Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe announce they’re splitting up in shocker
By Jenna Lemoncelli

[NYPost] Olympic gold medalists Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe have called it quits after a decade together, announcing their separation in a joint Instagram post on Friday.
A common endpoint for relationships in America.
“There really is no smooth or easy way to share this news,” their statement read. “After a lot of thought, we’ve made the decision to separate as a couple.
I suppose someone must care…
“This hasn’t been an easy decision, but its one we’ve made together with so much love, respect, and care for each other. We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us.”

1 TW in-line: "I suppose someone must care." Perfect. I sure as hell don't. My first thought was "WHO??" But that's just me.

So a pair of middle age F-F partners have announced they are on the open market again and auditioning new partners.

BTW: Isn't Mega the one that took a knee to the US National Anthem a few times?

8 So does this make women's soccer more or less appealing? I cannot overcome my apathy to even think about it, so we probably need a ruling from the judges.

Might want to check Subaru's stock price though.

11 Remember Megan's ads for Taco Bell where she kicked food out of men's hands with a soccer ball? Lasted about a week. Like Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney. Hope someone was fired for that one too.

14 Who?

Famous for taking her jersey off.

IIRC, and am a cynic, I think her PR agent convinced the world team that she needed to make her last world stage appearance in order to bolster interest in women's soccer, she proceeded to shit talk the USA, and proceeded to play so poorly, being mediocre to begin with and then aged out, Team USA Women were essentially down a player every game, and unlike a Subaru the team couldn't carry her.
