NEW YORK (AP): Soccer star Megan Rapinoe has scored again, this time with a book deal.
Penguin Press announced Thursday that Rapinoe's book, currently untitled, will be published in Fall 2020.
Penguin is calling the book a "perfect vehicle" for an "honest, thoughtful, unapologetic" take on everything from soccer to nationalism to gay rights.
Meanwhile, a division of Penguin Young Readers will work on a Rapinoe book for middle graders.
Rapinoe became an international celebrity this summer after she helped lead the US women's soccer team to a World Cup championship.
She openly denounced President Donald Trump and said she would refuse to attend a White House celebration if invited.
Trump tweeted in response that Rapinoe should "never disrespect our country, the White House or our flag."
