  1. Rapinoe…Ugh..!!!

  2. Doubt it. I’m glad Rapino is out of the game.

  3. their podcast is always on point

  4. Megan Rapinoe believes in the cult (belief) of transideology. There are no transkids. Just two sexes. Girls and boys.

  5. I must say: I thoroughly enjoyed this insightful and productive interview

  6. All the haters in this comment section obviously didn't watch the WNBA from its very fragile beginnings or live through the years when the USWNT didn't even come close to sniffing a World Cup. If you don't know–if you weren't paying attention–then OF COURSE you don't think these women left a legacy or "moved the needle." Women's sports–sports in general–wouldn't be where it is without these "2 old retired players" and the other players who started the greatness right along with them. Educate yourself before you come in here with your idiocy and disrespect.

  7. Lol and everybody else says otherwise.

  8. Both Sue and Megan are disgusting. Retired know it alls. Give it up! Don’t care about what they think!!

  9. Hey megan, when you wake up in my basement, youll know its real……

  10. 70 likes in 24 hours… yeah Megan everyone is really catching on!!! 😂. These women are devils. Not encouraging the next generation of women to be great mothers is encouraging the downfall of America, if you don’t have kids you don’t have anything…

  11. Sorry, but it’s starting to feel like Sue and Megan are trying to capitalize on the growth of women’s sports by claiming it was because of them.

    I appreciate their advocacy, but let’s be real. NIL, social media (exposure) and fresh talent has moved the needle for women’s sports.

  12. LOAD OF BS , THE WNBA WAS IN THE TOILET FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS , IF THEIR LEGACIES GROW THE GAME , ITS VERY SLOW TO GROW , CLARK LIFTED THE WNBA OUT OF THE TOILET , EVERYONE KNOWS IT , EVEN THE DOG ON THE STREET , SHES THE MOST POPULAR FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYER ON THE PLANET 🌎, NOT TO MENTION HER SKILL , 62 RECORDS BROKE IN HER FIRST ROOKIE SEASON , NO ONE ELSE HAS DONE IT , SHES ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER, JUST THANK HER, SHE DESERVES THE CREDIT ,NO ONE ELSE

  13. Sue Bird = 🗑️… But much respect to Rapinoe 👏

  14. WHY was Kristen Welker too afraid to ask successful female athletes if they would share a lockerroom or their sports with Biological MEN?

  15. Role models for sure😁

  16. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS

  17. anti-America grotesque beyond ugly

  18. These two women are multi time world champion gold medalists.
    And some of y’all are pathetic little haters 😂

  19. Not really. The players in the game currently are growing the game. 2 old retired players don't grow the game. No one's legacy ever grew any game.

  20. We are doing exactly what George Washington advised us not to do. " A nation that indulges in a habituel fondness toward another is in some degree a slave." Now we see the results. We're following a genocidal nation down a rathole toward the desolution of our pristine reputation as a righteous and desired nation of purity and freedom. We can stop the descent, but the damage has been done. We deserve what we get. We can't get back what we've lost.

  21. Trump Works McDonald's Fry Station, WATCH Donald Trump cooks French fries,
    serves customers
