Megan Rapinoe was always unabashedly authentic during her soccer career, whether she was advocating for equal pay and racial justice or scoring an elusive goal off a corner kick.
On Sunday, Rapinoe will play her final game in a U.S. jersey when the United States faces South Africa at Chicago’s Soldier Field. She’ll have a few more regular-season games for the Reign, including a send-off match for local fans in Seattle on Oct. 6.
“I’ve spent pretty much my entire career competing against her ever since college, whether it’s for Canada or here in Portland. I have so much respect for her. We’re definitely two different types of people, but what she’s done for the game, I think she’s helped inspire an entire generation of young soccer fans,” Sinclair said.
With the Reign, Rapinoe is one of just five players who have spent their entire career in the NWSL playing for just one club. Among prominent athletes to publicly come out, Rapinoe has been outspoken about LGBTQ issues, including transgender rights.
