It reveals that her fight has nothing to do with equality or justice, but is all about being the center of attention.
Perhaps Rapinoe could "libsplain" it to her

It's almost like something happened that turned off millions and millions of fans.

I'm just really dubious that there are that many eager Chinese fans - I kinda wonder what is going to happen when reduced ticket sales and viewship hits the NBA players in contract renegotiations."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

FWIU sales in NBA-related merchandise is pretty strong in China indicating a legitimate fan base, so they may better weather the storm than others like MLB and the NFL

It really is a joy when an athlete (can't remember her name) in (can't remember the sport) joyously effervesses over the thrill she had in representing the United States of America (I remember the country) and how very pleased she is to live here!
