Captain of the victorious U.S. Women's National Soccer Team Meghan Rapinoe spoke in Manhatten after being honoured in a ticker-tape parade and receiving the Keys to the City by New York City mayor Bill de Blasio for winning the World Cup in France.
A jubilant Rapinoe praised her extended team, politicians and ended with a heartfelt message to all to "be more, be better, be bigger."
The victory also called attention to the team's fight for equal pay with their counterparts on the U.S. men's national team, and by extension, the issue of equal pay for equal work for women in general.
