Megan Rapinoe is fearless, talented, empathetic and successful. She is many of the things I want my children to be. Heck, she's everything I still aspire to be.
It is precisely because she is all of those things that she has been a target of vitriol from a certain crowd of people for years — you know, the ones who go on every platform they can to scream about being silenced — because she is an avatar for nearly everything they profess to abhor.
She is a gay, white woman who believes in equal pay for equal work, fights for the rights of those that don't look like her and has no qualms about saying so.
