There's so many pieces in play involved in the growth of WoSo. There's the quality of the game, the attention it is receiving, and the demand for respect. And Rapinoe has been integral to all three. Other women's pro league sports could use a Rapinoe. I think NWSL has now shot past WNBA, and that's an otherwise more popular sport in this country. (For now)
