U.S. women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe has been named Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year for 2019.
The magazine announced Monday that Rapinoe, co-captain of the 2019 World Cup champions, was honored with "the most prestigious honor in all of sports media," which is bestowed annually upon an athlete, coach or team who "best represents the spirit and ideals of sportsmanship, character and performance." (Snip) She also took home the tournament's top honors: the Golden Boot, for the top scorer, and the Golden Ball, for the best player in the tournament, and in September was named Best FIFA Women's Player for 2019.

She’s gay and she hates America. The perfect choice.

Yeah. And I don't read the Sports Illustrate Swimsuit Issue anymore, either.

Yet more evidence of how deeply the left has infected all our institutions. More than a little bit discouraging.

She owns 40% of the LGBTQ. If she wasn’t GQ she wouldn’t have gotten the ‘award.’

She is almost as charming as Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. (Southern ladies, in unison say, ''How Nice.'')

What ideals are they talking about? Her hatred for America? Everyone knows what she can do with all those awards.

Looking for my shocked face.
Mark my words. Lisa Page will receive Person of the Year or an Oscar, Emmy, ESPY, Nobel. Ballsy Ford already got hers.
Kap and Rappinoe are covered.
Has that angry attorney that slandered Barron Trump gotten any noteworthy awards yet?

ABC News referred to Rapinoe as a "she".... Isn't that a big no-no?

Suicide by publishing. They're killing themselves and can't figure out why readership is so down.

They drag themselves down rather than elevating this piece of hateful, unsportsmanlike trash.

Never read it until about 2009 when a young lady who worked for us as a ranch hand won the state title for Track and Field the group event all by herself. She did it again the following year and that was the only time ever picked one up and read it. They didn't do her justice as to how hard she had to work with very little equipment, to very little formal training. They put Rapinoe on the cover and hold her up...not impressed as that chick has pretty much things handed to her and is treated like a pampered princess.

Her notoriety and euphoria will end very quickly. Why? She's not happy, but full of anger and hate. Such life-style statistically ends in tragedy.

"the most prestigious honor in all of sports media,"
That's worth a good laugh although I suppose all eight of SI's readers might agree with the choice.

So pathetically predicable. I grew up loving getting my weekly Sports Illustrated. Subscribed until about ten years ago. They quit being about sports. Liberals ruin everything. I wanted to cheer on our soccer team, but Rapinoe poisoned the World Cup win. SI, you honor that? Sad.

Can’t wait til Rapinoe and the rest of all the nation’s women’s sports teams are replaced by 6’6” transgenders.

Women’s basketball is actually closer to the men’s variety than is women’s soccer. There’s a reason why a decent U-14 boys’ team can beat the USWNT.
