US women's soccer captain Megan Rapinoe sent a message to Trump: 'Your message is excluding people. You're excluding me, you're excluding people that look like me, you're excluding people of color, you're excluding Americans that maybe support you.'
When asked by CNN's Anderson Cooper what she would say to Trump, Rapinoe looked into the camera and said,"Your message is excluding people. You're excluding me, you're excluding people that look like me, you're excluding people of color, you're excluding Americans that maybe support you.
"Addressing her controversial comments, Rapinoe expressed regret for swearing so much but stood by her decision not to go to the White House."I would not go, and every teammate that I've talked to explicitly about it would not go," she said.
