LAUSANNE, Switzerland — U.S. Women’s National Team and Seattle Reign FC star Megan Rapinoe responded Friday to the new guidelines from the International Olympic Committee on political protests at the 2020 Tokyo Games. “So much being done about the protests. So little being done about what we are protesting about. We will not be silenced,” Rapinoe wrote on an Instagram story Friday. The IOC published guidelines Thursday specifying which types of athlete protests will not be allowed at the 2020 Tokyo Games.

In a sane world, she would immediately be dropped from the US Olympic Team. Then she can protest to her hearts content.

Disciplinary action should include for violation of the rules, being stripped of any medals, ejection from the games and banishment from all future games plus a $100,000.00 fine per player involved. Protest that rainbow girls.

The big mouth thinks she is in charge. Hope there are enough grown ups left to explain reality to her.

Some people are just never happy, and nothing angers them more than anything inhibiting their ability to nag everyone about it.
Hey Megan why not relax, cheer up a bit and enjoy playing soccer while you’re young.
We can all read about your DWI arrest ten years from now, when you’re old and even more bitter at life than you already are.

Hmmm - - I don't remember Babe Didrickson, Althea Gibson, Peggy Fleming, Julie Krone, Mary Decker, or Mary Lou Retton berating us with their political opinions - - and they were all way, way better athletes than this ugly creature.

She may not be silenced, but she will not be listened to, either.

It's her own stupid sport she's hurting. Oh I forgot "soccer will be the next big thing in America", or so they've been telling me for 66 years.

She is NOT entitled to the platform of the Olympics, period. It is a privilege to participate -not a right. So-blow it out your wazoo you purple haired creep.

You didn’t pay for the stage, you don’t get to dictate the lines. Protest all you want on your own time. No one is silencing you them, (or listening).

The NFL got woke; maybe it's time for the IOC to become rational. Wouldn't it be just a hoot if the POTUS of the US decided it was too dangerous for ''our athletes'' to participate? Of course, each little sportlette could fund itself to the games.

I see the chairman of the International Brotherhood of Mouthy Lesbians is warming up for 2020. The whole point of the Olympics was for countries to put aside political issues and come together, even if for only a short time, just for the sake of peaceful athletic competition. Now, every Tom, Dick and Rapinoe has a cause for which they won't be silent, thereby ruining the party for everyone. I hope your clocks get thoroughly cleaned.

Why is it the people who screech "We will not be silenced!" are the ones who never shut up, are universally annoying/preachy/whiny, and almost universally ignored as well? Oy vey, ENOUGH, Megan. Don't go away mad, just go AWAY!

This is like the rules for the U.S. military.
When you are in uniform, you represent the U.S., so no political statements.
On your on time, whatever you want to say, as long as it is not sedition or treason.
I think this apply to football players in uniform, too. It's pretty simple.

Megan and her ilk want to use the stage created by the sports organization she plays for to be the amplifier for her Leftism. However, it's not HER stage. After the games, as a private citizen, she can go anywhere she wants to and say anything she wants to. The problem is, not many will bother to listen.
So many women have worked so hard to promote their various sports. Now, what happened to the NFL, people tuning out because of the player's antics, can happen to women's sports as well. You won't change many minds Megan. You will just make people dislike you and tune you, and your sport, out. No one wants to or has to listen to you. I'm sure all the others in your sport are going to be really appreciative of you sabotaging their sport and careers.

Rappin'-Hoe has not figured out that she is in the Entertainment business.
Insult the customers, make the customers angry (which is what she is working hard to do) and they LEAVE..... taking their CA$H WITH them.
No audience + no sponsors = no money.
After a while Rappin'-Hoe will actually have to get a JOB.
The Olympic players have a pretty good party going.
They should kick out the Rappin'-Hoe before she drops a Feces in the Punch Bowl.
