?quality=90&strip=all&w=618&h=410&crop=1More than a half-dozen posters of US Womens 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 Rapinoes 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 Sundays Womens 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.

She and her team are still triumphant, and you're still just a big-baby, toxic-male incel loser...

of his cheap shots and insults. His cult is no more stable that he is.
