“Megan Rapinoe Does What She Wants” – Sue Bird Admitted She Was ‘Against’ Fiancé’s Pink Hair Before World Cup Win in 2019

USWNT star Megan Rapinoe is among the most influential soccer personalities in the country. She had been the pillar of the Women’s team for over a decade. Not only sports, Megan Rapinoe had been a vocal influencer and a style icon. Taking her influence, Rapinoe has already won two FIFA Women’s World Cups and Olympic gold medals.

The USWNT megastar is currently dating the WNBA legend Sue Bird. The couple is arguably one of the most influential sports couples in the nation. She has also talked a lot about how she supports her now fiance. Bird had also vocally supported Rapinoe during her public feud with then-president Donald Trump.

The couple started dating in August 2016 and after years they got engaged in October 2020. Although they have supported each other in everything, Sue Bird once disclosed the decision she didn’t support Megan Rapinoe for.

Megan Rapinoe and her iconic blue color

The tale is from 2019. USWNT was preparing for the World Cup. Having already won the world in 2015, they would go on to repeat and pave the way for the chances of elusive three-peat chance in 2023. Megan Rapinoe changed her style and shocked the fans. This was the origin story of her iconic pink color. Although most fans didn’t mind them. Bird, on the other end, had a totally different take.

Talking about Rapinoe’s hair, Sue Bird, in an article for the Tribune, wrote, “I’m actually just going to say this out loud, and put it all the way out there. I was….. AGAINST it. Phew!! That felt really good to say. I was against it. I thought it was too impulsive, and I voted no.”

She continued, “Yeah, my feeling was — you’re going to the World Cup!! To do great things!! And hopefully, if all goes well, you’re going to be memorialized in all of these pictures that will be around for….. EVER! Pink? Megan, are you sure? Don’t you think you might regret this?” Bird couldn’t have been more clear about her stand on the iconic hair of the eventual 2019 World Cup winner.

The return from injury and increased responsibilities

Before the friendlies against New Zealand, the OL Reign coach announced that Rapinoe was ready to be back in action. Although they only gave a little time to her, it was clear that she seems ready for the USWNT. After Mallory Swanson got injured against Ireland, the responsibilities of Megan Rapinoe increased.

She is among the leading names to replace the injured superstar. Who do you think might refill the role of Mallory Swanson? Drop your views in the comments below.
