Soccer star Megan Rapinoe said there is a “special place in hell” for people celebrating the injury that ended their career.
Last November, Rapinoe’s prolific soccer career achilles tendon injury It affected her deeply. In response, people praised her injury online, perhaps in retaliation for her political stance on certain issues. Rapinoe condemned these people on Tuesday’s “Discovering Pablo Torre.”
“It’s so sad that I wish it hadn’t happened. All I can think about is my teammates coming, but of course I’m sad. … That’s a little life,” Rapinoe said. “We want these perfect stories, and I’m a controversial figure and I want people to celebrate it in a low-key way, but at the same time I’m very dishonest about it, so that part of it too. It’s kind of funny. I’m like, wow, you guys are celebrating this in a special place in hell.”

Rapinoe also addressed those who said they were questioning the existence of God over her injuries, making it clear that they misunderstood the joke.
They missed all the jokes,” she said. “Don’t act surprised that I made a joke about the event or found a bargain. Yes, I’m going to find a funny bargain. Who is it for? God, me, religion. , the world? I don’t know.”
In the end, Rapinoe said the injury won’t detract from her career.
“I don’t think it takes anything away from my career,” she said. “I don’t think missing that penalty will take anything away from my career. In fact, it’s all part of my career. And if you don’t try, nothing will happen.”
