After criticizing Trump, posters of Megan Rapinoe get defaced with homophobic graffiti<\/b><\/p>\n

New York police have opened a possible hate crime investigation after eight posters depicting out-lesbian soccer star Megan Rapinoe<\/a> were defaced with homophobic graffiti.<\/p>\n

Commuters reported the graffiti to police after discovering it in Manhattan\u2019s Bryant Park subway station. Nike posters showing Rapinoe on the field had been defaced with phrases like \u201cshemale<\/a>\u201d and \u201cscrew this ho.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Transit Authority responded immediately and notified police.\u201dHate has no place in the transit system and we work hard to make the subway a welcoming, safe environment for everyone,\u201d said MTA communications director Shams Tarek in a statement. \u201cWe referred this to NYPD which responded to investigate, our maintenance teams got the posters cleaned and we will have them replaced with new ones if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The posters have since been cleaned of the vandalism.<\/p>\n

Rapinoe rose to megastardom after leading her team to victory in the Women\u2019s World Cup<\/a>. She also gained a new level of celebrity after repeatedly criticizing Donald Trump and his administration\u2019s anti-queer policies.<\/p>\n
