It’s a sad day for soccer fans around the world as Megan Rapinoe of OL Reign announced her retirement at the end of the season. Rapinoe, who has been playing professional soccer since 2009, has been a force to be reckoned with on the field. She has been an integral part of the US Women’s National Team, helping them to two World Cup titles and four Olympic gold medals.
Rapinoe has also been a leader off the field, using her platform to advocate for social justice and equality. She was one of the first athletes to take a knee during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial injustice. She has also been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights and gender equality.
Rapinoe’s retirement will leave a huge void in the game of soccer. Her skill, leadership, and passion have been an inspiration to many, and she will be sorely missed. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of her fans and in the minds of those she has inspired.
We wish Megan Rapinoe all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for all she has done for the game of soccer. Her impact will be felt for years to come.
