Megan Rapinoe
Together with her team, the United States Women’s National Soccer team, Megan Rapinoe leads the fight against social injustices and inequality in sports. Known for her help in securing the second FIFA World Championship Cup in 2015 and 2019, Rapinoe continues to make noise and use her presence to demand what’s right. In 2019, 28 players, including Rapinoe, filed a lawsuit against their respective employers following allegations of institutionalized gender discrimination. At the core of their demand is equal pay between both sexes. Apart from financial concerns, the athlete is also seeking the same training, playing, and travel conditions as her male counterparts. As she was named FIFA Player of the Year in 2019, Rapinoe used her platform to speak about racism in sports. She also speaks openly about being gay and the struggles of the LGBTQ community in the sports world. Image source: Tennis.com
