2019 Ballon D’or winner, Megan Rapinoe has tagged the United States President ‘crazy’ after winning the prestigious award in the Ballon D’or awards on Monday night.
The 34-year old winger who plays for the United States Women National Team and Reign FC was crowned the 2019 Women's Ballon d'Or winner ahead of England's Lucy Bronze and her compatriot Alex Morgan.
Megan Rapinoe, who led United States to their fourth Women World Cup success earlier this year, was not present at the ceremony which went down at the Théâtre du Châtelet but the winger recorded a message and thanked her teammates for their support on and off the field during the World Cup, as she also used the tournament to speak out against the US president Donald Trump.
“I want a new president. Our current one (Donald Trump) is crazy. I’m pleading for a radical democrat who can reform our system.” Rapinoe told France Football.
