From Paris - The tweet heard around the World Cup. Football magazine Eight by Eight posted a video on Tuesday – a short clip, nothing fancy – from the time they'd spent with Megan Rapinoe ahead of the World Cup.
"I'm not going to the fucking White House."
Rapinoe, known affectionately as Pinoe by fans, teammates and a good portion of people who cover the game, is no stranger to political statements – although it's not clear whether this was actually meant to be one, or just a comment made in passing. Doesn't matter. It blew right up.
