Megan Rapinoe is without argument the most influential soccer personality in the US. She has raised her voice for almost every social issue. She had been a major staple of the fight for equality, whether it was for soccer or the LGBTQ+ Community. Megan Rapinoe had once voiced her concerns over the massive under-investment in English women’s soccer in 2020. She has also led the voice in the historical USWNT battle against the US Soccer Federation. Unbeknownst to the fact that it might be a matter of economics rather than gender politics.

Megan Rapinoe had been an integral part of USWNT’s last two World Cup title wins and an Olympic gold medal. She had played 197 matches for the nation. She is known for her outspoken personality and willingness to fight for her beliefs.

Megan Rapinoe thrashed English soccer

The USWNT star had grown unimpressed with the laughable funding for the Women’s soccer clubs in England. She talked about how they have overcome the same issue here. However, the fight in England has been going on for a long time. Billions of dollars are being invested in the expansion of the NWSL in the USA. The investment is showing results as well. The NWSL is continuing to grow in numbers and attracting more and more viewers each season.

She was talking about the glaring lack of funds for women’s soccer clubs in Europe. She said, “I think women’s football in England is the same as in America – it is so far behind because of what we’ve had to overcome in the lack of investment… It’s 2020. How long has the Premier League been around? And we’re only just seeing a club like Manchester United put effort and pounds towards a women’s team? Frankly, it’s disgraceful… I’ve had a few teammates go abroad and play, while I’m training and trying to keep fit in the hopes that eventually we’ll be out of this hellscape.”
