This game and this life are too serious to not just totally mess around sometimes.”

But Denise also got them involved in community service as well, as noted bySports Illustrated.
They volunteered at their church, at homeless shelters, and at food banks.
“My teams didn’t start winning until I was midway through high school.”
Did that keep her from succeeding in the sport?
Obviously not, which is why she wants people to not take youth soccer so seriously.
She recommends that parents not venture to map out their kid’s path to the pros.
That’s what Rapinoe’s parents did.
“Our mom and dad were never pushy,” Rapinoe wrote in anotherPlayers Tribunearticle.
It’s hard to argue with that approach.
The results speak for themselves.
Why Megan Rapinoe came out when she did
Megan Rapinoe never really hid her sexuality.
Her reasoning for coming out publicly?
“I feel everyone is really craving [for] people to come out,” she said.
Rapinoe’s parents were concerned about the backlash, but she said the announcement had the opposite effect.
It was during their sophomore year at Portland that they would discover they had something else in common.
The two sisters had a heart-to-heart conversation and came out to each other.
“That was really it.
I had been dating someone and one of us said it first.
It was a ripple effect.
We both kind of came to the realization that we’re in this together.”
Walsh spoke just as highly of Rapinoe in an interview withThe New York Timesin 2013.
People are drawn to her.”

The backlash was immediate.
Registration for her training clinic dipped, as did apparel sales on her website.
Her U.S. teammate Carli Lloyd called it a “distraction” (viaSports Illustrated).
“It wasn’t easy for me,” Rapinoe said.
“But it shouldn’t be.
“It would take a lot,” she said.

She also revealed that she had been dating Megan Rapinoe since the fall of 2016.
“It was kinda like, ‘OK, we both live in Seattle, we should be friends.
Why aren’t we friends?'”
Rapinoe told theSeattle Times.
A relationship developed after that, in part due to their similar backgrounds.
She’s just so level-headed.”
One thing they don’t have in common is their demeanor.
Except in this case it was scrub the game was in hand.
It’s just nobody wanted to say it.
Well, except one person.

And just like Rapinoe colorfully predicted, the U.S. did exactly that, winning the match5-2.
It’s short and usually bleached blond.
But Rapinoe can’t take all the credit for the look.

She shared, “Her dad was drafted during the Vietnam War.
Her grandfather, who lives with us, he’s 94,World War IIvet.
My father, Korean War, suffered many injuries.

“I just said, ‘Couldn’t there have been another vehicle?'”
Clearly nothing could stop Rapinoe from wholeheartedly supporting the causes she cares about.
