There is no bigger power couple in the sports world right now than three-time WNBA champion Sue Bird and two-time World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe.
Not only do they star in sports -- Bird is the longtime point guard for the Seattle Storm and a four-time Olympic gold medalist, and Rapinoe is a mainstay of the U.S. women's national team and the NWSL's OL Reign -- but they also are cultural icons for their willingness to raise their voices on issues of social justice. Bird was instrumental in the groundbreaking WNBA collective bargaining agreement that was approved earlier this year, and Rapinoe has fought for equal pay for the USWNT and in 2016 was the first white athlete to join Colin Kaepernick's protest by taking a knee during the national anthem.
