Viral Video of Megan Rapinoe Sparks Backlash
Resurfaced Clip Draws Attention
American soccer star Megan Rapinoe is under fire after a video from the 2019 ESPY Awards resurfaced. The clip, now viewed over 2.7 million times, shows Rapinoe dismissing a young fan who approached her for an autograph.
The Moment That Sparked Outrage
During the awards event in Los Angeles, a young boy nervously offered Rapinoe a football to sign. Although she signed it, she never looked at him or spoke a word. Instead, she turned to another guest, ignoring the child completely. In the background, one man appeared visibly stunned—he held his head in his hands.
Social Media Reaction
The tweet sharing the video came with a harsh caption:
“Imagine being such an arrogant narcissist that you don’t even look at a young fan and acknowledge them when signing a ball. This is Megan Rapinoe in a nutshell…”
It quickly ignited debate across social platforms.

Criticism from Public Figures
British TV personality Piers Morgan retweeted the clip, calling it “diabolical arrogance.”
Tennis player Nick Kyrgios, who previously feuded with Morgan, surprisingly agreed:
“Hahahahaha one thing me and Piers agree on.”
Disappointed Fans Weigh In
Many fans expressed frustration. One wrote,
“That’s just so sad. That child really admired her. She’s a classic narcissist. I feel bad for the kid.”
Another added, “I’m surprised she didn’t charge him for her signature.”
Others believed a simple smile or kind word could have made the boy’s day.
Ongoing Controversies
This isn’t Rapinoe’s only recent controversy. During a Women’s World Cup match, cameras caught her laughing after missing a crucial penalty. Fans criticized her reaction. Rapinoe later said she laughed from shock, as she rarely misses.
Earlier this month, former TV host Megyn Kelly also took aim at Rapinoe. She accused her of “poisoning” the U.S. women’s national team by not singing the national anthem and being a negative influence.
A Divisive Public Figure
Rapinoe’s actions and outspoken views continue to divide fans. This latest video only adds fuel to the ongoing debate about her behavior—and its impact on her legacy.
