NBC News adds: “Rapinoe, 35, who once called herself ‘a walking protest,' has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ and women's rights — helping spearhead a campaign to get pay equity for the U.S. women's national soccer team. She and Bird, 40, have used their platforms to promote various like-minded causes, from supporting Black-owned businesses to encouraging people to vote.”
