What is Rapinoe?
Pulling a Rapinoe is when a critical shot in a sports game or an important moment in life, is completely shanked thereby completely letting down the entire team and/or your family/ country. Usually done after you have been offering up hot takes nobody asked you for about things you have no idea about or any business poking your nose into. Pulling a Rapinoe is typically extremely devastating to the person performing it while equally and extremely satisfying to those watching it happen.
