live baby we're live yeah but um didn't post 203 US Women's National Team caps two World Cups 2015 2019 where she got the Golden Ball being the best player and the Golden Boot the most gold um in 2019 one Olympic gold medal one Olympic bronze medal uh NW nwsl Shield winner in 2014 1522 she won the balandor in uh 2019 alongside Messi uh she has the presidential medal of freedom and this is just a fun fact for Josh here uh she was drafted by Emma Hayes for the Chicago uh red stars in the WPS uh they're now part of the NW C but they were originally the WPS and as I said you have that rise there one and five um and we're gonna show just this is what the crowd looked like showing their love for Megan Rino look at that pretty crazy pretty crazy pretty and then we also got one last uh s from Megan and the most famous s you guys know it we all love it yeah yep it's less is more that's what her sell is less is more what's even crazier so during the game Seattle beat North Carolina 1-0 with a goal by am Mar adame who she was a hugee fan of Megan rapino growing up and just look at this cutie look at that cutie um she did the Megan rapino s when uh she scored the goal so let's watch that gold because we like watching Golds here um on rev Sports it's the beautiful game for a reason it is the beautiful game B High headed and off the [Applause] ball EMZ finds a way using every bit of the post the goal keeper doesn't matter the 18yearold story we showed up and she did the S she did the S um what speak well I know I can speak for days about Megan rapino but I'm going to let you go first Josh and Megan rapino her Legacy and her number getting retired I mean yeah she's she's one of the greatest ones um people have difference of opinion on her for other off the field stuff and you can have those opinions or talk about on the field um on this situation and she's as you see in those pictures and stuff she's influenced and grown the game um Second To None her she was part of that AB wach um Alex obviously Alex Morgan um and all the all that you know Carly Lloyd all them that that kind of group um that really kept growing the game after the 99ers um kind of started that trajectory and then they kind of took it over as the next stars and then now we've got you know triny Rodman in the in the other uh and who's the who's the goalkeeper um n n I'm saying nestler that I think that was a hot I thought you were about to go uh off to Sophia Smith which is a tishk girl no because we have a rivalry that I think triny Robin's better than her so therefore no kidding they're both great uh but um but no um but yeah I me you just like she's she's part of that I mean she when she yes it sucks that she missed that PK in the World Cup um and you know that can be and that's the only thing I say is like there could have been other people to take it and know and all that other stuff that's again that's on the field strategic stuff even though she missed it I would have chosen her to take a PK even after that Miss because until that PK it was like 10 times out of 10 she would make the PK right and now now you can be like okay it's now nine times out of 10 it was like one of her rare rare misses when it comes to PKS cuz that it's like Mega rapino thing yeah yeah that and she kills it with with crosses her crosses her cross to Abby wck yeah so uh I what was what was the what were allegedly what was we alleging here psha I don't know tell me tell me what I we're alleging a lot of things probably about Trinity Rodman oh no no he he put that before I said that and that's not allegedly that's facts that Trinity Rodman is the is the best right now um so just all right deal with it okay uh it it's taking a long while for me to get past the fact that Alex Morgan isn't on the team anymore so at least triny Robin is making me feel better okay for not having not having the Goddess that known as Alex Morgan on the field anymore to me mega rapino that's she stands for so much more than the game and I know like there's people that don't like her for that part I do if we're putting um but that doesn't take away that she was a good soccer player like one of the best and there's a reason why she won the balandor there's a reason why she H was the best player of the tournament at the 2019 World Cup and also got the Golden Boot there like there's reasons why she has the accolades that she does and that's because she's a good player yeah um so if you were to take all of the social justice stuff aside you can't deny what she did you can't deny what she did on the field and then you add that on top and it just really just shows the type of person that she is and we talked about Maya Mo earlier that she did something that was so much bigger than her too soon too soon I know Megan Rino we talk about Maya Mo before Colin Kaepernick was doing uh was being a um an athlete speaking about social justice and now you and then you had Megan rapino after Colin Kaepernick being one of the only people that would kneel with him kind of even though different sports but she was kneeling as well and so just standing up for things that are bigger than yourself and you see that a lot in the WNBA you see that in the nwsl and so one of the things that the women's sports have really been championing and it's because women's sports are inherently political just by existing right so Title Nine Title Nine
