In a sobering announcement that has gripped the nation, iconic actress and talk show co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, alongside soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe, declared their intentions to leave America. The overwhelming sentiment behind this unprecedented decision? A profound sense of feeling disrespected and unappreciated.<\/p>\n
While many significant decisions stem from hushed boardroom meetings or formal gatherings, this one found its origins in the most unexpected of locales: a brunch at LA\u2019s renowned \u2018Eggs-travagance\u2019 bistro. As both celebrities sat down, little did the onlookers know that the meeting would spiral into a national conversation on respect, scrutiny, and the emotional toll it takes.<\/p>\n
Goldberg, with her illustrious career spanning over decades, has had her fair share of controversies, often stemming from her unabashed opinions on \u2018The View.\u2019 Rapinoe, on the other hand, recently became the target of extensive public critique following a missed penalty kick, an error that fans found hard to forgive.<\/p>\n
This article followed a previous story published by SpaceXMania.com on Aug. 31. That headline read, \u201c\u2018I don\u2019t get any respect\u2019: Megan Rapinoe To Leave America After Heavy Criticism.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, these two articles were not a factual recounting of real-life events. The stories originated with a website that describes its output as being satirical in nature, both on its \u201cAbout Us\u201d page and as a label above articles.<\/p>\n
The rumor specifically about Rapinoe also appeared in a new article on The Dunning-Kruger Times satire website on Sept. 6. The Dunning-Kruger Times is part of the America\u2019s Last Line of Defense network. The headline of the story read, \u201cMegan Rapinoe Says She\u2019s Leaving America: \u2018I Get No Respect.\u2019\u201d The \u201cget no respect\u201d quotes from both websites were made up.<\/p>\n
In Facebook comments on Sept. 6, the people behind SpaceXMania.com and Dunning-Kruger Times acknowledged each other\u2019s satirical stories, the latter continuing in satirical form calling the former a \u201cpatriot.\u201d<\/p>\n
A search of Facebook for the Goldberg and Rapinoe \u201cleaving America\u201d headlines published by these two websites yielded a seemingly countless number of comments from users who appeared to believe that the pair were, in fact, leaving the U.S., even though it was only satire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
