A U.S. Soccer Star’s Declaration of Independence - NY Times
LYON, France — The latest attempt at a women’s professional soccer league in the United States begins this weekend, so the stars of the American team at the London Olympics have, for the most part, returned to preaching the gospel stateside. Abby Wambach, the powerful striker, is with a team in Rochester; Alex Morgan, the pixieish, pink-headband-wearing poster girl, is in Portland, Ore.; and Hope Solo, the mercurial goalkeeper and “Dancing With the Stars” alumna, would be in Seattle if she was not recovering from a wrist injury.But Megan Rapinoe is not with them.

She has never had an endorsement deal with a skin care line (Solo) nor a desire to pose in body paint (Morgan).
