Megan Rapinoe Warns NWSL Team After Trinity Rodman’s Viral Confession: “Get That Checkbook”

Trinity Rodman is making headlines for obvious reasons. It’s almost as if the USWNT superstar is determined to keep surprising her fans. First, she teased a potential love connection with Ben Shelton, then brought back her long pink braids. Now, she has everyone speculating about her Washington Spirit future after openly expressing her desire to play overseas. However, national icon Megan Rapinoe wants to keep Rodman “exactly where she is.”

“I’ve always thought about playing overseas at some point in my career. I would kick myself if I retired and hadn’t done that. So it’s just a matter of when I think. But yeah, just focus on this year, and we’ll see what happens when the time is right,” said the 22-year-old in her viral confession. Clearly, Trin will not fear moving to Europe, be it this year or in the latter stages of her career.

Honestly, one may argue that any player would like to try something different and take the next step. Yet, for Rapinoe, she wants the forward to stay put in the NWSL. “If I’m the Washington Spirit I am considering myself on high alert,” admitted Pinoe, while discussing her exit rumors on the latest episodes of the A Touch More podcast.

“When you put it like that, Spirit ownership, I feel should be, not on notice a little bit, but just knowing and watching that space. Because I would be doing everything I possibly could to be having Trinity under long and lucrative contracts for a very long time. She’s your best player. She’s your most marketable player.

“Also for the NWSL to be thinking about that we’ve lost a couple of our best players overseas by no means all of them. I don’t think there’s any exodus happening but yeah if I was Michelle Kang, I would do what I always do; get that checkbook out and just keep her exactly where she is.”
