Hatemonger vandalizes Megan Rapinoe posters in subway station

?quality=90&strip=all&w=618&h=410&crop=1

More than a half-dozen posters of US Women’s Soccer sensation Megan Rapinoe were defaced inside the Bryant Park subway station in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime, authorities said.

The bigoted vandal scribbled marker over Rapinoe’s face and forehead Monday morning on more than six posters displayed throughout the mezzanine level of the station near Sixth Avenue and West 42nd Street, cops said Tuesday.

The hateful messages included “shemale” and “screw this ho,” police sources said.

Rapinoe, a team co-captain who scored a penalty kick during Sunday’s Women’s World Cup final against the Netherlands, is an outspoken gender equality and LGBTQ activist.

The team will be honored by the city Wednesday during a ticker-tape parade in lower Manhattan.

An MTA spokesperson said the agency is working with the NYPD to investigate the graffiti, which was subsequently cleaned up.
