United States Women 🚺 National Team captain Megan Rapinoe, an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights, has dropped another controversial statement on Friday after the game against France. She revealed that her performance meant even more having come in June.
“Go gays!" Rapinoe exclaimed while flashing a peace sign. "You can’t win a championship without gays on your team, it’s pretty much never been done before ever. Science, right there," she said with a laugh.
Rapinoe insisted that her feud with US🇺🇸 president Donald Trump didn't give her extra motivation, but fighting for those who are on her side did.
“I’m motivated by people like me and people who are fighting for the same things," she said. "I take more energy from that than trying to prove everyone wrong all the time. That’s sort of draining to me.
"So yeah, to be gay and fabulous during pride month at the World Cup is nice.”
Rapinoe's manager Jill Ellis was full of admiration for her team's star and unlike Rapinoe, Ellis believes that the forward was indeed extra motivated by the controversy surrounding her spat with Trump.
"She's a very experienced, eloquent person," Ellis said of Rapinoe. "I would just point to the performance tonight and say if anything this stuff just ... pushes her forward."
Throughout the entire controversy, Rapinoe has continued to have the backing of her teammates. After a performance like Friday’s, it’s easy to see why.
“Megan is an absolute baller,” defender Kelley O’Hara said. “She does all she needs to do, she gets the job done and she rises to the occasion every time.”
Megan Anna Rapinoe is an American professional soccer midfielder/winger who plays for and captains Reign FC in the National Women's Soccer League.
