Mission accomplished emphatically.
Firing jumped against the Irish defender during a 53-yard gain in the first quarter between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Notre Dame in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff Rose Bowl on Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The reason for Repino’s request? Harris said at the Rose Bowl press conference on Tuesday that he looks to the US soccer star.
Harris is known for celebrating after an extended touchdown with his hand, just like celebrating Rap Pino’s goal in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.
Here’s what Harris had to say about Ris Pino when he was speaking to reporters this week:
“Megan is going crazy,” Harris said. “She’s from California, first of all, and she listens to Nipsi. Nipsi Hussle, one of my favorite rappers, too. He yelled at her.
“It’s really all the stuff she stands for. She’s a feminist and how women are, how women around the world are treated unfairly and how they get different and different stuff than men.
“She stands for it all too. I like what she likes. And obviously when it comes to social injustice, she plays a part in it all. And she has to be a woman and she says all those things, and it’s scary. She may say, to be a woman, it’s a man’s world, and she’s just playing a part, standing, listening to all the nayayers, and really standing for what she believes. It’s inspiring, and it’s inspiring.
“As a man, I think you can say, like maybe a lot of men don’t say they look at a woman these days. But I really pay attention to it, just to do it outside of sports. And I think she had to shout and give stuff. “
Alabama advanced to the national championship game, beating Notre Dame 31-14.
