Rapinoe was recently named the “2019 sportsperson of the year” by Sports Illustrated.
During the SI Sportsperson of the Year awards Monday, Rapinoe told Reuters “I think the most important thing is to get that maniac out of the White House.”

In May, Rapinoe told Yahoo sports her continued national anthem protests, that were inspired at least in part by Colin Kaepernick, a “good F you” to the Trump administration.
“I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart. I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.” Rapinoe added “I feel like I’m a walking protest… I feel like it’s kind of defiance in and of itself to just be who I am and wear the jersey, and represent it.
