Why Megan Rapinoe is 21st-century America’s Muhammad Ali

That the current national squad so willingly celebrated their Copa America win with him on the same day that the USWNT won the World Cup only made Rapinoe’s stance more laudable, and striking.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

And that’s problem she’s white she shouldn’t have a voice as a minority....

No not at all he is...she’s white so...

**Pulls out newspaper and rolls it up** No. Bad Independent. This is wrong. No Journalism for you tonight.

Fuck No!

Lool huh?

Do you guys know who Ali is?

not today, satan

Nope! This is racistly wrong.

Why The Idependent is 21st-century World's Shit ? that's the real question

I know our UK cousins are crazy about football & yes Rapinoe has gravitas & deserves kudos for her activism; but to put her on the same level as the G.O.A.T? Careful lest she's perceived as some kinda 'great white hope' for the LGBTQ community - you'd be doing her a disservice.

Woooow. Yall arms hurt from that super long reach. She is good but he is the G.O.A.T.

Not quite

to be fair, the contrasted privileges are not really commensurate - nor their accomplishments challenges or stature equal. but the woke wars do occasionally bring the worst out of us while the world slouches on ...

PulgasBoxeo thought you might enjoy this.

Fuck off. THe Greatest who despite racism and cultural oppression still became the best fighter ever and Icon. Compared to a girl who as part of a team who play in one of the few full time professional leagues in the world who get more funding than any other female sport. Lol.

Absolute trash journalism....how in the world could you compare her to Muhammad AliDo you know who he was? Shes done nothing to compared to that great man. Spoke a few loose words about Trump (because its fashionable) and that makes her a Hero? Who approved this SackEm

Ahh hell naw don’t Muhammad Ali to 🤷🏾‍♀️

The woman is vile

In order to meet that criteria she gotta - be anti-war - go to cuba for their incredible LGBT rights (much like ali and going to the ussr) otherwise i dont care

Colin Kaepernick would like a word with you....

Respectez le Champ. S'il vous plaît.

Comme il a dit Bassem nique ta grand mère

RaptorVsWild

😭😭😭😭😭😭

What the actual fuck

Nique ta mère

Boxing was just my way of introducing me to the struggle. My main fight is for freedom and equality. Money don't really mean anything because I gave up the WBC title not knowing if I'm coming back or not. - The Greatest. Please don't compare any athletes (male/female) to Ali 🙏

Who wrote this absolute trash.. worst comparison I’ve ever seen ffs

oO

Congrats for her accomplishments but this is Bull$hit ... delete this trash 🗑

What a shame to compare the Legend Muhammad Ali to the women version of Ninja ...

DarthJoker87 Hey mate, i know you love Megan Rapinoe so what do you think about that ? 😂

LMAO she is a dyke and that's about it . Just because she is a carpet muncher does not put her in the likes of Ali.

She is brave to take a stand and talk about issues, the difference between her and Ali though is, Ali was right! Why should she have equal pay to the mens US team, if they are that good and gender isn't a problem anymore... play in the mens groups. Let's see how they do...

B.S.!

Ptdr ok.

no No AND NOOOO

no

Wow

Oh helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll no

Ali is the king of the world Megan Rapinoes not even close

LOL

Wow just wow 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gay is the new All time great, civil rights leader?

Stop it just stop it

I didn’t even know she existed two weeks ago. Don’t disrespect the LEGEND.

you... have... got... to... be... kidding.... me.....

That’s enough twitter for today! 🤦🏻‍♂️

No

Sentence her to some jail time right quick. I'm tryna see something 🤔

gtfoh

SHE IS NOT

Evergreen college approves

Kestu racave fdp

Un torchon, allez niquer vos grands mères a comparer une légende de son sport et une grosse salope hautaine aux cheveux colorés qui ne mérite que pendaison

ntm la pute grosse pute de merde tu fais la philosophe ta grosse pute de mère a ta naissance qui a eu lieu dans une cave de Roissy En Bri elle ta pété ta rebondis contre un mur grosse salope arrete de croire t'es cr7 jtenvoi mon ptit cousin en poussin

Um....No.

Nobody heard of her until last week, every person on earth has head of Ali? Worst comparison I've ever heard

Bosinho14 pardon ?

Did u take DMT ? Damn it , u cant compare Muhammad Ali .... Muahmmad Ali is Muhammad Ali , no one can replace him... Megan Rapinoe is Megan Rapinoe . A hero stay a hero dont place any name on him.

C’est qui elle meme avec ses cheveux violet on dirait trunks

Jesus Christ👀🤦‍♂️🙃

Has she Parkinson ?

STOP PROPAGANDE

if i speak i'm in big trouble

Go home you're drunk!

Niquez vos races

arrête putain

Congrats on the worst article I've ever read MiguelDelaney ye Geebag.

Muhammad would punch her lips off

What a pile of shite, people are hating on mPinoe as she is making it all about her and not the TEAM. Nothing to do with race, religion, gender or sexuality. I doubt most people had heard about her till USWNT got to the quarter finals, mainly due to her comments about POTUS

Nique tout t’est mort

🤡

Hé hé! And some house negroes participate in general sabotage!

Compare this to how she treated a kid who just wanted her to sign a football and tell me there the same

let’s not get carried away now

Please dont, she is just simple a good player

Thirsty for clicks huh...

Utter nonsense

What a stupid article. Note to self; don’t ever read the Independent again. “Ali bomaye!”

She's no Muhammad Ali

What a nonsense piece

No she isn’t

dando_h you seen this 😂😂😂 defo fishing 🎣🎣🎣

FPShugo NeOnMaZeRtY

this is just so disrespectful. For what really? Shame

How you can compare this disgrace to the great Muhammad Ali

She’d get away with being a knob if she had talent to back it up

My god what are you talking about

C’est de trop la

You misspelled 'Moeen'.

Go home, The Independent. You're drunk.

Im a huge Ali fan and I have to agree with this article

I see you still didn't delete this

This is the worst thing iv ever seen, and I once watched a man shit in a pint glass and attempt to drink it, this made him vomit into pint glass which he again drank and yet, this offends and disgusts me more.

One uppercut and she'd be down.

How about Rapinoe is Rapinoe and Ali is Ali 🤷🏾‍♂️? She doesn’t have to be a rehash of anyone. She is her own person and Ali was his own person

🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow, way to early to even use Muhammad Ali’s name.. Have some respect..

Who fucking did this?

Oh fuuuucccckkkk offffffff

Dont talk such utter back door

Ya fucking what

EQUAL PAY 🤣

Please tell me your going to delete this?!.... how disrespectful to Muhammad Ali

Nope .

Wath? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This couldn't be more wrong, like how tf the one who wrote this didnt see it 🤷‍♂️

Beyond absurd 🤤👎

This is a bad take, and you should feel bad for bringing this up.

MiguelDelaney what a ridiculous and baseless article! Literally embarrassed by the desperate attempt to draw some sort of comparison between possibly the greatest sportsman in history & Rapinoe 🙈🤯😂 Truly worthless writing Shame on you

PhoebeArfaras lol 🃏

YOU WHAT? W A L O F S

Pops on Twitter...pops off Twitter.

The main difference between those two is that Muhammad Ali was good at his sport

Get outta here with that BS!!! I can think of plenty of other people in sports then her smh

There will never be another Muhammad Ali. Stop virtue signalling

Oh my god, this needs to stop. Ridiculous comparison 🙈

Hahaha hahahaha haha hahahaha Ali? Lends that crack pipe cocker ffs

Not in the same league 🙄

please delete your twitter account it’s embarrassing

Non

Not even remotely close, she’s just some big egoist who hates this country and the flag. Also, there’s wayyyyy better athletes out there who have won people’s hearts. Not somebody nobody cared about until two weeks ago

I like her but this is some proper dumb shit

Hahahahahaha fuck off

Y a plus de respect...

VIETNAM ?/

There's still time to delete this.

I saw the headline for this and thought, 'this will be shit'. I read the article. Yep, pure shit

Yanis_Msf t'en penses quoi ptdr Future présidente des SJW

Nope, don’t be silly.

No

Hé sans rire niquez vos mères

😂😂😂😂

No

Fuck off, you are joking right....? Four weeks ago no one had heard of her, and she’s now turned a great team success in to her own media look-at-me attention grab.

Hahaha No

You’re on the sauce and you need to stop, this is absolute trash.

donkmunk wow

How dare you...

SHE IS NOT

Nah fam.

Oh just F off

That is fucking ridiculous

No

Delete this disgusting tweet and article. Thanks.

We really have to do something about your folks and your shitty analogies.

Delete fdp

The stupidest analogy ever! She couldn’t even walk in Muhammad Ali’s shadow!

Everyone reading this is facepalming for eternity. I'm not even going to waste my time reading it because it's already bullshit just from the headline.

What a shame, who wrote this? How dare you?!

piersmorgan thoughts on this?

Oh my God, I'm going to lose it

The fucking disrespect smh

Ahah yes, she is also MLK ?

adrienraza69 wlh jai mal

Yeah because fck Lebron just and the things he’s done for children. Smfh.

They drinkin that sauce. Comparing a person who took a political stance for all Americans but esp the black community against an injustice war and draft to someone asking for more money? (not wrong, but clearly a self interest) Journalist morally enshrining their own causes

Have some shame!

No, no and NO

Enough is enough man. C'mon

And ofc you write that shit when Mr.Ali is dead cause you know that he would have thrown more than shit at you for writing this

dipza21 Nabilonfekir698 wow

KeKe2Patch92i krrkrr

I believe a young man named Colin would like to have a word with you

Wow 😂😂😂

MiguelDelaney you deserve to be sacked! That article is very embarrassing! MuhammadAli was the people champ! This vile woman is a self centred disgrace to the sport. Please don't ever write an article again! SackDelaney

Don't disrespect Ali, with this nonsense. Talk like this the first time she denouncces the invasions & drone bombings of Black/Brown countries, to the detriment of her position on the USA team. She's not even close.

MiguelDelaney You say in the article how much Ali 'sacrificed' for his beliefs.. his title for 8 years, willing to go to jail, etc. What's Rapinoe sacrificed for hers a peaceful social media feed? Lazy, daft comparison. Still, I clicked. So job done. 👍

You should be embarrassed about putting this into print

Just skipped right past Kaepernick, huh? Qwhite interesting. 🤔🤔🤔

She really, really isn’t. Good athlete but nowhere near the class.

Trash 🗑 vibes

What utter shite. Please, for the love of god, read the comments to this tweet and pull the article

Too much dip on your chip

Yeah, I mean, she’s not really though, is she. 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

just because she's willing to open her BIG mouth doesn't make her right

WOFLIB Go see nursey for your meds, talking rubbish like that.

Everyone report this page. And I love Megan.

Nope, nope, nope

Logging out, I'm done.

This is wrong and disrespectful.

Apples to oranges. Quit trying to compare someone whose stances, though respectable, do not compare to Ali, what he sacrificed, what he faced, etc. What a bs and disrespectful headline👎🏾

“it’s simply inconceivable – by the sheer maths of it all – that more players don’t have at least some views on any of this.” Spot on MiguelDelaney 👏

Blocked ... for talking shite!

No. We’re not gonna do this.

You demean Ali’s extraordinary legacy and reinforce the pathological impulses of this pathetic, emotionally unbalanced personality. I know, I know, sexist and misogynistic.

Mohamed Ali est une légende , elle n’est rien comparé à lui c’est pas qui ira discuter avec un dictateur pour libéré des otages

You’re out of your mind. Not remotely to Ali’s standard what he went through. Ridiculous

Take it down mate. MiguelDelaney

Women world cup impact

I mean, just yikes xD

Don't insult humanity like this please. It's already Wednesday, and we're moving on from Sunday Esque league level female football. Don't go overboard...

And just like that...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fkin LOOOOL Not_MSM_News toocolddragon

Is this the Onion?

uhh...nope

GTFOH! Ali went to jail and was vilified for his beliefs. Rapinoe is beloved, goes on talk shows, gets cheered at parades, etc... Ali was the Greatest Heavyweight Ever. Rapinoe is a good player. Shes not better than Carli Lloyd, or Ellen White.

If you even dream of writing this article again you better wake up and apologise.

She has a long, long way to go before joining such illustrious company.

Not quite on Ali's level.

That is quite an ambitious leap 😂😂😂😂 nice try though

Time to take another break. 😂

How dare you put them in the same sentence

If anyone has ever wondered why nobody takes the media seriously then look no further

Dey so woke . Y'all need to catch up.

She has not spent 5years in jail and then renewed her prowess as an elite athlete. Be sensible. More like a Billy Jean King.

Hollywood is controled by gays and it has been the main media wing 4 WS spewing negative images of Blacks 24/7 for decades, LGBTQ is just another form of WS to revert wealth/power back to Whites, placing another of theres at the table in our stead CON-FIDENCE game! LiberaWS

Why the Independent writers are the stupidest of all. Being a foul mouthed lesbian is hardly a comparison with probably America's all time top sportsman.

Da fuq did you say

This has to stop , it was just a women world cup

Embarrassing.

I didn't know Muhammad Ali played women's football

That's just disrespectful.

joe_foley

Hahahahahahahaha good one.

piersmorgan

Muhammad Ali is the biggest sporting icon in history. She’s a clown with pink hair.

Oh no

Greggs03

Yeah, nah, fuck up mate

Crack kills!

Ali fought the best and beat them in style, sacrificed his prime years for what he believed in, became a legend, loved by millions. Rapinoe: purple hair, won women's wc, that also got beat by 15 year old boys, made a few outbursts online. She's not even a pimple on Ali's ass.

🤣🤣

Whoever published this needs to lay off the glue. What an absolute shambolic statement 😂😂

And here is why English media is the shittiest of all !

Oh do shit off!

What is she willing to jeopardize or give up for the mainstream cause she’s voicing for? Her freedom? Her title? This is a joke...

Muhammed Ali did not lose to 14 year old boys. Rapinoe did.

No no no no no no no

😂 😂 🤣 She's racist if that wee guy was white she would have seen looked at him

No muff too tough

Try this again when she goes to jail for her beliefs

The End... I give up

One was a guy who caught for what he thought was right, the other is a bloke with a dodgy haircut. Strange to say that

Your account is hacked probably...

...what?

I’m so glad I don’t read the filth that is the independent.

No. She was never stripped of her right to play soccer. You just jumped the shark! White people always trying to co-opt black excellence. Stop it. Racism is everywhere.

I’m on her side but

Ffs

Fake News!

Blocked 🖕

Oh no

Lol nawww

Great that migueldelaney has blocked me..as this take is his most ridiculous to date. Many of her teammates are also Gay. They are not having any of their rights infringed..What has she sacrificed exactly? She has refused to go to the White House.. just like the NBA Champions

Sorry, but this woman is a disgrace and what she represents is a self centered disrespectful -- type of culture that needs to be admonished not celebrated. There is a back lashing coming for this type of behavior.

Buzzing. Means she will be shaking like a shitting dog soon.

Nice way to get responses

HAHAHA ok now let's get serious.

noooooooo lol

Disgusting.

Mohammed Ali had wisdom and intelligence, to even put these two in the same sentence is embarrassing

The great man will be spinning in his grave!!

Let replace all great black figures with white folks who did less, shall we?

Is this banter? Clearly written by somebody who has not the slightest bit of knowledge about Muhammad Ali and everything he was and is. This article is verging on disrespect. Desperate attempt to purvey something that isn’t there for a click.

Who was the clown who came to that conclusion?🤢

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO WTF

You can it compare the two....Ali was a pure one-off, this is ludicrous.

Don’t do this, it’s embarrassing.

Ali would knock her out in less than a round what a load of bollox

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think Colin Kaepernick is America's 21st Century Muhammad Ali

I don't know who wrote this article or who approved it, but neither had any historical perspective at all if you are seriously comparing her to MuhammadAli. He fought for civil rights and was willing to sacrifice everything for it. What has Meghan ever sacrificed? TheGreatest

WaveGameDumb Erase this shit article b4 the rest of the world awakens and sees your ignorance. Do you even know why Muhammad Ali is? No seriously?

Uhhh.

Am I the only one that just got to know this woman during the just concluded world cup?

Have some respect for Muhammad Ali and his religion. MiguelDelaney

Hold on a second. Someone like her isn't that impacted by racism. I appreciated her lending her voice, but she's not like Ali at all.

Hey yall always talking about dog whistles... This is a train horn of white savior nonsense and racism... Lemem put it in terms you'll understand We👏🏾don't 👏🏾need👏🏾 yall👏🏾 fake 👏🏾wokeness👏🏾

This woman has faced nothing close to what Ali faced. The man changed his name, sacrificed his prime and was willing to do jail time for his beliefs.

This is shambolic

Wow Muhammad Ali of all people. That's disrespect on another whole level.

She really isn’t But nice try She’s more Harvey milk

Greatest boxer of all time versus a lady that can’t beat a under 15 team.

Why do news outlets exaggerate so hard? Like chill. Megan is woke, Megan is dope but this right here ain’t it.

To be fair I didn't know who she was before all this kicked off 🤷‍♂️ now I don't care to know

MiguelDelaney

SonnyStewart17

how can I unsee something

Hell no, not even close.

This Miguel Delaney, who wrote the article is so disrespectful comparing Muhammad Ali with Megan, M.Ali went to jail, stripped of his belt, made bankrupt as Uncle Sam tried to make him public enemy no1 all because he was black and didn’t want to fight racist wars? Really? GTFO

Was he also beaten by a 15 year when at his peak?

jay_billingham

You’re only saying that because it’s true.

Hahahahahaha

We need to shut this down right now and declare it a crime scene... someone’s going down for this sh!t

As about as reckless a comparison I’ve EVER heard. While you’re at it why not call Cardi B this generations’ Aretha Franklin?

“You even dream of comparing her with the greatest you better wake up and apologise” twt

nopecantdo Both sides are so stupid. One side hates her for her arrogance or whatever & belittle's her achievements. Second side is so desperate to fight for her they start comparing her to legends like Ali. She or anyone currently ain't done half of what Ali as a sportsperson or human did.

Delete this story. She has to be more disliked than Kim Jong-Un

This is what feeds her ego. She's currently more famous for her spat with trump and for her dancing than what she should be famous for. And that's all down to her and her ego

How many bottles did you drink before putting that caption?

She wouldn’t have been good enough to stand in his corner let alone be compared to him. Get a grip!

Imagine showing such disrespect to the 🐐

😂

Not even close f$cktards can't wait for her 10 mins of fame to calm down her face is annoying

She's a great athlete and should be proud of her accomplishments but to compare her to Ali is a little much. Once her career is over she can be compared. She has much more to accomplish to be on Ali's level. He transcended his sport on so many levels. He was bigger than boxing.

Never heard about her until she spoke about Trump. Watch her play football and she sucks.

On that headline alone I'm not gonna even bother reading the article

How can one get down to that level of stupidity?

KevinKelly1992 Don’t ever disrespect this man ever again. Wow I’ve seen it all now 🤭🤭

Far from it ,what idiots write this 💩

Amazing how Ali was hailed as a hero for not fighting for America in Vietnam yet Bush and Trump have been pilloried for the same thing

Oh ffs

Have you ever thought about writing for the Beano MiguelDelaney ?

Garbage comparison, Ali liked his fans he has never disrespect them, don't compare him to that woman ,it is a disrespect

Oh dear.

tiesthatbind09 Friendly reminder

No wonder you get slated so much

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

No.

Twitter is disgusting these days..

MiguelDelaney the pleb who wrote this article

What utter rubbish!

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. STOP IT.

21st century Ali? I don’t think so....

Now getting compared to Ali haha.

Get ready to ratio...

What a load of crap

No one should be ever compared to Mohammed Ali. Stop that bull$hit

Fuck me. Thought the headline was bad, the piece is even worse.

Wow I can't even. Reported you for this sacrilige!

Haha what a ridiculous article. Good luck to her, but in 12 months time, few will remember her. In 150 years time though, people will still be talking about Muhammad Ali

No.

This so click-baity. She doesn't need to be the 21st century Muhammad Ali... She is Megan Rapinoe. Why is there a need for a parallel when it really is just not the same

😂😂😂 the funniest joke of this century

Delete your account

C’mon. No body knows her before she complained. No offense but M.Ali is legend known everywhere in the world. This gal is not even known in the USA. Btw, for fam gals out there, it has nothing to do with her gender. If you say the same about Michael wilcox, I would say the same

Who?

That's the dumbest comparison ever - c'mon man.

Are white people ok?

She's not and she can never be..... Writer must be high

Wayment

Are we seriously pedalling this narrative?!

Ali: great boxer at a time when boxing was the most popular sport, loved by fans for skill and personality. Rapino: plays a sport that noone watches. Is best known for her hate-ivism rather than skill. Does she have any soccer fans? These 2 arent even close to comparable.

Delete this. Delete delete delete

She’s good but lmao no not like Ali, goddamn

Riiiiiightttt ! Leave the 🐐 outta this loose talk please

I love her but they buggin buggin

🤣

You should not use Mohammed Ali's name in vain to proselytize LGBT.

you literally just want people to hate this woman more huh? shes amazing but Ali man stop the foolishness

Wow....what a load of complete bollocks.

This the type of bull shit that make people delete their accounts

That's gonna be a no for me dog

delete rn

*stares in Kaepernick*

wtf

Whoa chill fam

Officially the dumbest article ive ever read

Yeah 😂🤣 no!

Wtf is this!!!!?!!!

Whatthefuck

Is she willing to go to prison for her beliefs?

Y’all really tried it !

Sorry no

Love Pinoe but

y’all always gotta take shit too far 🤦🏾‍♀️

Excuse you?!

And I’m the Abraham Lincoln of my CVS.

She’s cool, but definitely not on that level. I swear you guys over memorialize white people with priviledge for being decent human beings

What?

nope

Good post op

InternSzn

Y'all are smoking crack.

Now I like Megan but no! Just no!

I’ve lost all respect for MiguelDelaney w this piece. To compare her to Ali!? Sorry, cannot take you seriously ever again!

Really! Not impressed.

Well, they do both have dicks

'Here are two people who make me uncomfortable because I'm a bigot. They are the same!'

🤡

Nice clickbait. No one can be this insane

Delete your account.

This is an insult to Muhammad Ali!!!!

She can be brave, outspoken, and worthy of accolades, without comparing her to Ali. I'm a fan of hers, but putting her up to Ali does a disservice to both of them.

SHOCK males putting down a successful female athlete (in the comments) because their masculinity was offended. Guaranteed 99.9% of them didn't even read the full article. 😴

She may be good in her own way.but she cannot be compared to the Ali

Y’all trippin

Let’s not get carried away now

All the hot takes on MR that never include the name of Kaepernick7 who was actually the person she was emulating when she knelt during the anthem in 2016. If there’s a Muhammad Ali of our generation, it’s CK. He’s paying with his livelihood, not MR, no disrespect to her.

I’m sorry

Nope

No. No. No. She is great but not The Greatest.

Didn't Lloyd Bentsen say something about this?

tiesthatbind09 😂😂 Who?

Nowhere near Ali. An insult to think so. From what I see from the outside is a very unlikeable cocky cow.

Why can't she just be herself And as great as she is, let's not make this comparison until she diffuses an international hostage situation, talks down a jumper, and loses everything for consciously dissenting to a war only to gain it all back and more

Deshy_07 akshay_soni1 sumehn_sewraj

Looooooool 😂

this is too much

RRichar47268419 Come on now, she's a badass but at zero wall personal risk. This denigrates Ali's legacy of courage in a number of fronts, in the face of actual danger.

She’s nothing.

Ugly wo-men

This the same as when clothing brands make racist garments. It's done to get a reaction and clicks. They don't even believe that headline and I won't help their SEM numbers trying to prove that point. Oh! And the real 21st-century version of Ali is Colin Kaepernick

What Stupidity is this THERES LEVELS

Fuck this comparison

Say no more

Most articles like this are paid for by PR firms. She is actually despised by the vast majority of her teammates. She’s known as a glory seeking, me first vile individual... ask her teammates, you’ll find maybe 4 who have anything positive to say.

Definetly something, but not Muhammad Ali

この人なんかも、ビリー・ジーン・キング氏と同じように、正しいことを思ったとおりに言って、実行している=男らしい・・・みたいな評価を、21世紀だというのに、されているのが違和感もりもりだな。カッコいいのは事実だけど、それは「男らしい」ことなのか? 性別の問題ではないと思うんだけど。

Sadly your just a flash in the pan!!...Muhammad Ali was a true champion!!....you are just arrogant and obnoxious!!...you need to wind your neck in 👎😡

FOH

Pro tip: Not even in the ballpark.

Stop this! Rapinoe herself rebuffed this comparison!

NOPE

Really you don’t think Kapernick would have something to say about that.

Nv

I think she's Donald Trump

The person that made this article

You are a full blown certified and licensed lunatics. You have no concept of the reality of the fact that Muhammad Ali was very probably the biggest sports figure of the second half of the 20th century. mPinoe not even remotely close.

Yup, exactly the same

Is it because she went to jail for her beliefs resulting in her ability to make a living being stripped from her?

No.

Calm

She's great,but she ain't no Ali.

Haha haha Sorry Muhammad Ali

😂😂😂

The disrespect

This may be the most outrageous and incorrect heading ever! To compare anybody least alone her is pure stupidity. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

danieljohn4 OMFG

Rapinoe is probably not a top-20 US Women’s soccer player.

You win. That’s the dumbest headline I’ve ever seen. Congrats.

piersmorgan 😐

No she’s not

She is an inspiration for sure but that's a big leap

Common mehn, you taking a piss now.

This would be hilarious in its stupidity if it wasn’t a complete affront to the legacy of Muhammad Ali.

Delete this tweet

FFS - what an insult to Ali.

1. She didn't fight in vietnam 2. See 1

Yeah no

Just stop.

Hash1Egg Ohhh Dear 😂😳

Please. Don’t. Go. There.

She got parkinson?

IMO this post insults the great legacy of Muhammad Ali, whose actions reflected a desire 2 improve living conditions of African Americans. He wanted to improve the collective greatness of the USA for all. Ms. Rapinoe wants to tear the country apart. Ali = class; Rapinoe = trash

21st-century Joey Barton more like.

And Twitter just killed ya boy...

Too much dip on your chip there, guys. I mean, she is awesome but...

RIP your comment section

Not Kaepernick7 ?

Megan Rapinoe is Megan Rapinoe and that/she is enough. Y’all should be fired into the sun for this mess.

Ali - People’s Champ! Kaepernick - People’s MVP! Rapinoe - for now Captain USNWT

Insulting to the GOAT Muhammad Ali. Whoever wrote this article should be fired and locked up.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................................

LOL ffs 🤣

Naw

😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

Is she fcuk

I like her but I cant with how implicitly antiblack and racist this is

Lol

What a fucking disrespectful and utterly sad thing to write. Absurd. To invoke the name of Muhammad Ali, in this light is shameful

She is the worst kind of 21st century parasite DO NOT I repeat Do not compare her to legends like ali

ENOUGH

She was arrested

Please dont

Let’s use a privileged white women to stand in the shoes of Ali

GTFOH WITH THIS BULLSHIT She’s a culture vulture, who hates men , wants to be one to showcase false bravado and gain a level of acceptance she can’t as a woman. Typical AllEyesOnHer if it’s not this, than, they’ll do anything to put the spotlight on them FOH

C’mon now. Love her but no.

Ali? No. She’s the 21st century boy Goerge.

somebody deserves an ass-whooping.

Keep the champ out of your mouth if this is what you’re going to say

Ok. Take couple days off mofo

This is a huge insult to Ali.

Miguel Delaney writing complete shit for attention as usual.

what is wrong with y’all? quickly.

Twitter was a mistake

Mohammed Ali was something more than athlete. Don't compare Mohammed Ali to a Psycho with a mental illness.

Loads of respect for Rapinoe but let’s slow down here a minute.

Ali gave up his belt, his career, and money in his prime because he didnt want to kill people. Rapinoe hasn't sacrificed anything. Plus, in today's woke times, she actually makes more money for being outspoken. She is nothing like Ali.

Over-stepped there, friends.

Puhhhhaaalleeasseee

Oh please

Alright, this is blasphemous.

No. She is not.

21st-century Muhammad Ali...what a ridiculous comparison

Complete and utter garbage. The most ignorant and inconsiderate comparison.

FFS

And there it is lol

Farcical MiguelDelaney

I doubt she can take a punch

I mean it's possible she has Parkinson's but I don't see any other similarities

Is this real?

Say What?

you stupid people. Kaepernick7 is America's muhammad Ali. i respect what she stands for but dont act like her efforts are near what Kaepernick7 has endured. shes only just started.

And more importantly, why she isn’t even close to that😂😂😂

Leaked text between the writer of this article and Rapinoe Pinoe: Writer:

Do me a favour - click bait

lmaooooooooo

Oh I get it. I fell for it. They do this shit for clicks. Gotcha. My bad. Good shit independent. I hope to not fall for this bullshit again.

No

Oh......perrrrrlease 🤪😂

Missed the part where Ali got beat by a 14 year old amateur....

She's just a fukin megabitch twatess

Thoughts? bloomooner

correct me if i’m wrong, but not every christian thinks that gay people will go to hell?

Don’t even go there

No. That would be Kaepernick

Comparing a soccer player that couldn't beat 14- and 15-year-old boys to Muhammad Ali? Wow!

No, cut the crap. Quit trying to hijack the Black people movement of the 60’s.

Never ever disrespect Ali like this! Seriously?!

una don start again!

Rapinoe is an absolute clown. Nowhere near this man 👇🏻

I love Rapinoe but hell no. So disrespectful to the impact of Ali

I love Megan but this is absurd.

Are you stupiddddd

Lol what bullshit is this.

He could not hold Ali's jock strap......but he may be able to fill it

No she's not.....

..such stupidity😒

this is not funny. Is it April Fool's Day? Are u freaking serious ? Please stop writing!

Haha. That headline is just asking for it. Well played.

You have the audacity to compare her to whom?

The only thing in common they have is a penis

Ali was blackballed in his prime for 3 years for his sacrifice, while she jumped on someone else's bandwagon and has done nothing but seek attention for herself

Re. Lax!!!

That’s quite a stretch

Ffs!

This has to be satire. Absolute fucking nonsense to compare the two😂

delete

Muhammad Ugly

That link better just say “She’s not.”

Totally ridiculous comparison

The corporate media hates black people

yeah because she plays in a time where people her colour are being lynched and segregated and then sent to fight in Vietnam

Listen, I love Megan Rapinoe but she isn't even close

AndrewAshton_ clayton_neil1 MaztamimiPD

No.

I've just vomited my soul.

2PieceBox AsylumBOTW Muhammad Ali

Draft dodger?

Bollocks

Please don’t insult the greatest athlete to have ever graced this earth.

She was so last week.

Why do we have to make these dumb comparisons? We like her, this isn’t needed.

😂😂😂

Ha.! Imagine.

I like her but to say that is bonkers.

I love Megan but Ali was convicted in a court, stripped of championship and boxing license and banned from competing during his prime years

Miss me with that

Dunno if it's a clickbait headline or if MiguelDelaney is actually an idiot

Please never compare no one to Muhammad Ali

🤢

No, she’s nothing like. She’s a disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporter who can’t accept she lost to Trump. She just has entitlement & narcissism problems, nothing like Ali.

No disrespect to Megan but she’s not even privileged enough to be mentioned in the breath as the great man ,plse leave our icons alone that’s all we have don’t you think you guys taken enough off black peoples

Surprise surprise white man who has no idea what Ali went through and what sacrifices he made ,Ail was oppressed and jailed for his skin colour ,banned from boxing for declining his oppressors demands and this fool feels fit to compare him to some nobody white woman idiot

Come again?

Holy Shit. Please delete your account. How ANYONE compares civil rights from decades ago to today needs to have their head examined.

OK now this is reaching at its most It's annoying now

what an absurd statement

Nobody knew this broad existed two weeks ago, now she's this generations Muhammad Ali... Sounds about right.

Not even close on many levels

😑

Rapinoe: 'I think women in football should be paid as much as men, Trump is very mean' White people: 'Congrats you are the 21st century Muhammad Ali'

You have got to be kidding me 👀

Matt_Jones_1986 sp3zzo true story

The following is a true sportswomen and a great ambassador ... the same can not be said for the above.

WTF 😂

Se liga nisso aqui, LuizFelipeL8! 😆😆😆😆🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Wow please dont disrespect ali like tht!!!!

i have not seen one tweet agreeing with your article

No...

Muhammad Ali was so mad at the history of slavery in the US that he took a slave trader as his Prophet and followed his teachings. Rapinoe is equally irrational, so yeah, they are a lot alike in that respect.

This is so disrespectful...

Muhammad Ali was at the very top of his sport, Rapinoe is at a level barely above special olympics

What utter nonsense. Ali was arrogant because he was one if not the best ever sportsmen that lived. This woman is arrogant due to the assorted chips on her shoulders

you lost your mind

Err no sheheitis not

Is she a racist too?

Why the independent is crap

This has got to be the most idiotic comparison of all time. This person is not worthy of such a comparison so just STOP.

Is this a little racist and identity appropriation?

Did Muhammad Ali get knocked out by a 15 year old?

She’s no such person. Stop making shit up. She’s a mediocre soccer player with an ego that needs constant fueling. She certainly wasn’t the reason the team won.

ThatUnitedLady

I remember when Rapinoe refused to go serve in the Iraq war and was convicted of draft evasion then sentenced to five years in prison.

Why are you trolling?

Don’t talk shit

Did Muhammad Ali get beat up by a 15 yr old boy?

*Stares in African American*

I mean, she hasn't risked jail time to stand up against an unjust war but go off I guess.

hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahaidiothahhahahahahahahhahahahahah

Jesus, what a world. Or are you joking?

I can’t even differentiate between satire and news anymore.. 🤡

Nope

You’re smokin some bad shit! Step away from the crackpipe

They are determined to white out what we clearly do and actually pay the price for. Never fails. WeHaveNoFriends

Muhammad and his stance against the war were insanely unpopular at the time This person has the same politics as all of Hollywood basically of all of social media and every single millennial . What a poor comparison . You should all feel bad . Dolts

Not even close.

“Politics to me is simple. The Tories are for the people who have got a few quid and Labour is for the people who haven’t. Now I’m in a position where I have a few quid.” notaclue

'You bettter wake up and apologise!'

You have some nerve delete this. What does a rich white woman know about oppression and the struggles that Muhammad Ali fought she is nothing like him. He fought against racism didn’t go to Vietnam was stripped off his titles only to win them back he’s a legend she is just there

When womens football attract the same number of eyeballs, the advertising, the sponsors, the ticket sales as the men's WC, her claims of patriarchal greed would be more than a figment of this obtuse sow's imagination. She is to Muhammad Ali what Joey7Barton is to Pele. bint

No. Not at all.

The title is case enough not to bother reading, reeks of tabloid journalism. You begrudgingly read it and as anticipated there’s a vague and clumsy connection at very best. PS did you miss the whole Collin Kaepernick episode?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

simonrug Muhammad Ali would never have mugged off a fan asking for an autograph

This ain’t it chief.

Nope.

😂😂😂

Behnasllyas tiens c'est cadeau

You misspelled Colin Kaepernick

Let’s not go crazy here.

Look, I love Pinoe too, but Ali went to JAIL for this shit, man

The article should contain two words: she isn’t

lol

oolololololololol

Oh pull yourself together- she couldn’t lace his boots

Ali refused to go to war to kill Vietnameses and faced big challenges for his human and historical position. Donated a lot for charitable causes... So...

No

wandellings

Uh, no. Haha

😂😂😂

Rap the nut in the daft welly

Is this a serious article? If so, fire the reporter. Tripe. She’s done more harm to the general public’s perception of the women’s game if anything.

Is this actually for real?

🤦🏻‍♂️

Hahahahahahaha

When she goes to jail for a cause, we can talk about it! Although for her, jail will be more like summer lesbian camp!

This is fucking ridiculous. So disrespectful.

Why ?

What the fuck!

No

nocontextfooty

She’s not though.

Great article. Thsnk you

I’d say colin kaepernick might be a better choice

Oof

Damn! delete yourself from this world please!

How about she gets equal pay with a 15 year old?

are you trying to set the world record for a news publication entirely losing its credibility in one tweet? if so, splendid job, carry on!

No, she is just a bad dancer

Stop

sidlowe Are you having a laugh!? Pathetic comparison.

Yeah no, not even close, not within the vicinity!

Ali was never a arrogant obnoxious individual.

She refused to be drafted for a war in Vietnam, and was prepared to go to prison for it MuhammadAli

Er, no.

As part black I’m offended by her comparison to the great Ali

😂

What in God's name ?

I just came here to poop.

Why do this to Ali? Why do this to Pinoe?

...a stretch. To say the least.

Haha haha, riiiiiiiiiiight...

I saw that nonsense

Didnt ask to see Megan Rapinoe

what an embarrassing take on this. She is trash.

Are y’all serious RT : Why Megan Rapinoe is 21st-century America’s Muhammad Ali

oh no you didn't

Ali never lost a boxing match to a u15 side 😂

If you click on the article, they win. Resist the urge.

Captain Picard face palm is all this tweet needs as a response.

Oi Miguel, your talking bollocks son

just when we thought you couldn't get any dumber

Yh and Caitlyn Jenner is the 21st-century America’s Mike Tyson

No Colin Kaepernick is. This is just a hype train. Kap ruined his career and gave up a shit load just because he believed in something bigger then him. She’s just a attention seeking ass, just like Zlatan

If Miguel Delaney isn't spouting lies about City he's writing this nonsense. How he's still in journalism is beyond me.

The disrespect to Muhammad Ali is astounding. Delete your account.

Hey MiguelDelaney, ! Come here both of you. Whose idea was this? You're both grounded. We're taking your iPad and giving you back your crayons.

I love Rapinoe, but..

No she’s not..................

“thinking it’s ridiculous to compare any such modern player to someone of Ali’s historic gravitas, it’s worth remembering what she actually represents.” How dare you compare the suffering and sacrifice Ali made to someone who speaks on an issue with no serious repercussions.

chloehenryx did you write this headline?

No. No. No.

Why being a reporter in the 21st century is 'same as' being an enthusiastic teenager in twitter?

Stop this nonsense, MiguelDelaney You're grounded. The should take away your iPad and give you back your crayons until you learn how to think before you write.

Take a piss

No thank you

Hahahahahhhhahahahahahah take a fucking day off

woah woah woahhhh hold awn a minute

Lmaooo this is wayy out of pocket!

...

Joke newspaper

You dropped these

Hahahahaha

MiguelDelaney I actually really like this, but the tweet headline isn't doing you any favours! Interesting politcally and totally agreed but always a really tough comparison against one of the most influential sportspeople of all time.

Cringe worthy. Really not sure how some people have jobs for these media companies all they spew out is click bait. In a week she'll be forgotten, Ali's legacy is forever

Don’t disrespect the great like that.. she’s not even close

Is that where it has gotten to?

nnnnnope

What an absolute insult to his memory and his accomplishments!

Unbelievable she’s a egotistical monster who only relevant every four years and hates the fact it’s only that disgusting attitude

Y'all must be smoking some dust

No she is not and never will be nobody can replace the Great Ali.

Write something stupid to get attention.

This is not going to end well

She would even reach the level of his ankles.

MiguelDelaney stay in your lane ho don't speak on Ali tyrna white wash our history

Why do people have to compare everything

No she hasn’t she is a complete self centred tit who couldn’t give a shit about anyone but herself. She doesn’t even think USA won the women’s World Cup she won it.

Who’s idea was this? 😤

Dreadful article

To compare her with one of the greatest sportsmen in history is actually an insult to Ali himself.

So that she can disgrace his name?

PabloGallacher1

Or...and hear me out... Why Megan Rapinoe is 21st-century America's Megan Rapinoe Huh...huh...? Sounds good, right? Doesn't diminish her accomplishments by comparing them to Ali and doesn't whitewash Ali's.

unfair to megan and disrespectful to ali's legacy...

Muhammad ali wud be a better looking woman than this trout

johanxcv Wtaf

What absolute garbage.

Megan is great in her own right, but Muhammad Ali isn't famous for solidarity or pay inequality. He spoke out against racial inequality & faced serious consequences. That title belongs to Kaepernick7. Don't be lazy. Compare mPinoe to the many great queer & female activists.

These people

She's not even a boxer I don't think

What....the fuck.

seanleitrimnyc

Hopefully she gets punched in the head as much as he did.

Sorry, not even close. What's the charge that will send her to jail? Being 'silly' is not a crime.

Oh my god - MiguelDelaney wrote this idiocy? Hasn’t he been laughed at enough lately? Some people really will do anything for attention and clicks 🤔

😂😂😂😂

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

But not Kap!?

These comparisons are always fraught with logic loopholes

Even an intern can write a better article

What a load of bollocks. How are you blagging this Delaney?

What is a Megan Rapinoe?

I hope the editor has the right to hold back the authors pay cheque for coming up with that load of utter bollocks.

SMH

You took time off arguing with City fans MiguelDelaney to write this utter horse shit? This must make Sterling Martin Luther King.

Ali refused to be drafted to army at The Vietnam War. He got his championship taken back from him. His boxing license got suspended in New York. He was one of the most influential figures in history. Not only for blacks but also for Muslims. What did Megan do? The disrespect.

why would u do this

We all disagree with that outrageous headline but here we all are engaging with this madness I can’t even help it Lmaoo

MiguelDelaney

OK I think this might be going a bit over board.

If u mean in terms of attitude.. yeah i can see it.. but thats where it stops.. Muhammad ali had to endure a lot worse things than simple tweets being homophobic

Still mentions City. Lad is obsessed

I respect her and what she stands for but let’s pump the brakes on this.

Muhammad Ali made more sacrifices than Megan ever will.

Delete This!

Mcxcuse me?

Delete this immediately.

Why must you always go a step too far?

Wtf are you talking about.

Nonsense

I find that so offensive. He's a world class sportsman. She's been around for 5 minutes & don't we know it. She's an embarrassment.

WHO IS THIS CUNT ahahahahahahahah

That's the biggest insult to Ali I've ever heard!!!

Gets clicks, dunnit.

Delete

Huh?

FML. Clickbait 101.

Lmaooo stupid

Quite simply no, one was the greatest sportsman of his era, the other plays school boy standard football

RichRedVoices Dont feed this woman's already huge ego

Ada Hegerberg deserves more recognition than Rapinoe

The viewership in the UK was around 65% men. Women need to start supporting other women playing sports.

Not sure about this one

Ali was jailed for and risked safety for his beliefs; Rapinoe is poking the dead embers of a culture war that is over in the US and W Euro. To really be compared to Ali she needs to go to Saudi Qatar UAE and any other gulf partner of FIFA where lgbtq rights are life/death

I’m sure bard4lfc will agree with this...

Lmaooooo

FPL_Fly

Hahaha Jesus fucking christ

I can see what you're trying to say but what a stupid, inflammatory, damaging, click-baity way of saying it.

mpw75 GetTaeFukk

Hmm quite a ratio here

She never will be

Y’all just can’t have something nice

How dare you compare the two? Shame on you

The very definition of click bait

She is not gonna Shag you mate.

Why miguel delaney is 21st century

This is an absolute garbage article, stop marrying racial issues with relationship choices its getting contrived and tiresome

Ali would have smashed her in a round mate.

announcedelaneysacking

Not so fast. kaepernick Kaepernick7

who is she?

Stretch of the year.

She’s anti Male. It’s great to see the women’s game get more publicity etc, but I’m not interested in the anti Male malarkey.

Megan Rapinoe is the first Megan Rapinoe. Maybe there will be a girl that is inspired by her to be the 2nd but The Independent should be more careful covering these kinds of pieces. She can be a pioneer herself but the comparison is disrespectful to what Ali is to Civil Rights.

laughable comparison.

Miguel Delaney strikes again

What a joke of an article. How dare you compare her to Muhammad Ali. She hasn’t achieved or sacrificed a fraction of what he did. She will never be comparable to The Greatest. Utter disgrace.

Who 🤔

Megan Rapinoe is 21st- century America’s Megan Rapinoe and we shall leave it at that.

nisaasoewand sepakat

😂😂

😂😂😂 Ali was the best heavyweight boxer in the history of Boxing ! She’s not even top player in her team she might have the mouth of Ali but that’s about it 🥴

All that matter is the ballot box, people are not gonna believe all this shit the media writes (if it's left or right.!it's all garbage getting spewed out every day

Muhammad Ali was the greatest athlete of the 20th century and he was a true activist who risked his career and his life for his beliefs, being rejected by a huge part of society. This girl is a terrible football player who simply repeats the most mainstream social message ever.

full stop.

Was not necessary to compare her to Muhammad Ali, which I doubt she would welcome, and she hasn’t been jailed yet for her religious beliefs-nor endured the amount of racism that he did. Why can’t she just be Megan Rapinoe: a brave athlete with her own individual path?

Why Miguel Delaney is a 21st-century crackhead..

She's wonderful, but Muhammad Ali went to jail for protesting a racist war. Also, Colin Kaepernick lost his job fighting racist police violence. So, all thing considered, Rapinoe is awesome, but hasn't risen to that level yet.

😕

An article purely for the clicks smh

This is the only Ali that fuck wit should be compared to

😂😂😂😂

migueldelaney TalbertSwan

Loooooool

His arms must be hurting from all that reaching.

They got pumped of a 15 year old boys team

sidlowe No, she isn't.

No

RIP mentions, MiguelDelaney.

The headline is just off. Don't bother with the usual didn't read the article BS.

For blind people

This is why no one takes the media seriously anymore lol

Ali fought a system of oppression. I don’t see the comparison.

fuck right off comparing Meghan to Muhammad Ali!! There hasn't been an athlete alive since Ali to be compared to Ali. You could say Jordan, Federer, Tendulkar, Messi, CR7 but they are just known for sports. Ali was bigger than sports. He was an icon

sidlowe JAJAJAJAJAJAJA

MiguelDelaney 21st century Muhammad Ali?! Get the f*ck out of here with your stupid nonsense!!! Only a white privileged entitled middle aged man would come up with something as daft as that.... Two different sports, two different eras and two different causes.. SMH!🤨 chaldish

Stepping into the replies like...

What the

Angry dudes replying to this, making the article's case stronger

Dominated by men because their so far and away better than the women...I’m willing to bet my house on San Marino being able to beat that USA squad...

sidlowe piersmorgan nervous twitching as we speak.

🤣

Close your twitter account

sidlowe Mmm. I like her a lot but that’s a really dumb analogy.

And I am modern day Shakespeare!

Who writes, edits, and greenlights this nonsense? Seriously?

sidlowe Seriously, she’s been relevant for about 2min 20sec. I say “she” with caution, because at first glance that chiselled look with cropped hair, makes “her” look a tad masculine. Anyway using your status as a footballer to promote your shagging Rights doesn’t quite wash with me.

Give. Me. Strength.

Literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

completely inaccurate story in what way is she on the level on Muhammad Ali shameful story writing

I won't even bother to read the article, the heading is already bullshit

Incorrect

sidlowe LMAO

Who ever wrote this article needs sacking. Comparing her to Muhammad Ali. Might as well compare me to Messi whilst you at it since you wanna write up crap.

Getting out of hand this shit

Oh no, not another article like this

No. Disrespectful on every level.

She isnt... next ?

sidlowe No. Stop already.

Woah- let’s not do this. Especially considering white women are very privileged in our society.

You couldn't wait until April 1st to publish this?

She’s awesome but...no. Just no.

Fucking Embarrassing

They let anyone be a journalist today don’t they

sidlowe Stop that,ridiculous

You should be fired. And whoever let this go out should be fired also.

Zayn025 Aqibmanutd441 MIKEYDBOSS wtaf

sidlowe This is ridiculous to the extreme

Mother of God 🙄

Ali was universally loved, not sure Rapinoe is.

They should have more rest days on the Tour. Some proper gegs today.

Good luck with your replies, MiguelDelaney 😜

Faaackkoofff

I hope Alis ghost haunts the person who wrote this.

Delete this

Smh ya tryna build her up so much

No, sorry. Thats like comparing Donald Trump with Gandi. Both into politics and Heads of State maybe but really there is no comparison what-so-ever.

That’s defiantly Delaney bull shit

MiguelDelaney You must have been smoking some good shit when you came up with this..

Don’t disrespect the great Muhammad Ali like that ever again

MiguelDelaney is that you? How stupid are you guys to have a headline like this. No offense to Megan who is a good personality giving voice to minorities. But this is unacceptable.

andy23newman The disrespect. PC gone mad.

LukeDon68468436

Wtf is this shit

Absolute garbage!

If she was Muslim she would find it difficult playing in a burka

Sorry, but no. Rapinoe isn't the new Muhammad Ali - she's the first Rapinoe. She's going to be an icon of her own making. Also, nobody will ever match-up to Ali, but that's beside the point.

Such a stupid tweet 🙄

Possibly the most ridiculous example of modern sensationalist journalism in, say 24 hours

Who write this has to be feminzai

😂😂😭

🙄

No this ain’t it

LMAAAAOOOOOOO YALL MUST BE SOME CRACK.

Simmy41 😂😂😂

Don’t be ridiculous !

No. No. No.

WTF

She speaks for no one but herself. The worst possible role model for women, gay or straight.

simonrug You must be joking. They got beat by a boys u15 team before the tournament.

Female Lingard

Sbam!

This is an article from a UK source. Let’s all realize that and ignore dis stupid shit

This. Is. Hilarious 😆

simonrug 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the headline alone is enough. She’s not, and never will be.

Ma porcoddio...

Stop

Thats a load of utter and obscene Horse Shit!!!!

Ya'll are getting out of hand with this shit.

The white ppl. The whites.

Yall are GROSS!

Got too much dip on your chip there, buddy

Oh please 🙄

Get a grip on reality, ffs!

She is Meghan Rapinoe and that's that! We appreciate her efforts to fighting for minorities in the US but she's not and should not be compared to Muhammad Ali

Absolute nonsense.

Fucking isn't.

Get. Fucked. 😂

FOH...

Unpopular opinion: If she didn't have purple hair no one could care about her

Alternate headline:Pink haired president-hating lesbian who wants to be paid more = Muhammad Ali.

archie7192 🤦‍♂️

Hahahaha

Clowns

I sincerely doubt she will be recognised the world over after the next month, let alone in 40 years time

Really Was Mohammed a Gay person?

In fits of laughter

Y’all had 1 JOB!

She cool and all but cmon now

😂😂😂😂 joke... clickbait right? If not you really need to consider whether serious journalism is a career choice !!!

Doesn’t even come close to Ali, he had a wicked sense of humour, razor sharp wit and was class personified. Long long way to go before she can be even be mentioned in the same breath as ‘The Greatest’.

Doesn't have Ali's humour or humility though

This shit going to far.

this is so disrespectful. Comparing her to Ali is so disgusting and ignorant.

Nah

Whoever wrote this should be arrested asap

This is so bait looool

I don’t hate her or anything but fuck outta here

I agree. The way she, like Ali, stuck it to the Draft Board who threatened to send her to fight in the hot, steamy jungles of Vietnam was heroic ! 😂

This article is so garbage for so many different reasons.

No she is not. She’s an arrogant egotist

I seriously had already forgotten about her

Excuse me?

Dear sweet baby Jason and the Argonauts.

Oh please, what a load of crap. Compairing her with Muhammad Ali.

Should this comparison have been made? Nope, is her cause relevant? Yes .

Ummmmmmmm nahhhhhhhhh

No she's not .

Kap didn't kneel for this.

Dumbest tweet of the week award go to the Indie

Hahahahahaha fuck off

Don't do drugs kids

Well done you got the attention you were looking for, Miguel Delaney must have some sort of disability.

Worst time ever to be alive in history

neniambulance

Don’t be ridiculous, she’s herself.

No disrespect, but this lady is not even close to being mentioned in the same breath as Muhammad Ali.

She aint gonna shag you mate

You lot are chattin mad aye

Simmer down yall simmer down

Very disrespectful

She plays in a 9 team league.

RyanCavna 😂😂😂😂

Evilfez257 lawrencehale18

When I see her

You should delete this post and this article. The level of disrespect this shows to arguably the greatest sportsman of all time and the sacrifices he made are absolutely staggering. I doubt she'd even approve of this comparison and by all accounts, she's completely shameless.

Muhammad Ali, Really? Now that's RACIST. Learn your history about Ali before you draw any level of comparison. This lady bless her heart is not on the same breath or stratosphere as the Greatest of all time. Lazy uneducated journalists

I really think needs to delete this tweet. What Ali went through his whole life and gained is not a comparison to a lesbian woman footballer. She's lesbian and plays football and won a cup she absolutely has nothing on Ali. Period.

What a load of bollocks

MiguelDelaney

ZachThorpe1889 absolute state of this

Hahahaha fuck offff

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Journos desperately trying to force the public to remember a sporting personality that we all want to forget

WomenAreCancelled

She really isn't

She’s been around for 2 minutes and she’s the new Muhammad Ali

We live in an upside down world where we make heroes out of garbage human beings.

Knockitoff

logging on Twitter:

The USWNT could field 70 teams out of its 350 million population to compete against every other country’s meager population. Only China and India could compete against this massive pool of potential. fifa FIFA20 should break the US teams up OR field an all star EU team

Of course no

Lol. Lmfao. You think that will stick? They were beaten by a juvenile boys team! They beat a team from a country that has maybe 5 million people. The USWNT Team comes from a 350 million population! fifa It’s a joke!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂really? U guys are too much ......u need an Ali to combat ur acid throwing knife wielding criminals right ?

YIKES

You have to have some mental disability to think she is even close to Ali. He is the most influential sportsman of all time. Just cause she cried about her wage doesn't make her close to the G.O.A.T.

She's no Ali!

Seriously? Give your heads a wobble

Who is this guy ? Ugly

Ali took endless amounts of hate for his religion and color. In his prime, world champion and in the middle of the greatest sporting career ever, took a ban from boxing to protest the Vietnam War. Even struggling with Parkinson he didn't stop. Megan wants to be paid more...

Segregation in the US ended 55 years ago yesterday. Just stop it.

She's just a privileged whinger.

Yeah but Muhammad Ali was a Muslim and Islam is not fond of her homosexuality

My guess is that you’re trying to create controversy with that comparison! Disgusting!

That's disrespectful to Ali to put her on the same level as Ali!

Me reading this nonsense

She is a hypocritical liar and a pawn of the liberal left.

Terrible insult to the greatest boxer ever

I think the Indy is reducing itself to publishing BS in order to generate traffic from those curious to see whether the laughable headline is merited by the actual article. Its a joke site really.

C’mon! She’s a white woman living in 2019 America. That’s a world away from being a black man in 1960’s America...

She's a hero. A stunning, brave and beautiful hero

No, she really isn't. There is an OTT reaction to everything these days.

I'm just here for the ridicule this narrative deserves.

No she’s just an unpleasant narcissist.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no wayyy

slow the fuck down. no one is the next Muhammad Ali.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Seriously

She is Rock. 👏💐👮‍♂️🙂🤘🇩🇰👍

For all these women's rights and equality why isn't she compared to female heroine?

Come on !!!now that's tooooo much!

Hope for the Americans

What another ball chasing freak . With a foul mouth . Wake up America your morals are being. Undermined by perverts your children are being taught to look to these twisted soles . The outcome will break your hart

🤢🤮

Not really! She is her own version as doesn’t need to be compared to any man or any other athlete—RESPECT!

Do not insult the greatest sportsmen to have ever lived with this half wit.

Hahah

Trigger bait

🤢

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no oh and uh no.

Is this a joke? Whomever wrote this article should be canned... this is a disgrace!!!!

😂 😂 😂 Sharrap. Freaking tweets make you a hero(ine) nowadays?

Ali sacrificed the prime of his career and millions of dollars to stand by what he believed. She took to Twitter.

I was waiting for someone to write this shit down. 😂😂😂

FFS

The analogy to Muhammad Ali is a stretch.

She's not even close.

max2aneeb Aigoooo 😂😂😂

She is just an over hyped amateur, torn faced jumped up woman.... nothing more

She's really not

Lmao...👌🏿

You must be f’n kidding !!!

yuvraj_jain_28 this is getting out of hand...😂😂😂😂

Who could possibly be stupid enough to write this?

Insulting and disrespectful.

The leftist media does this on purpose to enrage population and so the clowns like Rapetoe can have an excuse to feel offended and demand for more money just because they are lesbians.

She kicked a fucking ball. She is a white lesbian soccer player. She is likely getting free drinks and meals wherever she goes. She is turning down sponsorship right now because she has too many to go through. Now...tell me again how she is America's new Muammad Ali?

Be Fucking have !!!

Good fucking grief

No she’s not.

More muscles than him

She is arrogant..

Ali rolling over in his grave. An absolute disgrace to compare the two.

how dare you, utterly ridiculous. Ali was a genius, and an amazing human being, she’s not fit to lick the shit of his shoes.

No

Horseshit comparison. Ali was a real hero!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was gold

When you’re white and privileged and do too little and being called 21st century America’s Muhammad Ali. Total disrespect smh

Come on! Ali sacrificed his career for 8 years as a protest. She tweeted.

Oh dear

Stop over praising unworthy folks

borzou What MR has shown the world is that women are still judged way more severely than men when acting cocky (like many men in sports do all the time). But, in sports, Serena Williams is the boss.

You must be fucking joking!

Ali went to jail for his cause. Even Kaepernick sacrificed his career. You knew people would balk at this comparison, Stop using Ali’s fight to minimise Rapinoe’s politics and behaviour. Not all minority causes can be compared or lump together, this article is offensive.

What a insightful decision not to go the WH a week before Trump tells ethnic minority members of congress to ’go home’.

Come oooon!!

No she’s not. Don’t be ridiculous.

The Man was total CLASS, The Greatest, what a shit article !!!

She kicked a fecking ball into a net and her TEAM won a game! She is no fecking Ali!

Umm..... no she definitely isn’t! Please don’t disrespect the memory of Ali!

Oh please stop right there 🤣🤣🤣

That’s enough twitter for today.

All because her team put 13 goals past Thailand? 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 You Americans are weird.

Mainstream media is a joke, she doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as Muhammed Ali.

jenrobertson2o2 Um...no she's not. That's dumb.

Ma vaff...

No. Nope. Never.

She’s not. Stop pushing the soccer. Zzz

What a load of cack, comparing her to a legend is an insult to Ali.... Ban woman’s footy

Laughable, truly laughable. What an idiotic statement.

😻

He refused to go to war and went to jail for his believes. She refused to take part at some celebrations - totally the same

How insulting

Perspective. She is the captain of a national women’s football side that can’t beat a club under 15 boys team playing at half pace

Hahahahahahaha, really? Back to journalism school for you and I'd take history as well.

Seriously? 🤣🤣

No. Because Colin Kaepernick?.......Anyone?

No comparison, 😂😂😂

Please bite your tongue, whenever i think Independent can't get any more absurd, you manage somehow to surprise me. Kudos i guess (?!)

Oh please.

You're out of your mind.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 behave! That is massively disrespectful to Ali

😂😂😂

Delete this. Oh Jesus/Allah/Buda have mercy on these “journalists” 😂

This must be the funniest joke of 2019.

What a stupid comparison.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

borzou Oh please! Two weeks ago most of the world didn’t know she exists and much of it still doesn’t. Ali was a global legend and she has not earned the comparison yet.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

As if she needs her ego inflating anymore

I can't stand this level of disrespect anymore. Gone toooooo far now. Let the man rest in peace, one of the greatest and most influential athletes to have ever lived and hes getting compared to this clown?!?!

This is an insult.

She can never be compared to Mohammed Ali.

Ahahahahahahaha omg fuck you idiot

Oh come on, she hasn't got the same wit
