There are a lot of ways to describe Megan Rapinoe.
She’s a decorated athlete, an Olympic gold medalist and a FIFA World Cup Champion. She’s an advocate for LGBTQ+ organizations, a supporter of transgender athletes in women’s sports and a far-left political activist.
But “the all-American hero”? That’s pushing it.
Rapinoe announced her retirement earlier this month. And ahead of her final appearance in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Nike posted an animated tribute to the 38-year-old soccer star — calling her just that.
Usain Bolt still holds the world record for fastest time in the 200-meter flat, but Noah Lyles is right on his heels. The 26-year-old American track and field star ran the third-fastest time in history last July and broke a different kind of record held by the Jamaican legend on Sunday.

Former New England Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel gave his take on the Best NFL Coach of All Time discussion and proudly snubbed Bill Belichick.
Samuel’s recent takes on his former coach and team have come off as personal. The 11-year cornerback declares that none of his takes are a shot at Belichick and the Patriots.

In the NFL, July means training camp. Training camp means bitter position battles and occasional joint practices.
Bitter position battles and occasional joint practices, in turn, often mean fights.
The Jets, under the spotlight as quarterback Aaron Rodgers takes over and HBO’s Hard Knocks films, had multiple fights break out on Saturday. Reporters questioned New York coach Robert Saleh as to his thoughts on the proceedings, and he set up an analogy instantly recognizable to any parent or child.
One of the biggest storylines of this NBA offseason is seeing if the Heat trade for longtime Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard.
Lillard, who requested a trade from Portland back on July 1, reportedly remains adamant that he wants to end up in Miami. However, an official trade has yet to materialize. According to the Associated Press’ Tim Reynolds, there might be one specific Heat player that entices Lillard to join the team.
“He’s made up his mind, this is what he wants,” Reynolds said on Saturday Sports World with Marc Stein. “There’s a billion reasons why.
Anything that can give players an edge come game time at the World Cup is key. A big part of that for the U.S. women’s national team is food.
When former Celtics and current Mavericks forward Grant Williams sat down to discuss his playoff drama with Jimmy Butler, it seemed to make sense for the most part. Williams, who spoke about it during a sitdown with Tidal League, explained the back-and-forth with Butler.
“Jimmy says ‘hell naw he ain’t here,’ so I made a three, and I said ‘hell no, motherf—–, I’m here! … The next play, Jimmy … boom boom, stop, pivot, and-one, and he says ‘I’m here too, motherf—–!’” Williams said.
Randy Moss and Jason Williams are two of the best athletes of all-time at their respective sports. Although the latter may not get the credit that he deserves in terms of accolades, he is one of the greatest passers in NBA history. The former, on the other hand, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and sits on the hypothetical Mount Rushmore for best wide receivers in history.
Putting them together, on the same team, is a recipe for dominance. However, somehow, they fell short.
Moss and Williams are from the same part of West Virginia.
Brian Harman finished off his dominant play at the British Open with a solid 1-under par, 70 in Sunday’s final round, which gave him a stunning 6-shot victory and the first major championship of his career.
