"Gays Rule": Megan Rapinoe reveals the "science" behind the success of the team

Megan Rapinoe said the US victory at the Women's World Cup was a science affair.

Rapinoe, who scored six goals in the tournament and won both Golden Ball (best player) and Golden Boot (more goals), had cracked last month that no team can win without players homosexuals.

"You can not win a championship without the gays of your team," she said. "It has never been done before, ever. It's science, right there.

The official Twitter account of the team responded to this quote Sunday after the win by a "I told you. "

Rapinoe shared the tweet and added:

In addition to being one of the best players in the sport, Rapinoe has also become a viral sensation both for her pizazz on the field and not to flee politics off the field.

When asked in June whether she would go to the White House if the team was to be invited by President Donald Trump, she mocked, "I'm not going to the fuckin ' White House. "

Rapinoe was retained by Trump supporters, including some who called the statement unpatriotic.

"If we want to talk about the ideals we stand for, all the songs, the anthem and what we have been based on, I think I am extremely American," she said.
