The sensational Trinity Rodman rose through the ranks of USWNT to become one of their key players. She is one of the best in the world and is the daughter of NBA champion Dennis Rodman. Charismatic in nature, Trinity once appeared in a simple answer-your-favorite-option quiz with ESPN.
In one of those rounds, the host asked a question stating her liking for USWNT soccer stars Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd. The answer to the question was not straightforward.
The forward likened the former 2x Olympic gold medal winner Carli Lloyd. The soccer player laughed at her decision as Rodman chose Lloyd as her favorite. The forward also earns more than Megan Rapinoe, as she is highly rated. Hence, Rodman is the new star on the block.

In the fun questions, the host asked many questions regarding various options. Hence, she answered the name of Carli Lloyd while giving the option to choose Rapinoe. Lloyd is one of the best soccer players in the world.
Apart from the two Olympic gold medals, she won the World Cup twice and grabbed the FIFA Player of the Year award two times. Therefore, Lloyd is a legend of the game and has the second most caps for the USWNT with 316. To sum up, she is one of the greatest soccer players of her generation.
While speaking about Rapinoe, the sensational winger had a remarkable career. But, in terms of contracts, Rodman earned more than her in recent times. As players get older, their wages naturally decrease as they are off their peak. For Rodman, she is at the peak of her powers as she earns a bumper contract.
In February 2022, Rodman signed a four-year contract with NWSL side Washington Spirit. After becoming the youngest player ever drafted in the NWSL, Rodman’s career skyrocketed to greater heights.
