Megan Rapinoe has been branded 'shameful' by Piers Morgan for her involvement in a letter to NCAA urging them not to ban trans athletes competing in women's sports. Rapinoe, wife Sue Bird and an array of other stars such as WNBA players Brianna Turner and Layshia Clarendon joint-signed the letter, which says the biggest issues in women's sports are 'unequal pay, rampant sexual abuse and harassment of women and girl athletes, and a lack of equal resources for men's and women's teams.'

Megan Rapinoe will be courtside for two of Caitlin Clark's opening WNBA games, with the retired USWNT legend claiming she is 'a real fangirl' of the former Iowa superstar.

Rapinoe, who retired last year after 203 appearances for the USWNT, was at the Final Four earlier this month, when Clark's hopes of winning a national championship were dashed by South Carolina.

Storm owners, Force 10 Hoops, said that the 43-year-old, 13-time All-Star joined the ownership group despite no financial details about the transaction being provided.

For Manchester United fans, it was the biggest of let-offs. For everybody else, it was yet more evidence VAR is sucking the joy out of football. Coventry City denied one of the greatest moments in FA Cup history - and one of the most miraculous comebacks of all-time - by mere inches. In the days before technology, Victor Torp's winner in the dying seconds of extra time would have been heralded as yet more magic from the world's greatest cup competition. It could well have also sealed Erik ten Hag's fate as United boss. But the ruthless accuracy of VAR and its offside lines stopped wild Coventry celebrations in their tracks and ultimately allowed United passage to the final.

Megan Rapinoe is making moves as television producer, with her production company developing a television series of the soccer romance novel 'Cleat Cute'.

Still, some are unpleased with Clark's rookie-year contract with the Indiana Fever of around $76,000, and Reese's $73,000 deal with the Chicago Sky.
