The resounding Olympic “meh” star Megan Rapinoe (Megan Rapinoe) spent a lot of time making it clear that she was very anti-American, and after failing to bring home the gold medal in the sport that she should pay attention to, she watched It doesn’t look like her possible hero thought she would.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, she is a complete villain. This includes the Subway franchise owner, who has requested that Rapinoe be removed as Subway’s spokeswoman after the customer has made it clear that they will not eat at this restaurant if the company supports her message.
According to reports New York Post, Rapinoe’s continued anti-American sentiment made Americans angry. Subway franchise owners have been paying the price for this, leading them to write to the company to force them to abandon the Zifa Bronze Award winner so that customers can come back.
Some of the pressure came from the North American Subway Franchise Association. A store operator in Wisconsin posted a handwritten note on his window, encouraging others to boycott his store because Rapinoe was kneeling in the national anthem.

The Wisconsin boss also said that an advertisement was needed to show that Rapinoe kicked a football at a man and made him drop a burrito. Subway has since made the video private on YouTube.
“Apologizing will be tiring,” the shopkeeper wrote.
According to the Washington Post, other franchise owners have been weighing:
An angry West Coast franchisee told the Washington Post that he believed the company’s advertising Should focus on improved breadThe franchisee, who asked not to be named, also said that Subway’s advertising masters focus on the husband-and-wife owners of chain stores, so Subway appears to be less corporate.
“It is completely out of fashion to spend our money on making political statements,” an Arizona ally said of the company’s parent company on the NAASF blog.
Another franchisee in the Midwest said that Subway should have seen this before signing with Rapinoe. In July 2019, she was accused of trampling on the American flag. A few weeks ago, she said that if she was invited to visit President Trump, she would not go to the “fucking White House,” which made headlines.
A lawyer representing Subway pointed out that he has been receiving phone calls from franchise owners and assured them that their request has reached the desk of the CEO of Subway:
“A lot of franchisees called me today,” said the lawyer, who asked not to be named. “They are trying to remove the ad.”
Who would have thought that anti-Americanism would be bad for American business?
Rapinoe’s popularity seems to have been relegated to Twitter mob, journalist, and LGBT activist, but she doesn’t seem to find much favor anywhere else. Subway’s choice to make her a spokesperson was an unprecedented miscalculation, but it not only hurt the company. Subway is made up of franchise owners, and it is them who suffer. If the company has any sense of dignity, they will give up Rapinoe, but at this time the company is afraid of blue checks and activists coming to them.
At some point, these companies will have to choose whether they are afraid of a small group of very noisy people or a large group of ordinary people who do not want to have anything to do with what social justice extremists provide. Especially people like Rapino who gave many people a reason not to like this place, Especially women.
