DENVER — Megan Rapinoe would have liked to talk about soccer on Friday. But when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade a few hours before the U.S. women’s soccer team went off to practice, that became impossible.
So, as Rapinoe has done so many times in her 16-year national team career, she sat in front of a microphone to share her views on something away from the field.
“How sad a day this is for me personally, for my teammates, for just all of the people out there who this is going to affect,” Rapinoe said, opening a 10-minute soliloquy on a Zoom call with media from across the nation.
