“Something That I Quit a Long Time Ago”- USWNT Star Megan Rapinoe Calls Social Media a ‘Horror Show’

Social media platforms have paved the way for numerous reforms in recent years. It has been observed time and again that these platforms can operate toward the betterment of society. But there is a dark side to it, like most things, and it has been a menace to many. However, Megan Rapinoe has found just the solution to tackle this problem.

The most frustrating part of social media platforms is their comment section. Although some comments are inspiring, and people can draw from these to motivate themselves, most are targeted toward infuriating and demoralizing others.

However, there are ways to block negativity from pouring into one’s life. And Rapinoe might have just the perfect remedy for the problem.

Reflecting on it, she said, “That’s a horror show.”

In the past, Rapinoe has been vocal about various issues and has stood by them over the years. It includes being an avid supporter of transgender athletes and their rights to compete in sporting events.

She also actively supports other social and political causes. Naturally, it has attracted the attention of an array of different people and groups. These people leave their thoughts on the issue through comments on social media posts. But not all of them have just positive things to say.
