Megan Rapinoe has misrepresented from the start. The men’s soccer team receive no health insurance from the national team. The women’s team was offered the same pay as the men with no health insurance but turned it down. The women instead accepted less pay with generous health insurance instead of the men’s deal. Them Megan whined about equal pay until they got both generous health insurance not received by the men plus same pay as the men. So much for equality. Also, a team of 14 year old boys beat the women’s team prior to 2019 In a friendly. The women are just not at the same level as the men. This showing the ridiculousness of having trans men compete against women.

I think everyone has missed an obvious point. Soccer, probably more than any other sport is a team sport. I've played on multiple teams in multiple sports over the years, but those that won and were the most fun were those where we were a Team. As the world of women's soccer has become more competitive, Team becomes more important. The USA Women' Soccer Team has ceased to be a team, it is a collection of very talented individuals apparently with their own agendas.
