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.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Cohen is Neutral . "In a private transaction in 2016  I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130 000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford "  Michael Cohen  said in a statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford  and neither reimbursed me for the payment  either directly or indirectly."
Just weeks before the 2016 election   Cohen  reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford  otherwise known as Stormy Daniels  following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump  The Wall Street Journal reported in January
Following initial reports last month that  Cohen  had made the payment   he  said in a statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
In January   the organization Common Cause filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department  alleging that the reported payment to Clifford constituted a campaign finance violation. But on Tuesday   Cohen 's statement denied that accusation and said the monetary exchange was "lawful" and "not a campaign contribution."
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful  and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone "  Cohen  said.
 Cohen  also said  he  filed a reply with the FEC  but that filing will not be public until the agency has resolved the matter.
When asked why  he  made the payment   Cohen  told CNN: "Just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hillary Clinton is Positive . Mere months after being on the receiving end of one of the most stunning losses in presidential election history   former Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook  said thereâs a chance the former secretary of state could run again in 2020.
In an appearance Monday on MSNBC   Mook  was asked by host Greta Van Susteren âwhat are the oddsâ that  Clinton  will run for office again.
âIâm going to let  her  answer for that â  Mook  replied. âI think what happens right now  weâve got to get to the bottom of what happened in 2016  then we can start worrying about the next cycle. But weâve got to make sure that this cannot happen again in two years or four years to anybody else.â
 Mook  also refused to rule out a  Clinton  comeback in 2020 when asked Tuesday by veteran news anchor Dan Rather.
âI have no idea â  Mook  said. âYou genuinely would have to ask  her .â
In recent weeks   Clinton âs name has been linked to reports that  she âs eyeing a political comeback of some kind.
According to TMZ   Clinton  is considering running for New York City mayor â this  despite that a majority of likely voters in the deep blue Big Apple donât want  her  anywhere near city hall.
Still searching for  her  place in a politically frayed Democratic party   Clinton  announced last week at a St Patrickâs Day event in Scranton  Pennsylvania that  she  is âready to  you know  come out of the woods.â
