Megan Rapinoe gained global attention during the US Women’s National Team’s championship run at the World Cup for more than just her play on the field, and she appeared to reference that following Sunday’s win over The Netherlands.
After the USA’s 2-0 victory, Rapinoe took to Instagram and shared a quote from late rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was shot and killed in Los Angeles back in March. One of the lines is “now my name all in the news, trippin’ on all of my moves.”
Rapinoe has publicly feuded with Donald Trump after she said last month that she would not go to the “f—ing White House” if the US won the World Cup again. Trump responded by bashing her on Twitter and saying she should respect the country and be proud of the American flag.
Rapinoe was openly supportive of Colin Kaepernick a few years back when he began protesting during the national anthem. She has continued to advocate for civil rights and been outspoken on political issues. The captain also just won the Golden Boot with six goals and three assists in the World Cup.
