Message: [QUOTE="sarals24, post: 3698219, member: 1740"] Well, based on the responses here, it is brave. And I don't think speaking out on things like women's rights, gay rights, and racial issues are media-driven, personally. Megan has consistently pushed for equal pay for the USWNT, for example. She's been talking about being a gay woman in sports for a long time. Neither of those views has been a "popular" topic historically. And it would have been a lot easier for Sue to stay in the closet and just play basketball, but she has instead used her platform and popularity to speak about issues that are important to her, regardless of whether they are comfortable for fans. That to me is extremely brave, but YMMV. [/QUOTE]
