Rapinoe reacts to the news of the ill treatment of a Lyon player

Megan Rapinoe , a former Olympique de Lyon player now with the Lyon Reign (NWSL), is a powerful voice in the world of football and a staunch defender of women’s and minority rights. For this reason, the American international reaction to any issue related to the fight for gender equality always has an impact. And this case will not be an exception.

The winner of a Ballon d’Or and many times the world champion was not slow to speak after this Wednesday the international press came out with the complaint of the Icelandic international Sara Gunnarsdottir about the non-payment due to the pregnancy during the his time at Olympique de Lyon. The current Juventus player assures that he was not treated correctly by the sports director (Ponsot) or the president (Aulas) at the time.

“It’s an absolute shame of Lyon. The culture in Lyon in France is still far. Everyone loves to talk about how much they support women, but this math is not math. I’m begging you to be a club that ALWAYS supports women, not the club that used to be,” Rapinoe, a former Lyon player who is now a member of the franchise she owns in the NWSL, wrote on Twitter.
