Fans around the United States were left shocked when news broke out that former USWNT icon Megan Rapinoe had filed for bankruptcy. One avid fan took the story exceptionally seriously, swiftly sharing it on social media, where it rapidly went viral.

According to an archived Facebook post, “Any tears for this?… Megan Rapinoe is going into bankruptcy after the disastrous end of her career. Nobody will hire me, the disgraced former star cried.”

However, it seems like there is no truth behind the statement. Media outlet Reuters decided to debunk the story surrounding Megan Rapinoe, claiming that a satirical website posted the news. In its introduction, the website made it clear that anything they publish is pure fiction.

The news regarding Rapinoe’s bankruptcy is sketchy, considering the number of endorsements the player has done over the years. The USWNT icon has a deal with sportswear brand Nike, alongside the likes of Samsung, Victoria’s Secret, Hulu, and Body armor.
