Just where the hell does U.S. women’s national team forward  Megan Rapinoe  get off? Why is it that she and other female professional athletes can’t just go play ball without bringing all this other stuff into it?
“Honestly  I feel like we are a walking protest ”  Rapinoe  said. “The fact that we’re women professional athletes says that in and of itself. We’ve been feeling the inequality; we’ve been struggling with pay equality or whatever it is  or sexism in sports.
Let’s leave the sarcasm of my second paragraph aside and get serious:  Rapinoe  is saying  her  very existence is a protest.  She  and other female professional athletes are bucking societal expectation the moment they get out of bed to fix a cup of coffee.
Can you imagine the pressure and frustration that must bring? Who could blame  Rapinoe  or anyone else if they were to go along to get along by accepting the status quo? If they were afraid to draw any additional attention to themselves or speak out on controversial topics?
 Rapinoe  made headlines this week by saying FIFA didn’t care about women’s soccer  after the organization nominated a little-known college player as  its  top international player of the year.
“The award just doesn’t hold a lot of weight when you’ve got someone on the list I’ve never heard of ”  Rapinoe  told the BBC.
 Rapinoe  was also at the front of a push for a pay raise for the women’s national team.
 She  said the conversation got moved into a direct comparison with the men’s team  but “for us the conversation is always about getting paid what we feel like we’re worth and getting paid as the sport grows and as we help grow the sport – I mean we’ve seen tremendous growth in the sport the last four or five years.”
The push resulted in a new contract   Rapinoe  said  but  she  and four teammates took the matter to federal court. They said they earn about a quarter of what their male counterparts earn  even though the women’s team  which in 2015 won the World Cup for the third time  brought in about $20 million more in revenue than the men  according to a U.S. Soccer financial report.
As for the anthem   Rapinoe  took a knee a year ago  before a National Women’s Soccer League match in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick  who was seeking to bring attention to systemic racism and overly aggressive police tactics in minority communities.
If a group is protesting for its rights   Rapinoe  said  “you need people from every slice of society to kind of get behind that  and at the end of the day we’re all the same  we’re all just human beings; in this country we’re all Americans and everybody deserves the right to you know have life liberty and all the things that we love to hang our hat on as Americans.

SOLUTION: Megan Rapinoe

PROBLEM: It was supposed to be a triumphant year for  White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner . Part of the team that guided his father-in-law to victory in 2016   the young Kushner  was catapulted into the highest echelons of power.
 He  was handed a broad portfolio that included making peace in the Middle East and was reportedly a key part of Trumpâs inner circle and decision-making team. But as 2017 dragged on  the man known as Mr. Perfect had anything but a perfect year.
Here are  Kushner âs worst moments from 2017:
When  Kushner  visited Iraq in April  he obviously did not want to abandon his dedication to preppy style. But the image of the senior adviser sporting a flak jacket (with âKushnerâ scrawled on it)  along with a blazer and khakis  brought on a torrent of mockery.

Although  Kushner  stepped down as head of Kushner Companies in January   his  real-estate firm gave  him  a number of headaches throughout 2017. Perhaps the biggest one was its use of the EB-5 visa program  which allows wealthy investors to gain visas in return for investing in the U.S.
Jared and Ivanka are reported to be scaling back their roles in the White House after officials have become annoyed by their presence. The move came shortly after Trumpâs decision to back Sen. Luther Strange in the Alabama Senate primary backfired spectacularly and Strange was crushed by conservative challenger Judge Roy Moore.  Kushner  was widely believed to have been a key voice in urging Trump to get involved in the race and back Strangeâa decision Trump himself admitted may have been a âmistake.â
 Kushner  was also widely reported to be a key official encouraging President Trump to fire FBI Director James Comeyâa move which has since turned out to be seen as a mistake as it directly led to the appointment of FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller  whose probe has dogged the Trump administration throughout 2017.
FBI Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs appointment was announced in the wake of the firing of FBI Director James Comeyâa decision reportedly backed by  Kushner . But as the probe has gone on   Kushner  has apparently become a key figure for Mueller.
 Kushner  was part of a 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer at Trump Towerâa meeting which Trump Jr. said he took as it promised information that would âincriminateâ Hillary Clinton.
 Kushner  was questioned by Muellerâs team in November  during which  he  reportedly answered questions about a meeting with the Russian ambassador during the transition. It later emerged that  Kushner  was the âsenior Trump officialâ who directed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to contact the ambassador about a U.N. vote on Israeli settlements.
While it is not clear if the Mueller team believes  Kushner  did anything wrong  Muellerâs interest in him has no doubt led to a tough 2017 for  Kushner .
 Kushner  spent much of 2017 aggravating congressional lawmakers with  his  lack of disclosure about  his  foreign contacts and other information deemed importantâparticularly over various investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Two Senate committees have complained about  his  failure to hand over certain documents  and that they have learned certain details from the media. Lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee were angered in September when they discovered from media reports that  Kushner  used a private email account occasionally for White House business.
Lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote to  Kushner âs lawyer in November  saying the document collection he provided to the committee was incomplete.
Newsweek reported in December that  Kushner  is still using an interim security clearance after  he  initially omitted dozens of foreign contracts from  his  original form submission for clearance.

SOLUTION:
Jared Kushner
