U.S Women's National Team co-captain Megan Rapinoe has landed a book deal with Penguin Press, the publisher announced.
When it comes to issues such as equal pay and politics, Rapinoe has also been vocal in fighting for what she believes. The athlete, who once called herself a"walking protest," openly denounced President Donald Trump and said she would refuse to attend a White House celebration if invited. Trump tweeted in response that Rapinoe should “never disrespect our country, the White House or our flag.
"I just feel it’s so much more than soccer at this point," Rapinoe told NBC News in an earlier interview."We’ve mobilized the soccer fans and the sort of casual fan now, people are watching it because they think that we’re changing the world. And they’re inspired by us on the field to do what we’re doing off the field in their own lives."
