Megan Rapinoe\u2019s career in soccer is over. She was, however, looking forward to a lucrative new endeavor as a broadcaster with the World Soccer Network, a subsidiary of Futbol Internationale.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with the embarrassing loss during the World Cup, the network has decided her brand\u2019s legacy isn\u2019t quite what they thought they were paying for.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to hire the Megan Rapino of five years ago, before all the controversy,\u201d said WSN Vice President of Programming Joe Barron, \u201cbut we would have settled for a champion. Now we have the memory of the kick she missed on a wide-open goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rapinoe\u2019s spokesman has gone dark since the botched strike from \u201cthe best to ever play the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

ALLOD Correspondent Skip Tetheludah caught up with the player herself on her flight home from Sweden, where the incident occurred. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of silly,\u201d she chuckled,\u201d that people think a penalty kick is a sure thing and that a net with a goalie standing in it is somehow empty. I\u2019m not really concerned with what a bunch of pseudo-patriotic chuds think. They actively root against the team playing under their flag because they don\u2019t like its leader\u2019s politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

She makes a decent point, patriots. Would we root for another country in a war just because we don\u2019t like our current leader?<\/p>\n

Wait. Don\u2019t answer that. God Bless America.<\/p>\n
