Megan Rapinoe's campaign for equal pay is seized upon by novelty Christmas jumper market
Just when you thought Megan Rapinoe fever was starting to calm down, think again.
Now the novelty Christmas gift market has joined in and come up with a Rapinoe-inspired festive jumper
The front of the jumper says 'Merry Xmas and a Rapi-noe New Year' while the reverse has sewn into it 'All I want for Xmas is Equal Pay'.
Rapinoe and her US teammates are in the process of suing US Soccer in order to achieve equal pay with their male counterparts.
The jumper, made by company NotJust, retails at £39.99 with part of the profit being donated to a charity of the purchaser's choice. The charities available to donate to are: Equality Now, MIND, Kicking Off, Remake, The Big Issue and Save the Children.
On its website, the manufacturer says: "In 2019 the women’s game continued its charge forwards: exhilarating games, record attendances, increased publicity and – crucially – a figurehead for the movement.
"From equal pay to Donald Trump, the USWNT captain has been both visual and vocal – and that’s before we even talk about her historic World Cup and Balon D’or double. So have a merry Christmas and a Rapinoe year with this knit. "
