Will Megan Rapinoe run for president? What's it like to be the face of women's sport? Why are there no openly gay Premier League footballers?

Megan Rapinoe isn't just one of the biggest names in women's football - she's one of the biggest names in sport.

She led the USA to victory at the Women's Football World Cup this summer. Don’t be fooled by the pink hair and big smile though. Rapinoe is using her platform to lead the fight for equality in sport.

In a wide ranging interview with Newsbeat’s sports reporter Eleanor Roper she chats about racism in football, equal pay, LGBTQ+ rights and the possibility of a career in politics.
