Megan Rapinoe

The sports stars announced the news with a sweet Instagram post.

The soccer star was chosen along with Charlize Theron, Ava Duvernay, Yara Shahid, and Margaret Atwood, among others. 

The World Cup champion delivered a rousing speech while accepting the award for FIFA's Female Player of the Year. 

Rapinoe spoke about how she and her parents continue to have an open dialogue despite her thinking her dad voted for Trump, who went off on her in a Twitter tirade. 

Rapinoe and teammate Christen Press said they are not backing away from their fight for equal pay and they'll see the U.S. Soccer Federation in court. 

The soccer champ also said that she's not 100 percent opposed to visiting Donald Trump's White House but that it would take more than he's willing to do.

Anderson Cooper asked the out soccer star to offer her message to the president on national television.

After the USWNT's World Cup win, Twitter users were calling the Golden Boot winner Megan Rapinoe their president.  

Expletive-laced shouts filled a live broadcast from a bar in France. 

The USWNT champion posed with teammates Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger (who are engaged to each other) and tweeted, 'Gays Rule!' 

Bird wrote a piece detailing what it's like dealing with Trump rage-tweeting at the woman she loves in a piece called "So the President F*cking Hates My Girlfriend." 

"For me, to be gay and fabulous during Pride month at the World Cup is nice," the soccer star also told reporters.

The soccer champion said she wouldn't visit the White House of an administration that doesn't share the core values of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. 

Trump angrily tweeted at the out soccer champion, insinuating she's unpatriotic for not wanting to visit the White House.
