Former USWNT player Megan Rapinoe is known to be a legend on the football pitch, after impressive years on the pitch, leading her to winning two FIFA Women's World Cup trophies, and being a former Women's Ballon d'Or winner.

The USWNT legend is also known to be very vocal on the issues in the women's game and has been a figure that led to the growth of women's soccer.

Rapinoe continues to make noise as he reacts to a controversial moment involving the USA Men's Hockey Team, which won gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The USA Men's Hockey Team has been praised for their achievement at the Winter Olympics, but has also caused controversy due to a moment involving them and United States President Donald Trump.

During the celebration, Donald Trump called the USA Men's Hockey Team to congratulate them, but made a joke about the USA Women's Hockey Team, which also won gold.

Players in the USA Men's Hockey Team laughed at Trump's comment 'having' to invite the USA Women's Hockey Team or else, "I do believe I probably would be impeached."

Rapinoe reacted to the USA Men's Hockey Team laughing at the joke, which led to many USA Men's Hockey Team players regretting the moment.

Megan Rapinoe on the USA Olympic Men's Hockey Team

On the A Touch More podcast with Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe, Megan Rapinoe reacted to the controversial moment between Donald Trump and the USA Men's Hockey Team.

Rapinoe did not appreciate the reaction from the USA Men's hockey team laughing at Trump commenting that he would 'have' to invite the women's team as well in order to avoid being impeached.

The former USWNT player calls the players who laughed at the joke 'clowns' and defends the USA Women's Hockey Team's accomplishment.

Rapinoe said, "[They] ruined it for themselves, because they allowed themselves to be totally co-opted by a clown. And now you're a clown. You look like a clown... The joke isn't even funny... Why don't you respect you more than to have that moment be taken by someone who, for no reason at all, just takes a huge swing and jab at women who did the exact same thing that you did."
