"We want these perfect stories and I’m a controversial figure, and having people low-key celebrate it — but then also be so disingenuous about it, that that part is kinda funny too. I’m like, wow you guys are in a special place in hell that you’re celebrating this," she said. ( as quoted by outkick.com)

Moreover, Rapinoe openly tried to mock Christians by whispering into the mic.

"I’m not a religious person or anything and if there was a God, like, this is proof that there isn’t. Somebody needs to check on the Christians, they're not okay," she said (as quoted by outkick.com)

This comment enraged a lot of fans on social media. Reacting to those comments, Riley Gaines expressed her disappointment on X (formerly Twitter).

"The entitlement is crazyyy.There's only one judge, jury, & executioner in one and it isn't Megan Rapinoe," she tweeted.
