This excellent analysis at Vox highlights the viciousness and classlessness of the alt-right.
“In a politicized and misleading tweet, Benny Johnson wrote, “BREAKING: Woke US Women’s Soccer Humiliation … After winning back-to-back World Cups the heavily favored Team USA has been ELIMINATED by Sweden in the 16th round. Team USA’s downfall was delivered by anti-America, anti-woman activist Megan Rapinoe’s EMBARRASSING free kick …”
Benny Johnson, a right-wing commentator who was fired from Buzzfeed following revelations that many of his published articles were plagiarized, is an asshole who probably doesn’t remember (or care about) Roberto Baggio’s disaster… 猿も木から落ちる as the Japanese say… “Even a monkey will fall from the trees.” In other words, even experts can make a a mistake. And Baggio was one of the very best, and despite his heartbreaking loss in the World Cup, is still remembered as one of the greatest soccer players of all time.
So, Benny, shut the hell up about Ms. Rapinoe, who has more talent and guts and grit in her little finger than you have in your entire shriveled, twisted soul, and the rest of the amazing US Women’s Soccer Team. Seriously, sod off to wherever no one will ever listen to you again.
