Megan Rapinoe Criticizes Time on U.S. Women’s National Team

Former Star Player Calls it 'Worst Job in the World' in New Netflix Documentary

  • Megan Rapinoe, former U.S. Women’s soccer star, has criticized her time playing for the U.S. Women’s National Team, calling it the 'worst job in the world' in a new Netflix documentary series, 'Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup Team.'
  • Rapinoe's comments have drawn criticism from some who argue that she benefited greatly from her time on the team, with Forbes reporting her net worth to be over $7 million, largely due to endorsement deals.
  • Rapinoe, known for her outspokenness on political and social issues, has previously taken a knee during the national anthem in protest, a move that has been both praised and criticized.
  • In her last game, Rapinoe suffered an Achilles tendon injury, which she controversially claimed was 'proof that there isn’t' a God.
  • Despite the controversy surrounding her comments, Rapinoe's career has been highly successful, with her having won gold, silver, and bronze medals at the Olympics, and being instrumental in the fight for equal pay for the U.S. Women’s National Team.
