Megan Rapinoe has been a key player both on and off the soccer pitch since she joined the U.S. Women’s National Team. A groundbreaking athlete and social advocate, she has dedicated her career and platform to advancing LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, and pay equity. Rapinoe champions LGBTQ+ organizations like Athlete Ally and GLSEN, helping to create more inclusive sports environments for male, female, and nonbinary players. Furthermore, Rapinoe played a crucial role in the U.S. Women’s National Team’s historic fight for equal pay. In the landmark agreement, the U.S. Soccer Federation agreed to give the women’s team the same pay and prize money as the men’s team.
