Sue Bird

WNBA star Sue Bird recently took a swipe at soccer saying it is “generally” made up of “cute little white girls.”

Ratings for last weekend’s woke ESPY Awards crashed to the lowest numbers the show has ever recorded. The ESPYs only earned 482,000 viewers over both ESPN and ESPN2 combined, making it the smallest audience the show has ever reached dating back to its inaugural awards in 1993. The previous low occurred in 2011 when 1.98 million viewers tuned in, according to Sports Media Watch.

ESPN has outspoken Trump critic and soccer star Megan Rapinoe, as the host of its 2020 ESPYs award. This, despite the network’s recent efforts to limit the influence of politics in its sports coverage.

Megan Rapinoe’s girlfriend, WNBA player Sue Bird, stuck up for the U.S. Women’s soccer star in her feud with President Donald Trump.

WNBA star Sue Bird has taken exception to what she has described as President Trump’s “hate-filled Twitter spree” against her girlfriend and U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) co-captain Megan Rapinoe.
