Megan Rapinoe opens up about Capitol attacks, opting out of NWSL competition in 2020

Megan Rapinoe isn’t one to mince words.

In fact, even without a traditional media presence last year due to sitting out of club and national team competitions, Rapinoe still made her voice heard through social media. And, no, Rapinoe wasn’t just sitting on her couch or mindlessly scrolling through Twitter. The OL Reign and U.S. women’s national team forward was at work, and she was busy.

Rapinoe penned a book, which was released late in 2020. She also accompanied her fiancée, Seattle Storm star Sue Bird, in the WNBA Bubble. Rapinoe kept advertising the NWSL and WNBA for putting on successful tournaments and competition in 2020.
