Megan Rapinoe Won't Visit White House if USWNT Wins 2019 World Cup

U.S. women's national team star Megan Rapinoe told Sports Illustrated's Jenny Vrentas that she will not visit the White House if the team defends their World Cup title this summer in France.

Since his election, Rapinoe has been a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and many policies enacted by his administration.

From Jenny Vrentas's story:

Rapinoe has already decided how she would respond to an invitation to visit the White House if the U.S. successfully defends its World Cup title: “Absolutely not.” She would be open to going to Washington and meeting with members of government, but not President Trump.
