Olympic medalists Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, who retired in 2022 and 2023 respectively, are continuing their advocacy for women’s sports, equality, and inclusion through their relaunched podcast “A Touch More with Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe.” The podcast features guests like soccer star Alex Morgan, Mia Hamm, and Dawn Staley to delve into these important topics. Both athletes hope these conversations will lead to increased investment in women’s sports to match the abilities of the players.

As they settle into retirement, Bird and Rapinoe are using their platforms to advocate for equal pay for female athletes and encourage future generations of athletes to have opportunities beyond the playing field. They believe that their media opportunities can pave the way for others to extend their careers and make a difference in the sports world.

The pair also emphasizes the importance of balancing advocacy and the sport itself, with Bird encouraging younger athletes to prioritize their training while also building their platform. They believe that their conversations on the podcast add to the ecosystem of sports coverage and provide a nuanced perspective on the issues facing athletes both on and off the field. Through their continued advocacy work, Bird and Rapinoe hope to inspire positive change and support future athletes in being their full selves both in and out of sports.
