American soccer icon Megan Rapinoe had her jersey retired by her former National Women’s Soccer League club Seattle Reign FC ahead of its match against the North Carolina Courage on Sunday. The two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist received her No. 15 jersey in a frame and a nice ovation from the 16,598 fans on hand at Lumen Field, the team’s second-largest attendance ever for a regular season game.
It means more to me than I can ever even imagine being able to find the words to say. … I was a part of the first 11 years of the club as a player. I’ll be a part of the next 111 as a fan alongside you guys.” A banner with Rapinoe’s face was lifted atop Lumen Field with “You Changed the Game #15” written on it while fans lifted cards that spelled out “R15E” in pink and black.
