Megan Rapinoe branded ‘Andrew Tate of LGBTQ feminism’ by Jason Whitlock in bizarre rant

In a bizarre rant, sports columnist Jason Whitlock has hit out at US national football team star and gay icon Megan Rapinoe, labelling her the “Andrew Tate of LGBTQ feminism”. 

Whitlock, a writer, podcaster and former American Football player, is no stranger to controversy, having made several contentious comments during his career – including reportedly saying, during an interview with right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson: “A lot of what the left supports is satanic.”

In the latest episode of his podcast, Whitlock took aim at Rapinoe and the US women’s team, saying he “despises” them and hopes they lose their next match in the Women’s World Cup, which is against Sweden on Sunday (6 August).

“In the history of sports, no team has needed a comeuppance more than our women’s soccer team,’ Whitlock wrote in a tweet promoting a podcast episode.
