A week of partying in celebration of Team USA’s World Cup victory hasn’t changed Megan Rapinoe, who remains defiant if more diplomatic in her outspoken advocacy on social and political issues, quoting Serena Williams in saying that she wouldn’t give it up until “the day I’m in my grave.”
Rapinoe, the team’s star and vocal leader, didn’t back down from her criticism of President Trump, whose anger she had stoked by saying she would not celebrate the championship with a visit the White House. Is there anything the president could do to change her mind about visiting?
“There’s, like, 50 policy issues that we can probably reverse and get going," she told moderator Chuck Todd.
