If you haven't seen it yet, there is a mini-feud happening between USWNT and Seattle Reign star Megan Rapinoe and Donald Trump. You can catch up on the initial aftermath of the feud here.
USWNT teammate Ali Krieger spoke out today in defense of Megan Rapinoe saying that Trump is triggered by women he can't control or grope. Along with Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, she will also not accept Trump's invitation to the White House after the World Cup ends.
In regards to the “President’s” tweet today, I know women who you cannot control or grope anger you, but I stand by @mPinoe & will sit this one out as well. I don’t support this administration nor their fight against LGBTQ+ citizens, immigrants & our most vulnerable.

Some of the responses have been pretty entertaining as well
They play for our country Karen.
And they do it well.

When interviewed, Krieger defender her stance as well as Rapinoe's:
"I thought it was really important for me to not make her feel like she has to process this all alone. A lot of us have similar feelings," she said. "It doesn't take a lot of mindspace to tweet somethign like that, that's really important, and then refocus and turn it off. Women can multitast. Imagine that, we can do two things at once."
At this rate, Trump will be the only person present at his USWNT wine-or-lose post-World Cup party.
