Woke Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe Adds to Subway’s Failure in 2021, Over 1,000 Stores Close Amid Backlash

Subway has struggled in the year since it hired soccer star and left-wing activist Megan Rapinoe as a national spokeswoman, with hundreds of stores closing across the nation.

The fast-food chain — whose best-known spokesman, Jared Fogle, went to jail for child pornography possession in 2015 — hired Rapinoe as a pitchwoman early last year.

One commercial featured the purple-haired anthem protester knocking food out of a man’s hand with a soccer ball.

Hiring Rapinoe didn’t help the company’s fortunes, however: In 2021, 1,043 Subway locations closed, the New York Post reported Thursday.

The chain already had been losing stores in the two years before she became the chain’s pitchwoman.

At the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Subway lost 1,609 stores. In 2019, it lost 999, the Post reported.

  1. Just ANOTHER purple-haired person trying to tell the rest of us how “normal” they are…..

    However, the great majority of Americans DON’T think it’s normal.

    THEN, they try to use their fame (which had nothing to do with food) to convince us to buy something.

    That would be TWO fails….

  2. She’s a women’s sports version of Rachel Maddow. Annoying, in your face with flawed facts, twisted reasoning and plenty of hot air.

  3. I stopped going there because it sucked, not becuz of Jared or purple hair.

    Purple hair….really?
