Whenever something like this resurfaces and it is seen for the first time, the very first thing uttered out of my mouth is, “What The Fuck Were They Thinking?” I’m not in the business of making enemies, (unless it’s about Alexi L*las, fuck that guy) but I am about at least trying to hold people accountable. Calling them out on their bullshit if you will.
It's been an incredible morning at the Museum. We're so happy to have been part of the pre-Ticker Tape parade and we're so proud of our world champion @USWNT.

To keep some context, this was a photo taken by the Holocaust Museum in what I read was breakfast before the USWNT World Cup Parade(?). That’s all fine and dandy. I also would like to note I am 99.9 percent certain Ashlyn is not doing the n*zi salute. Clearly, she’s doing the Megan Rapinoe pose. But hindsight is always 20/20.
I have been to the Holocaust Museum. It’s quite possibly the most humbling place on earth. It’s one thing to watch a documentary about the Holocaust, which is incredibly hard in itself. But I’ll tell you if you’ve never been to the museum, personally, my heart sunk hella deep when I saw the shoes exhibit, I don’t know why. Back to the matter at hand, even on maybe the happiest day of your life, visiting the Holocaust Museum will send you to a place where sport and celebration are very far down the list of things that are important.

I’m not one to rain on someone’s parade (unless your Alexi L*las, fuck that guy), but you absolutely have to behave respectfully anywhere near the Holocaust Museum. There is no excuse to give a Rapinoe celebration here, optics or not. If she posed like Allie or Pinoe, then there is ZERO PROBLEM. But you have to be able to read a room in this situation.
