The NWSL final between Reign FC and Gotham was meant to be Rapinoe’s crowning moment as he bowed out of the beautiful game, but she sustained an injury early in the game, and her team lost 2-1. She then went on to state that her misfortune is evidence that God does not exist.

A third said, “They claim GOD doesn't exist but they can't keep him outta their mouths. They keep talking about him. Why talk about somebody that doesn't exist?" And a fourth, “Ur opinion, daughter of Jezebel, God is God forever.”
