The host asked if Megan Rapinoe had heard about the soccer player getting fired for farting. She had not only heard, but also had asked around to confirm if the news was correct. While talking in the clip she provided her views on how she felt about the player getting fired for farting.
Megan Rapinoe said, “That’s far out, losing a cheque because you are farting and laughing around that’s just like, I did reach out to a homie in Lyon, they said it was true. You know sometimes the French, they can be a little uptight maybe, just 1 or 2 farts and then I don’t know what happened. I just saw that today and I’m just like.. you won’t catch me losing a cheque over farts… obviously, there is something more going on. We are gonna need to get down to the bottom of that. It could be a digestion issue or allergy.“
