She has been at the heart of everything this team has done, both on and off the pitch, for years but that won't help the disappointment of today's defeat just yet.
Still, Rapinoe is sure to leave an indelible legacy, both on her nation and the sport.
In addition to her many on-field achievements, Rapinoe is well-known for her work on social issues, ranging from LGBTQ+ rights to racial inequality to gender and pay equity. In 2022, Rapinoe became the first soccer player to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Agreed. Very few athletes who stay in their sport into their late 30s are able to go out on top. That doesn’t take away from everything they accomplished when they were younger.

She is not going out on top. She is riding the bench and missing penalty kicks which would have won the game.

"The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation’s highest civilian honor, presented to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors."

Which exemplary contribution did she make to the prosperity, values or security of the US? And how did she contribute to world peace?
