Megan Rapinoe reflects on playing for Team USA during Pride Month: 'Our team was super gay in 2019'

FIFA President Gianni Infantino joins Colin Cowherd to discuss the World Cup vs. Super Bowl debate and comparison.

Team USA women's soccer great Megan Rapinoe is standing by what she said in 2019. 

"You cannot win championships without the gays," she said to her wife, Sue Bird during their "A Touch More" podcast.

Rapinoe said something to the same effect during Team USA's Women's World Cup title run in 2019 after a quarterfinal victory over France, the host country of that year's tournament.

"Go gays!" Rapinoe said at the time, per The Guardian. "You can't win a championship without gays on your team – it's never been done before, ever. That's science, right there!

"I'm motivated by people who like me, who are fighting for the same things. I take more energy from that than from trying to prove anything wrong. That's draining on yourself. But for me, to be gay and fabulous, during Pride month at the World Cup, is nice."

It's Pride Month now, which brought about the question from Bird to Rapinoe about what it means to play during it. 

"Our team was super gay in 2019," Rapinoe responded. "A lot of us were out, a lot of our fans were gay, a lot of the other players were gay. First and easiest thing to ensure you have is gay players on our team."
