Megan Rapinoe Suffered an Injury
She broke down in tears during her farewell news appearance. As she was ready to play Gotham FC in the NWSL Final, she was observed crying and expressing her feelings about the game for the last time. Despite her physical prowess, Rapinoe will be remembered for more than just her soccer career.
The American athlete was criticized for taking a knee during the national anthem in 2016 after he had been an early supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. After coming out as a lesbian in 2012, Rapinoe was attacked by anti-LGBT activists.
Years later, a video leaked showing her signing a ball at the 2019 ESPY Awards without noticing the little fan standing before her, drawing criticism. During the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the athlete responded to her critiques by calling herself “especially and distinctively and very truly American.”
The soccer star conceded that she was ‘not flawless’ but indicated that the country was not either.
