

The new rules, which the MLS board announced are aimed at a ‘more robust consideration of non-white candidates for open positions’, apply to sporting roles at clubs in the most high-profile soccer competition in the US.

They order that one of the candidates must be Black or African American ‘as part of a renewed effort to prioritize opportunities for Black candidates’. The policy previously only required one ‘diverse candidate’ to be interviewed for an open position.

As part of ongoing efforts to establish and develop a deep pipeline for sporting staff from underrepresented groups, the updated policy will apply to MLS clubs, MLS’ youth academies – MLS NEXT – and soon to the entire MLS ecosystem, which includes MLS NEXT Pro.

 

Specific updates to the MLS diversity hiring policy include:

  • The addition of a definition of “underrepresented groups” to specify that this term includes Black or African American, Hispanic/Latino(a), American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, Canadian Indigenous, Canadian First Nations, Women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
  • A new requirement to demonstrate an equal interview process and comparable interview experience for all candidates in the finalist pool for an open sporting position.
  • Clarification of public sanctions for teams that fail to abide by the policy, including up to $50,000 fines for first offenses, up to $100,000 fines for second offenses, and fines of more than $100,000 (pursuant to the Commissioner’s discretion) for third offenses and beyond. Previously, the Commissioner had sole discretion to impose sanctions as he saw fit.
  • A new commitment to review the policy annually and update it as needed.
  • The addition of a specific list of first-team sporting positions and academy sporting positions to which this policy applies.
  • The creation of a Diversity Policy Portal (DPP) in which clubs must submit all details of vacant sporting positions and include information related to all candidates in the final candidate pool.
  • The addition of specific guidelines for a process to request waivers to the policy, which will be granted only in extenuating circumstances.
